The POS doesn’t know anything about courage.

His speech blandly blends every kind of “effort” under the “courage” banner. If someone makes an effort that is courage????!!!

No, Obozo is a disgrace to this nation and to the office he held. He understands nothing about the virtue of COURAGE.

Belongs in Gitmo as an enemy combatant.
Why is he still roaming free?

0bama is truly a genius at uttering irritating statements which can be nobly defended even though their subtext is offensive. Let’s correct the above. 0bama’s speech writers exhibit this particular genius.

Matthew 18:16 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

As a role model, this is exactly what Obama is doing to every child with parents deluded enough to hold this malicious liar up as an example. He disgusts me.

My grandparents, great-grandparents, and other ancestors who immigrated here did it legally. That is as different from the illegal “dreamers” as my wedding night was from a rapist with a knife attacking a stranger by surprise. There is no meaningful parallel, and pretending they are the same is reprehensible. Like so many socialists before him though, Obama believes that if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. I hope and pray that decent Americans will prove the socialists wrong for once.

This guy’s perception of reality and truth is about as sound as that of the the rabid outspoken Arab on the West Bank and in Gaza.

Rationality has not been a prerequisite.

'Profile In Courage' Acceptance Speech

Appropriate award.

Ted Sorensen wrote "Profiles in Courage," and Bill Ayers wrote "Dreams From My Father."

Sorry Bambi, but Troops, Cops, and First Responders work selflessly for the safety and protection of others, while law breaking dreamers work selfishly for themselves, their own wants, and their own needs.

“Forget “Worst President Ever”

He’s the worst American in American history.”

Post of the year !

This lowlife spent his entire Presidency attempting to undermine the authority, legitimacy and safety of police officers.

Now he attempts to undo the PR damage from his high $$$ speeches by cuddling up to law enforcement.

He “compliments” police by comparing them to illegal immigrants.

You go away !
