President Barack Obama will honor South African human rights activists at the annual Ford’s Theatre gala Sunday night.
The White House will host a reception ahead of the gala for the Washington theater, where President Abraham Lincoln was fatally shot.
Afterward, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will attend the event featuring singer Kelly Clarkson, comedian George Lopez, actor Dick Van Dyke and others. Ty Burrell of ABC’s “Modern Family” will host.
South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu and South African Constitutional Court Justice Albie Sachs are to receive the Ford’s Theatre Lincoln Medal.
Dolt. Licking the boots of the celebrities.
Why the hell are we giving Lincoln medals to Africans? Don’t they have their own medals?
Again, like the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize going to Paul McCartney, why is this American prize being awarded to non-citizens?
Here’s the list of past Lincoln awardees:

I’m sure the white Afikaaners who are being driven from their homes at gunpoint will receive mention by Zero?
The less he ‘focuses’ on the BP spill, the better.
All he ‘needs’ to do is tell Jindal and other Governors of the affected states, “Do what you need to do, the Coast Guard and US Military have been instructed to spare no effort in assisting you”, then go to his party.
The Ford Theater? In the Lincoln balcony?
Gotta tell ya...I’m a little surprised 0 isn’t giving the award to himself.
Still impressed by celebrities, it feeds Obama’s narcisism when he thinks they’re impressed with him. The burdens of his office are way down his priority list. His arrogance redefines ‘elitism’.
DAY 1 - 48 Golf, party, photo op, golf, vacation, golf, dinner, party...
Call me if you need me...
That’s how it works, right President Tar Ball?
He has time for the Ford Theater but not Normandy yesterday.
I am sure all of the starving South Africans appreciate Obama giving medals to those who made them starve.
While they are there hungry their heroes are over here stuffing themselves with White House Wagyu beef, and listening to a racist Hispanic Comedian.
Yeah, .....a freakin DEATH LASER!!!
“Obama to host party, then attend star-studded gala at Ford Theatre”
