Washington (CNN)Former President Barack Obama has been named the 2017 "Profile in Courage" award honoree by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.

The foundation said Thursday it is recognizing Obama for "expanding health security for millions of Americans, restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba and leading a landmark international accord to combat climate change."

The award, created in 1989, is given to a public official or group of public servants from any level of government each year "whose actions demonstrate the qualities of politically courageous leadership in the spirit of 'Profiles in Courage,' President Kennedy's 1957 Pulitzer prize-winning book," according to the Profile in Courage award website.

Wasn't JFK's book ghost-written? So Obama was just following in JFK's footsteps when he got Bill Ayers to write Dreams from My Father

Actually, this was just a consolation prize. Obama was angling for the Lenin Prize, but he ticked off Vladimir Putin and killed his chances.

The courage was for making Caroline Kennedy Ambassador to Japan.

One suspects that MISTER Obama's alleged presidency, and indeed his entire life, represent the precise reciprocal of true courage.

(Courageous presidents hold pressers and do not rely exclusively on prompters; oh, and they are not blame artists.)

The only thing that Obama and his Admin deserve is to face a firing squad for treason.

politically courageous leadership”??

I can think of only one instance where Obama showed Courageous Leadership. His efforts to Allow Grown Men to use Showers and Bathrooms with Little Girls. I bet he is Proud

I would like to see BHO courageously address his true family history, his true religious beliefs, his college applications, his college grades, how he obtained the use of a social security number originally issued to a dead guy in Connecticut, and his true feelings about the racial situation in America.

Another meaningless Award For King Obama for having dark skin!

He can keep his worthless Nobel Peace Prize Medal in it!

Does the color of one's skin have anything to do with the award rather than one's character? What did Obama do other than order drone strikes...he didn't have to do anything....

"After enduring eight years under a president who played a lot of golf, spent taxpayer moneys on expensive vacations and lavish business trips, and who generally did everything he possibly could to weaken this great nation. We have elected a President who works almost 24/7."

FOR EIGHT YEARS OBAMA HAD HIS CHANCE...INSTEAD HE PAID OFF HIS BACKERS FROM THE LARGESS OF OUR GOVERNMENT AND SPENT MORE TAXPAYER DOLLARS FLYING AROUND THE WORLD IN AF1 APOLOGIZING FOR AMERICA'S GREATNESS.
....pay back for sending Caroline to Japan?

What on earth is the award for....???

That’s tantamount of Teddy Kennedy getting that profile in courage award for saving himself from drowning way back.
