The Medal of Freedom now holds the same value as Obama’s Nobel prize.

It isn’t worth the cost of the ribbon,

When an impeached, proven liar, having sex with a woman not his wife in the Oval Office, gets this award, kinda lessens the value of said award.

Oprah who maligned our nation overseas, and Clintoon who is a rapist. These medals mean less than the Nobel peace prize apparently.

Well, Obama got a Nobel peace prize for doing absolutely nothing, turning the award into a meaningless piece of crap. So why shouldn't Clinton, Oprah, and Gloria Steinhem get a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Obama? It actually seems quite fitting. A president who hates our country and despises everything it stands for gives his Presidential Medal of faux freedom to his fellow travelers.

“...only lefties, pinkos...”

Yes one of the awardees was cited for “gay, lesbian, and transgender” civil rights work. If I were Loretta Lynn's manager I would have told her not to attend.

Couldn’t I have a truck load of manure instead?

Hmmmm ..??

Was this Oprah’s reward for calling the USA racist while she was overseas ..??

I used to give her the benefit of the doubt, because I was aware of a terrible childhood.

However, enough is enough.

Loretta Lynn got it too. I always thought she was a conservative. Perhaps Obama gave her one to trick the coal miners into forgetting how horrible he has been to their industry.

I love it. The ultimate circular back-petting show. Reminds me of the the “Pornies” scenes in “Boggie Nights” that parody the Oscars.

Bonus points if they’re not homosexual. High praise for deviancy this morning in the WH.
