Obama to receive JFK "Profile in Courage" award
Washington Times ^ | Thursday, March 2, 2017 | Dave Boyer

Former President Barack Obama was named Thursday as the winner of the 2017 John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage award.

The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation said Mr. Obama is being honored “for his enduring commitment to democratic ideals and elevating the standard of political courage in a new century.”

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late president, and her son, Jack Schlossberg, will present Mr. Obama with the award on May 7 in Boston.

Mr. Obama said on Twitter that he is “humbled to be recognized by a family with a legacy of service.”

The foundation said Mr. Obama’s presidency “consistently reflected in so many ways, big and small, the definition of courage” cited by JFK in his 1957 book, “Profiles in Courage.”

Waiting, praying, SOMEONE SOMEWHERE has to take one for the team and expose this fake American once and for all. Hurry up before he wins an Oscar, a Pulitzer, a Marconi, the Vezina, and Best in Show....

This award may long ago have long ago been destroyed by it's being gifted to an undeserving lout, but never more so than to Obama.

So onward now, to this year's Profile in Courage Howling Laughter award.

The Left is consumed with the concept of "Participation Awards", which is all these awards have come to represent.

And folks, never forget. Obama participated poorly.

Obama should get an award for lying about Benghazi; an award for using the IRS to harass We The People; an award for creating the most debt in US history; an award for treason involving Iran; and award for ROE that caused many American heroes to lose their lives or be wounded; an award for plotting sedition; and the list goes on! Good thing he found the millions to have such a huge house to hold all his disgusting awards and hosting enemies of the American people so they can plot together, ya think?

Took a lot of courage to be a fake, treasonous president for 8 years. In earlier times he would have been executed.

Don’t you EVER mention Obama, homosexual and courage. You don’t get much gayer than him and he was hiding in the closet for 8 years. Same with Hillary. Courage. Sheesh.

There ain’t even the pretense of hope.

JFK was anti- communist and a patriot .

If he was alive today he would have nothing to do with the Marxist, anti - American Dummycrats; he would despise them .

JFK would be a Trump Republican

We should come up with an Obama Awards Committee to, a few times a year, convene to award a truly appropriate award to him. Racist American of the Century, Divider in Chief 2009 -2017, and the like.
