President Obama Awards Himself Distinguished Public Service Medal
On Wednesday, President Obama added another prestigious medal to his Nobel Prize collection when he had Defense Secretary Ash Carter award him with the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service.
Secretary Carter awarded his boss with the medal on January 4 during the Armed Forces Full Honor Farewell Review for the President held at Conmy Hall, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia.
Carter insisted that the medal was a token of appreciation for Obama’s service as commander in chief, the Associated Press reported.
How embarrassing. This award is like baking your own birthday cake, signing your own card, buying your own gift to you, and throwing a party that no one shows up for. I heard the ceremony was poorly attended which says it all.
Recipients of the medal are nominated by the Department of Defense and approved by the Secretary of Defense. So no, he didn't actually award himself a medal. You would all know this if you would actually do a little research
Looks like something the Board of education would do during the graduation ceremonies. Give themselves self congratulations before handing out the diplomas for those who truly deserved it. Nothing more disgusting that a blow hard public official!
Just like Castro.

What arrogance! And what a joke! This move diminishes the importance of this prestigious award toward our true leaders and heroes of our defense.

ReplyDeleteAwarded himself????? Unstinking believable ...participation medal
ReplyDeleteFor a man who publicly has such disdain for the military, how is this even possible? The citation must be a work of art.
ReplyDeleteApparently he also awarded himself US citizenship.
ReplyDeleteFrom a Peace Prize that was not deserved to this award, Obama has been a joke as president!

ReplyDeleteAs a Veteran this makes me sick!
ReplyDeleteDamn, wasn't he worried another case of work place violence might break out?
ReplyDeleteA medal? A letter? How about a self-written note on a Post-It instead.
