Barack Obama snubs British scientists by refusing to receive Royal Society medal

Is the Royal Society another Nobel Committee; a group of propagandizing Leftists for whom political propaganda trumps “science”?

It has become that. A saner man than Obama might refuse to accept a reward from them as a rebuke to all their inane posturing on AGW.

[Lucky9teen]

"...accused Mr Obama of being obsessed with his “street cred”.

Yep...that sums him up. That's ALL he cares about....well, that and destroying the Western Way of Life to create his Global Government. Pffft. Narcissistic, elitist, self-righteous, POS that he is!!

[Venturer]

Amen Brother.

Another award he wasn’t entitled to.

It is funny though, Brits bending over to kiss the Kenyans buttocks, and he hasn’t the time for them.

Obama steps on his Johnson daily,and his sycophants just keep excusing him.

[Izzy Dunne]

You took the keys right outta my hands.

What are these “exceptional circumstances” ?
What is this “outstanding contribution” he’s made?
How has research been “furthered” by O’bozo?

[Snickering Hound]

The Royal Society's motto is Nullius in verba which tranlated is Take no one's word for it.

That is deeply offensive to Obama.

[American Quilter]

To my knowledge, the fact that he’s completely unqualified has never stopped him from accepting any other award. What was his excuse for turning this one down?

[Rebelbase]

After receiving a Nobel Peace Prize, the Royal Society would be slumming for the anointed one.

[Jonty30]

For being elected, the earth is now healing, the seas are being turned back, the sun is now set in its rightful place in the universe.

That sort of thing.

Barack Obama has snubbed Britain’s most eminent scientists by refusing to attend a Royal Society banquet in his honour at which he was to be awarded with a prestigious medal.
Now why in the world would he do that?!

Royal Society issues new climate change guide that admits there are 'uncertainties' about the science
And Benny Peiser, Director of The Global Warming Policy Foundation also welcomed the Royal Society's decision to revise.
He said: 'The former publication gave the misleading impression that the 'science is settled' - the new guide accepts that important questions remain open and uncertainties unresolved.
'The Royal Society now also agrees with the GWPF that the warming trend of the 1980s and 90s has come to a halt in the last 10 years.

Well imagine that!

When you don't follow in lock step you deserve "The Snub".

[MikeSteelBe]

It’s almost funny how our first “black” president went to England and showed off his white trash half.

[Da Coyote]

I question the Royal Society’s judgement if they actually wanted to give the world’s most stupid idiot a medal.

[fella]

” is awarded in “exceptional circumstances” to heads of state who have “made an outstanding contribution to furthering scientific research in their country”.

For ounce the big Zero has done something classy. He knows he has done nothing to earn that medal and even his lap-dog media could not be restrained from chewing his ankles he he were to take it.

[philman_36]

All those replies and then mine. My thought process is so different from so many others.

[Tax-chick]

They’re probably global warming cultists and deserve to be snubbed, although not by the likes of Zero.

[grobdriver]

Obama is an ill-mannered, self-centered clod.

He is all of that...
But maybe too he just had a moment of rare honesty and understood that he hasn't done anything to deserve such an award.

[AppyPappy]

“made an outstanding contribution to furthering scientific research in their country”.

Even Obama knew this was a joke.

[AppyPappy]

“What specific contribution are they referring to?”

That black contribution.

[PATRIOT1876]

He does a whole lot of snubbing. He’ll be known as the “Snub President”—too bad that he snubs the wrong people.

Why would ANYONE give him an award remotely connected with science?!?! He still promotes the AGW nonsense. Once I know that someone still believes in man-made Global Warming, it’s very, very difficult for me to believe anything else they say again.

[Gator113]

If you listen very carefully, at the point right before the idiot puts his glass down, it sounds like the queen said, “set it down”.

[PoloSec]

Liberals are funny; had he showed up; they would have showered him with love...since he didn’t show up; they shower him with scorn.
