The White House announced that President Barack Obama will award the Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award, to 16 recipients including television star and businesswoman Oprah Winfrey, legendary Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and former President Bill Clinton.
“The Presidential Medal of Freedom goes to men and women who have dedicated their own lives to enriching ours,” Mr. Obama said in a statement released by the White House. “This year’s honorees have been blessed with extraordinary talent, but what sets them apart is their gift for sharing that talent with the world.”
Mr. Obama will award the medals later this year. In total, 16 people will receive the award, the White House said.

Nice job, lol...
But you forgot....SATAN!!
I'm saving that for when GW Bush wins his own well-deserved "Presidential Medal of Freedom"....
I mean he did allow the border-crossing of 50 million Illegal Invaders, plus hundreds of thousands of Muslims into the country, AND pushed for Amnesty -- ALL during waging a so-called "War in Terror" as granny's pants were checked for bombs at airports.
” Why not add Susan Rice?”
Next year, no doubt.
Nobody is surprised, but we ARE sickened by this.
Other recipients include Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, Trayvon Martin, Jesse Jackson, Jessie Jackson, Jr., Harry Reid, and Saul Alinsky
Nice job, lol...
But you forgot....SATAN!! “
You never heard of the Devil’s Deciples ?
Aaaah....+1
And Obama picked up the pace, when Bush left.
We were already doing 100 MPH on the authobahn with Bush; 0bama's dropped that Maserati's stick into 6th gear.
” We were already doing 100 MPH on the authobahn with Bush”
Now the entire Bush family tree are regulars in the Obama WH, and Obama is all smiles when he greets each of them.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
You get the Perfect Post of the Day Award.
I believe Yeats’ poem is what it looks like when a civilization begins to collapse. The evil of the age is different but always inspired by the same father. Things fall apart, the center cannot hold.
And to go along with the coronation of Shillary Clinton as the next heir apparent to the highest office in the land, look for Barry Sinclair to award her with Presidential Medal of Freedom a week before the 2016 election.
Just love the mutual admiration society that liberals have created for themselves.
Looking for a 5 mm lens so that I can get both Oprah and Michelle into the same frame.
....mutual admiration society ...
I was just thinking that...also they play musical chairs...but the NEVER just leave!
Well...Obama got one for peace prize along with Arafat..and that gal recently a Bortherhood supporter as well...
We have no borders anywhere in this country anymore...we’re up for grabs and the taking upon the dicktators who rule us now.
..plus they're sexual preditors like this guy.....
I always liked that Yeats poem, but never quite "got" what it meant. Thanks for the interpretation. Makes sense.
Oh, come on now. Is Oprah really that fat lately?/s
