Honorees include host of celebrities who have supported outgoing president and his allies

Barack Obama will deliver his final round of Presidential Medals of Freedom this week to a group largely comprised of Democratic donors and individuals who have supported him politically.

The White House on Wednesday unveiled the 2016 list of honorees, who will on Tuesday receive the nation’s highest civilian award for making “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States.”

Eleven of the honorees have made contributions to Democratic committees or campaigns, including some that directly supported Obama, according to an analysis of Federal Election Commission records by the Washington Free Beacon. Twelve of the individuals have publicly backed Obama or his policies.

A handful of the individuals are Hollywood celebrities who have used their stature to advocate for Obama or Hillary Clinton.

The cheapening of what was once a very honorable reward. The commie ‘RATS have turned it into an “Everybody Gets A Trophy” piece of sh*t.

After all - Obama got the Nobel Peace Price for being a clean, well spoken negro without dreadlocks.

Obama has tainted another medal, like the Nobel prize or a Kerry Silver star. He’s like King Midas, if everything he touched turned into crap.

Obama is such a thief, stealing the value of this award to grease Hollywood whores.

Whatever he does from now on in, will only cheapen his Presidency even more than he already has.
