ISRAEL TO AWARD OBAMA PRESTIGIOUS MEDAL IN VISIT

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Israel will award President Barack Obama the country's Presidential Medal of Distinction during his upcoming visit.
Israeli President Shimon Peres' office said Monday that Obama will be recognized for his "unique and significant contribution to strengthening the State of Israel and the security of its citizens."
Obama is scheduled to visit Israel in March - his first as president.
Obama has often had a tense relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the Jewish state's West Bank settlement policies and the lack of peace process with the Palestinians.
But Peres and the committee behind the award noted Obama's overall friendship and backing of the Iron Dome missile defense system.

He can put it on the same shelf as his Nobel Peace Prize, just another thing he hasn't earned.

3. From the same article:
Obama will be the first sitting U.S. president to receive the honor, which was announced by Israeli President Shimon Peres’s office on Monday.
“Barack Obama is a true friend of the State of Israel, and has been since the beginning of his public life,†said Peres in a statement announcing the decision.
:mental:
This would be like the middle class giving him an award for all the help he has given us. :mental:

No heads exploding. Besides the fact that we just never do that, we fully expect liberals to pat each other on the back for things they never accomplished and didn't earn. If Dear Leader were to get an award for personally ending the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, the Civil War, WW1, and WW2, it wouldn't surprise me at all, nor would I expect liberals to see anything unusual about it.

Yeah, in order to get 0bama to go anywhere you have to give him a trinket. He's like that ugly little dwarf from Labyrinth.

Meh, Peres is a figurehead giving out a meaningless medal to The One. Whats the big deal?

Obama got roped.
If he rejects the award then he publically embarrasses himself as insulting our only true mideast ally and would lead to all sorts of political fallout including reinforcing every indictment against his Hagel nomination.
If he accepts the award then he gets tied to the fate of Israel. To wit:
* To allow Israel to be attacked after this is to show himself a fraud.
* If Israel attacks Iran then Iran will remember this moment and drag the US into the conflict; thus putting the onus on Obama to seek the upper-hand solution.
THIS IS HOW YOU MOTHA****IN' PLAY 27-DIMENSIONAL MOTHA****IN CHESS MOTHA ****AHS!!!

Nope. Obama's ego would demand that it be prominently displayed for all to see in the Oval Office.

Obama is as white bread as they come. He's practically Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
The ghetto act is just that: an act to fool certain constituencies.
Did the green energy subsidies go to inner city minorities? No. It went to rich white men who bundled for him.

I was talking about his beard.

It's a participation award, everyone from kindergarten on up gets them. Except for some reason Obama doesn't even have to participate.

Mr. Bunny, well played sir!

Except that given the fact he's in perpetual campaign mode and refuses to govern or take responsibility for anything...he'll be able to blame this on sequestration or the Republicans and the media will then go out and dutifully explain that "in no way and in no uncertain terms does this reflect upon nor have anything to do with the President's stated policy on Israel".

And once again the DUmmies fall for an article from The Onion.

16. If Obama had any integrity, he would decline the honor
but then, he would return the Nobel Peace Prize, as well, if he did have integrity.
