Given out like the Nobel Peace Prize. They made that a joke out of it when they awarded to the terrorist Yassar Arafat.
“”for making “especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States.””
Need some specifics and elaboration, please! MONEY doesn’t count - it doesn’t contribute to the safety of this country of its people.
BIG BARF - TRIPLE THAT.... Pretty pukey!!!!
“”of this country of its people.””
of = OR it’s people...
LOL, why does his Nobel prize come to mind?
mostly, but if you look over the years, maybe not.
FWIW wiki has the list - broken down by business\category\expertise
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Presidential_Medal_of_Freedom_recipients
Presidential Medals for sale. Just like the Clintons,Obama and
his family will bilk the suckers as long as they can. The
use the White House and politics to cheat,rob and steal.
A list of the most far left wing cretins that have ever breathed air:
Ellen DeGeneres
Robert De Niro
Bruce Springsteen
Robert Redford
How in hell do these anti-American dirt bags deserve to be honored with a patriotic medal?
If they double their donations, do they all get Nobel Peace Prizes?
I picture obama tossing all medals in the air towards the crowd and they scramble after them.
Has no more meaning any more than the Nobel Prize — has nothing to do with accomplishments, but everything to do with politics. Once again the Leftists have destroyed something that once had meaning.
There isn’t one thing this thug has done that is for America and free from partisan politics. Hopefully he will be the last “organizer” ever in the White House.
Like the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom has no meaning. Obama besmirches everything he touches.
Yep - the military/DOD civilian world has made a lot of awards/accolades meaningless. They often use the winning of certain awards as the basis for promotion opportunities and the like but is has gotten to the point where the people not being put in for awards are more the exception than those who are. It used to be that only the very best were honored by being submitted for a chance to win and these days it's only the very worst (and sometimes they are submitted and "win") that aren't considered. I tired of the programs about 20 years ago because they really had become meaningless.
