Someone really ought to erect a statue on the Mall to Mary Jo for keeping this reprobate out of the White House. She really DID give her life for her country.

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.”

Profiles In Courage was a BS book written by someone else for JFK. Thus the award should be given to Bill Ayers.
Is that screaming "Service! Service!" as the bartender says "Last Call"?
[[What has Obama ever done that was courageous?]]
Why he courageously braved appearances in front of adoring loving coddling main stream media, and he courageously violated the constitution many times, and he courageously ignored the law when enacting rules and regulations and agreements that required congressional approval- silly
He deserves this as much as the Nobel Peace Prize.
[[but he had a LOT of nerve.]]
Nah- he didn’t have a lot of nerve- he is a coward who wouldn’t confront the enemy, and he had a fawning coddling press corp to protect his every move- Donald has a lot of nerve- knowing that everything he does is going to be ripped to shreds by the left and the msm, and because he’s willing to confront the enemy instead of baking them a cake-
Yep, Obama should have won the Profile in Courage award for The Audacity of Hope, or whatever book Bill Ayers wrote for him (all of them?).

Papa Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger. The Kennedy clan comes from stellar stock.
No Freaking Way!!!!
I don’t think so. Democrats from that era were more conservative then, yes there were Liberals but hard to compare them with today’s Ilk.
In 1972 the radical members of the SDS and others Leftists took control of the party through the Convention that year.
Since then the party has moved into it’s present form freezing out and forcing anyone moderate or conservative out.
A Cy Young Award for a 45 foot "fast ball"?
Yes. And if you don’t give it to him you’re RACIST!! Lol.
He devolved on the issue of same sex shackup.
Ever see a pic of his spouse?
What b.s. The award should be to President Trump, obviously, for showing vastly more courage than any Democrap in standing up for the AMERICAN people, against all the lying globalist elites aka Democraps, RINOs, and MSMscum.
“Papa Joe Kennedy was a bootlegger. The Kennedy clan comes from stellar stock”.
And I thought that when I got that degree from “The Kennedy School of Driving and Diving”, That was Teddy’s big thing you know, I’d be set for life......
I am presenting pResident Obama with the first lifetime achievement award for learning to throw a baseball like a girl. Sorry, girls... that was wrong, I know.
How much courage did it take to send the Mexican Drug Cartels 2,000 firearms for the soul purpose of trying to gin up support for a domestic "assault weapon" ban?
