At the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom ceremony held in the East Room of the White House, 2009 Nobel Peace Prize winner Barack Obama chose to honor more than just a few 'winners.' The colorful collection was a cacophony of politically correct Democrat darlings, with a journalist, a RINO, two deceased homosexuals, a few Latinos, and an occasional black sports figure thrown in for good measure.
In addition to the eclectic array of 13 relatively benign forgers of freedom, three controversial awards also went to a race-baiting billionaire, a misogynist former president, and an abortion-supporting, man-hating women's rights activist.
It was three centuries ago that English Bible commentator and Presbyterian minister Matthew Henry wrote that "The wickedness of a people is great indeed when noted sinners are men renowned among them." Henry's words sum up why Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey, and Gloria Steinem ended up being commended by the president.
As for Bill Clinton, there's no arguing that the 42nd president of the United States is a "noted sinner." Even still, the often-dishonorable Honorable Bill Clinton does deserve a medal. First for criticizing the current president's handling of the Obamacare debacle, and then for allowing the guy he critiqued to approach his neck with something that could easily double as noose.
Clinton may not have realized it, but if the one doing the tying were to express his true feelings towards the honoree, the former president might have found himself in the posthumous category.
Nonetheless, dead presidents and award ceremonies aside, the problem with Bill Clinton is that he's like a Whac-A-Mole- he pops up all over the place, and even walloping him on the head with a rubber mallet probably wouldn't get him to stop butting in.

Honestly, what does anyone expect from the guy who accepted a Nobel Prize for being black?
2013 Medal of Freedom?
Or, reconstituted shrouded Order of Lenin?
Obama has degraded every standard, moral and institution of this country since he became president. Degrading the Medal of Freedom is just one other in a long line of spitting on this country by this America Hater.
You’d expect this to happen from a Nobel Peace Prize winner.
That award belongs on the ash heap of history of once great things progressives destroyed. Good riddance. The inventor of the suicide bombing gets the Nobel peace prize, a charlatan fraud gets the Nobel prize, and now baby killing eugenicists and disgraced impeached serial abusers get the presidential awards.
Koyaanisqatsi.
