He gave one to a Rap “artist”.

Ergo, the medal is more worthless than a pike of sh*t.

Oh, forgot, it was crap to a crapper.

From a thread the other day Obama has changed America. But the left will find that these changes will be largely non-ideological. Radical change breaks the system. It leaves scars. It crushes civic institutions. That. more than any of the ideological victories, will be the real impact of the Obama years.

This is the most egregious case of celebrity brown-nosing I’ve ever seen. Ellen DeGeneres? Robert de Niro? Michael Jordan?

Getting a Nobel Peace price for doing nothing makes you really generous with other people’s things.

Needs a legacy where ever he can get one. Releasing felons and giving away medals is all he has.

Here is the criteria:

Presidential Medal of Freedom. Eligibility: Awarded by the President for exceptionally meritorious contributions to national security interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other exceptionally significant public or private endeavors. It is bestowed at the sole discretion of the President.

Given the above that list should be cut by 70%

I have a suspicion that most academic honors, awards, non-military medals and high level honors like the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes go to liberals. What is important isn’t what the person has done. It’s the politics they profess.

A literary agent told me my manuscript was wonderful and he’d represent me if I’d make the main character gay. I considered it as a way of getting my foot in the door, but it turned my stomach, and, more importantly, the story simply wouldn’t have worked. I have seven novels on Amazon and none of them has been published by the mainstream press.

Award too many and the award becomes meaningless. (Not that it wasn’t already meaningless.)

The president recognized NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabber for standing up for his Muslim faith "when it wasn't easy and it wasn't popular."

Really? He stood up for his faith when nobody gave a s**t. And the O thinks it is easy and popular to stand up for it today? Popular? Popular? What a dope.

POTUS, Obama can hand out all the Medals of Freedom, he desires....but...it will not help him, one iota, from being named, identified and noted as the lowest form of “Satan” humanity to hold the USA POTUS!!! Obama has not destroyed America, but, he has destroyed hmself, Hillary Clinton and the entire Democrat Party!!!

African-Americans, you chose the worst person ever, to champion your cause to pursue true fredom liberty and equal opportunity in America. Obama and his Democrat cronies have set you all back 100 years. Wise up, Obama/Clinton could care less about your and your dreams!!! SAD!!! End of story!!

Lefties are big on awards. In most cases its little more than those participation awards they give grade schoolers.

Lefties are big on awards and award ceremonies. It adds to their fake persona of being accomplished.
In most cases the award have little more substance than those participation awards they give grade schoolers.
On fortunately obama, who likes crapping on America and it’s symbols and traditions (transforming America?), is using a once meaningful award and turning it into a “golden star” sticker.

Like the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama has rendered the Presidential Medal of Freedom to irrelevance!

I am surprised that he hasn’t awarded himself the Medal of Honor for getting Ben laden.
