Obama to Give Highest Civilian Award to Union Boss (Namely, Card-carrying Socialist J. Sweeney)
Fox Nation ^ | Nov 19, 2010

President Obama today named AFL-CIO President Emeritus John Sweeney as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. The award is presented to individuals who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.

John Sweeney is a card carrying socialist.

Once again, Obama simply admits he's a Communist and Marxist by awarding this sort of stuff to another Marxist.

Obama does not intend to moderate AT ALL. I suspect he will throw himself MUCH harder to the left.

JOHN SWEENEY

Sweeney rose up the ranks in the UFCW and based on his years there, he should be in jail and not getting a medal.

I expect Obama to give a posthumous award to Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin.

No, I am not joking.

Why haven’t the Joint Chiefs gotten together and decided to overthrow the President by armed coup for crimes against the country and the Constitution? Does ANYONE take their oath of office seriously anymore?

The Medal of Freedom has become as much of a joke as the Nobel Peace Prize.

The fact of the matter is that Nevada put Reid back in, California stayed hard left, Alaska wrote in the Rino, Delaware chose the Communist.

That Drudge story must be true: One in five Americans are INSANE.

A wounded Marxist Narcissist is a dangerous one. He had been rejected, he can’t take it, the only thing he knows how to do is lash out and make payback a b*tch.
