Now that O’dumdum throws those things from parade floats, they kind of lose their importance.
Since the Vietnam War, when medals were handed out like candy, the degradation of medals has only gotten worse. Colonels in Nam got Silver Stars for merely being in country for6 months. The DOD issued more medals for Grenada than there were sevicemen on the island. Soldiers stationed in the States or Europe got the same preference as those who served in the war zone. Today you see more medals on some clerk who never left thd States than Admiral Halsey had. Civilian medals are even more degraded. The Freedom Medal is now officially worthless.
I think I threw up a little watching that mockery of the presidential medal of freedom.
Might as well have given it to his pet dog.
Just follows a pattern around the worldof awarding titles and honors to the undeserving:
Nobel peace prize to dip$hit Obama
Knighthood to Elton John, Bob Geldoff, Paul McCartney, etc
Medal of freedom to moron Biden
Just more evidence that Obama has no understanding of the purpose of the Medal of Freedom. He thinks awards like that and the Nobel Peace Prize are for belonging to the “right” ideology, not for actual achievement. Biden should have been crying from embarrassment, not gratitude, except that of course he’s a member of the “right” ideology, too.

Hey Joe! Where’s that cure for cancer the President said you were working on?
Congrats on your participation troph, Joe!
This is like Dostoyevsky’s The Inspector General. Obama as Danny Kaye. No offense to Danny Kaye’s descendants or his memory
Did he get the Presidential Medal of Groping too?
Biden wanted to know if that meant that people had to start calling him, Sir Joe Biden.
I think what would be appropriate would be for Trump to fill out his cabinet and then award everyone in the new Trump administration with one. At the ceremony he could say “Øbongo set the bar so low that anyone could get one - so everybody gets one!”
Presidential Medal for Comedy Relief, goes to ........drum roll.....
SHOTGUN JOE BIDEN!
Didn’t the cleaner get one too?
Ol slow jow probably got a little blip report on his retirement fund as well ... lil insurance payment.
Is Sunny the dog gonna get one, too, for biting a visitor to the White House?
Bidet get’s his Participation award, devaluing it for those who have truly EARNED it.
Kinda like “Surprise!!! Here’s a Nobel Prize for you Mr. Obama sir!!!”
BO ought to resign next week and let SlowJoe drive for a couple of days—just to make DJT’s “USA45” hat obsolete.

I respectfully disagree. I have known heroic men who (as an example) were awarded the Distinguished Flying
Cross (Helicopters in Vietnam) and I have read their citations - they are not all still with us, but their heroism lives on eternally!
