Obama Gets New Peace Prize Despite Hundreds Of Civilian Casualties In Drone Strikes
Daily Caller ^ | August 6, 2018 | Benny Johnson

Former President Barack Obama has received another peace prize.

The former president was named a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope laureate Monday. The award honors those who "work toward a more just and peaceful world." The RFK nonprofit tweeted that it is "honored to present Barack Obama" with the award.

Obama will officially be presented with the award by Ethel Kennedy in December at the organization's annual gala. Obama infamously was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize just months into his presidency. Obama faced criticism for multiple human rights abuses during his tenure as commander in chief. Obama was criticized harshly for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq and creating a vacuum that was filled by ISIS. He has also been harshly condemned for his embrace of drone warfare. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Obama killed nearly 1,000 civilians in more than 500 drone strikes during his presidency.

Thanks for the photo. Every time I see Obama or Hillary I thank my lucky stars that they are GONE.

It’s kinda cool being a part of a club where we all slap prizes on each other for whatever reason, or no reason at all. :)

Oh, barf. He didn’t deserve the first one and, if he had any honor at all, would have given it back. But then, what do you expect from someone with enough hubris to write an autobiography while in their 30’s despite having done absolutely nothing.

0bunghole and Hillary also got 17 Pakis killed with their propaganda.

Pakistanis didn't know about any (Innocence of Muslims) "video" or any "insults" until 0blablah and Hillbilly broadcast this...

Obama and Hillary Apologize for Free Speech on Pakistani TV (taxpayer-funded ads) Sept. 20, 2012

Which immediately resulted in this...

Pakistan: 17 killed in anti-Islam film protests Sept. 21, 2012

0bama then went to the UN and re-inflamed the Muslim world once again over the manufactured offense "Innocence of Muslims."

U.S. President Speaks to U.N. About YouTube Video

Those apologies validated their anger.

Is there a chart comparing daily civillian and military deaths of o’bunghole versus Trump? They must be very low under trump because every news station does not have a dead counter at the bottom of the screen

"The award honors those who 'work toward a more just and peaceful world.'"

Using our embassy to destablize libya and then boasting that we came we saw he died was indeed a war crime and pisspoor diplomacy.

Gaddafi was a POW who was tortured abused and murdered and sec of hate herr clinton laughed about it on CBS News.
