Barack Obama receives RFK Human Rights award at NYC gala
abc ^ | December 13, 2018 | SABRINA CASERTA

Former President Barack Obama was honored with the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award at a gala in midtown Manhattan Wednesday evening.

"I'm not sure if you've heard, but I've been on this hope kick for a while now. Even ran a couple of campaigns on it. Thank you for officially validating my hope credentials," Obama said during his remarks.

The organization's president, Kerry Kennedy, presented the award, which celebrates leaders "who have demonstrated a commitment to social change." Past recipients include Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Bono, George Clooneyand Robert De Niro.

"If we summon our best selves, we can inspire others to do the same. It's easy to succumb to cynicism, the notion that hope is a fool's game," Obama said.

"When our leaders are content on making up whatever facts they want, a lot of people have begun to doubt the notion of common ground," Obama said.

LOLOL...eight long years under The Lightbringer and all we have to show for it is “Ripples of Hope.” For years we saw that miserable smug cretin’s “Hope” poster and not it is reduced to mere “ripples.”

What a joke.

One of their famous...”you pat me on the head” and “I’ll pat you on the ass next time.”

Crap awards for laughable performance.
