After the Destruction of Iraq, Obama will award Bush the Presidential Medal of Freedom!

[Sajdah]

President Obama dropped a bipartisan bombshell today, announcing he will award the Presidential Medal of Freedom next year to ex-President George H.W. Bush.
​

​

​

“These outstanding honorees come from a broad range of backgrounds and they’ve excelled in a broad range of fields, but all of them have lived extraordinary lives that have inspired us, enriched our culture, and made our country and our world a better place. I look forward to awarding them this honor,” Obama said.​

It's Old Bush, not Dumb Bush, but still. Another example of Obama's perfidy.

The members of the elite club of the Oval Office have an open agreement that none of them should ever be held accountable for anything whatsoever. Wait around long enough, and Dumb Bush will be rehabilitated, too. It's another example of how U.S. politics is broken and changes nothing.

LOL, and I was wondering why is there H. after George? I've first read it in Arabic, and they always refer to him as "Bush, the father", but they didn't do it this time....Anyway he is not less responsible for the current status of Iraq!

How can anyone ever mistake either Bush with a defender of freedom, I just can't figure out.

Awards are losing a lot of prestige these days.

Obama won the Nobel peace prize essentially just for taking office as President.

Now Bush Sr. gets a very high award for sitting around in his comfy Dallas estate.

People are actually doing stuff that deserve recognition.

And to say there's no recognition for important accomplishments.........

I'd love to see Maya Angelou or somebody else who might actually deserve it tell him to take his award and stuff it, but I don't suppose there's any hope of that actually happening.

Arm third world mud holes and then destroy them, quite a racket.

I'll believe this when it happens but it wouldn't surprise me Obama is a politician first and foremost.

Do you think this decision is affected by the results of the midterm elections?
