What a cheapening of the award...
-
Total joke. Good riddance!
-
Well, there needs to be an award for being a loyal sycophant to the clean guy with no negro dialect.

thanks.
A story from work:
My company gives out something called Project Achievement Awards to Project team members when there is a significant, well, achievement. It's not just for completing the expected work, but for projects overcoming significant challenges, etc etc.
A co-worker proudly displayed the one he got (and rightly so).
A co-op we had supported a project for the final two weeks of the project. The co-op was a good guy, but didn't do anything spectacular. That multi-year project wrapped up and the project team members were each given a Project Achievement Award. Yep, the co-op got one too.
My co-worker stopped displaying his.
Thanks obama, thank you for making a joke of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

The awardees of the Presidential Medal of Freedom is rather long and a quick perusal indicates to me a partisan bias, depending on who is in office:

notice how few are awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction.
Bad enough to throw the PMOF away on biden, but with Distinction? barf.
-
Spiro Agnew was more deserving.
-
Yes, once an award goes to a person who clearly has done nothing to earn it, it begins to degrade as a true honor.
One would think the first question before awarding would be, "For what? Why is this person deserving of this award."
If that step is skipped, all involved look ridiculous.

You mean like the Nobel award that was given to Obama just for winning the election?

Yes, and that one was particularly ironic because it was the "Peace" prize if I recall correctly. Ultimately he was the most divisive president our country has ever seen, in my opinion.

The real pathetic joke was Obama granting it to himself a week earlier.

Isn't Obama the only President to be at war every day of his eight year rule? How many of our soldiers have been killed in Afghanistan under his reign?

He promised to get is out of Iraq, Afghanistan, and close Gitmo (which I disagreed with). He also said we could keep our doctor, and healthcare plan, and that our healthcare costs would go down. Mine has gone up 50% in cost, and the deductibles have doubled.
Obama has promoted racist, sexist, and gender bending divisiveness. He has also not enforced selective laws, including illegal alien laws. He is the worst President we've had, except Hillary would have out done him in the worst ever department.

A whole lot more Americans troops in Iraq and Afghanistan died under GWB than BHO.

1728 US troops have died in Afghanistan since October 7, 2001, with 1153 of those deaths having occurred since President Obama's inauguration. 575 US troops died in Afghanistan during President Bush's term in office.

—Under Obama, the United States has been at war for 2,687 days. That's longer than under George W. Bush — or any other U.S. president, for that matter.
-
Many more American troops died during Bush's Presidency. Afghan deaths could have been minimized by eliminating KNOWN terrorists and bases in Afghanistan during the Bush years but he diverted American assets to Iraq allowing Bin Laden to escape and the Taliban to reconstitute. Sure, more Americans have died in Afghanistan under BHO., did you not expect there to be a cost to Bush stupidity?

Of course the daily death count found in most newspapers suddenly stopped as soon as Obama became president. We can expect it to start up again under Trump.

Of course, along with daily stories about the homeless. All the things that went wrong under B.O. and were ignored will suddenly be front page news.

It never ceases to amaze me at how liberals will just pull out the Bush card, regardless if he's been out of office for 8 years or not. President Obama wasn't responsible for one single thing that went wrong during his presidency because it was all Bush's fault.

Amazing, isn't it? Obama was perhaps the worst U.S. President in history, yet got a total pass from the media on just about every issue including all the continuous wars. How many Navy Seals died? How many soldiers, and Marines were killed, and maimed by IED's in Iraq, and elsewhere, yet very little mention in the media. Where was the outrage? Total scam.

So its not Obama stupidity that he continued wars, and started new conflicts over the past eight years? He is not to be held accountable? It is still Bush's fault when Obama could have put a stop to existing wars, and prevented others? You really sound like an idiot. You know that, right?

Because Americans aren't dying every single day like they were during the Bush administration in Iraq and Afghanistan.
-

And Americans were dying everyday during the 8 years of the failed Obama Administration.
And don't forget those Americans that died during drone strikes, never receiving their constitutional rights.

You Really are that stupid.
Congratulations in having fully submersed yourself in propaganda for dummies.

Don't like the truth, call it fake news or propaganda but offer nothing to refute my statements or call me stupid but say nothing that proves your intellectual superiority. Typical. Nothing to see here, just move along.
