Greek columns, heavy use of personal pronouns, millions of sycophants (which include Mr. Obama himself), awarding himself a medal is the logical next step. I haven't seen a man this unfazed by his own bumbling and ineptitude since Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau.
Snopes strongly disagrees with me.

Reprise. From Thomas Lifson: Obama grotesquely had himself awarded a Defense Dept. medal yesterday   . . . "His appointee and subordinate Ash Carter yesterday pinned a military medal – the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service – on his boss, as Warner Todd Huston reported for Breitbart." . . .

Many commenters on Knoller’s Twitter feed were incredulous at the award. Some likened the award to a much maligned “participation medal” and others were skeptical of Obama’s underling giving his own boss a medal.

@markknoller so Carter whom was picked for Secretary of Defense by Obama gives him an award! I wonder who's idea that was EGO & CHIEF?

Snopes tells us Presidents Bush and Clinton received the same honor.  . . . "This is the highest honorary award presented by the Secretary of Defense to non-career Federal employees, private citizens, and foreign nationals. The Secretary of Defense is the approval authority. This award consists of a gold medal, a miniature medal, a rosette, and a citation signed by the Secretary of Defense. An individual may receive this award more than once. Subsequent awards consist of the foregoing recognition devices and a bronze, silver, or gold palm, as appropriate. 
"Although the Department of Defense (DoD) is part of the executive branch, the President himself does not play a part in the nomination or approval process for recipients of the DoD's Medal for Distinguished Public Service:" . . . Yeah, right. 

The Politics Forums had some discussion on this:  . . . "Carter insisted that the medal was a token of appreciation for Obama’s service as commander in chief, the Associated Press reported.

"After spending the last few weeks throwing roadblocks in the path of President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team, Obama nonetheless claimed in his remarks to the members of the military in attendance that “We’ve got to make sure that during this transition period that there is a seamless passing of the baton, that there’s continuity.' ”

Obama awards medals to his celebrity friends.  Of course.

A visit to the Battleship Bismark

The Scuttling of Naval Ships During the World Wars – there were a lot

Bismarck's history  "In the course of the warship's eight-month career under its sole commanding officer, Capt. Ernst Lindemann, Bismarck conducted only one offensive operation, in May 1941, codenamed Rheinübung. The ship, along with the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen, was to break into the Atlantic Ocean and raid Allied shipping from North America to Great Britain. The two ships were detected several times off Scandinavia, and British naval units were deployed to block their route. At the Battle of the Denmark Strait, Bismarck engaged and destroyed the battlecruiser HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy, and forced the battleship HMS Prince of Wales to retreat; Bismarck was hit three times and suffered an oil leak from a ruptured tank.

"The destruction of Hood spurred a relentless pursuit by the Royal Navy involving dozens of warships. Two days later, heading for the relative safety of occupied France, Bismarck was attacked by obsolescent Fairey Swordfish biplane torpedo bombers from the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal; one scored a hit that rendered the battleship's steering gear inoperable. In her final battle the following morning, Bismarck was neutralised by a sustained bombardment from a British fleet, was scuttled by her crew, and sank with heavy loss of life. Most experts agree that the battle damage would have caused her to sink eventually. The wreck was located in June 1989 by Robert Ballard, and has since been further surveyed by several other expeditions." . . .

Cold War relic, present day threat

Charles Krauthammer  "You can kick the can down the road, but when Kim Jong Un announces, as he did last Sunday, that “we have reached the final stage in preparations to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic rocket,” you are reaching the end of that road.

Art wanted

"Since the early 1990s, we have offered every kind of inducement to get North Korea to give up its nuclear program. All failed miserably. Pyongyang managed to extort money, food, oil and commercial nuclear reactors in exchange. But it was all a swindle. North Korea was never going to give up its nukes because it sees them as the ultimate guarantee of regime survival.

"The North Koreans believe that nukes confer inviolability. Saddam Hussein was invaded and deposed before he could acquire them. Kim won’t let that happen to him. That’s why Thae Yong Ho, a recent high-level defector, insisted that “As long as Kim Jong Un is in power, North Korea will never give up its nuclear weapons, even if it’s offered $1 trillion or $10 trillion in rewards.”

"Meanwhile, they have advanced. They’ve already exploded a handful of nuclear bombs. And they’ve twice successfully launched satellites, which means they have the ICBM essentials. If they can miniaturize their weapons to fit on top of the rocket and control reentry, they’ll be able to push a button in Pyongyang and wipe out an American city.

"What to do? The options are stark:" . . .

Twenty-two Guantanamo detainees to be freed within days as Obama plans mass transfer of fanatics who have threatened to bomb and behead Americans

Dare I say that this is to spite President Trump? Sorta like Obama closed off open-air monuments during the shutdown out of spite for Republicans.
Obama is a spiteful and vindictive man.  TD

UK Daily Mail  "President Obama is planning to transfer at least 22 additional Guantanamo Bay detainees out of the military detention center before he leaves office later this month, DailyMail.com has learned.

"The group being released will be drawn from those held at Guantanamo - who include an accused senior al Qaeda bomb-maker, the terror group's top financial manager, and two intended 9/11 hijackers, who have all been held in the Cuba-based U.S. detention facility for more than a decade.

"According to a military source briefed on the process, 22 detainees are being prepared for transfer out of the camp, also known as Gitmo, before January 20.

"Although the White House has not specified which inmates will be transferred out – or which foreign countries have agreed to accept them – it has indicated that this will be a priority for Obama in his final days in office." Read about all the others being released at the link.

Why does the world hate Jews enough to side with those who want to kill them. And do.

World opinion against Israel comes from a great many factors — especially a certain ancient one. Victor Davis Hanson

 

Victor Davis Hanson: Why the Anti-Israel Sentiment?  "Secretary of State John Kerry, echoing other policymakers in the Obama administration, blasted Israel last week in a 70-minute rant about its supposedly self-destructive policies. 
    "Why does the world — including now the U.S. — single out liberal and lawful Israel but refrain from chastising truly illiberal countries? 
    "Kerry has never sermonized for so long about his plan to solve the Syrian crisis that has led to some 500,000 deaths or the vast migrant crisis that has nearly wrecked the European Union.
    "No one in this administration has shown as much anger about the many thousands who have been killed and jailed in the Castro brothers’ Cuba, much less about the current Stone Age conditions in Venezuela or the nightmarish government of President Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines, an ally nation." . . .

A Messianic Jew discusses the world's hatred of Jews while giving an overview of the their history as told by both Old and New Testaments


Michael Medved:  Why the world hates the Jews
"Many of the bitter controversies in every corner of the globe inevitably raise the same ancient question: why does the world hate the Jews?
"Whether it’s the angry international reaction to Israel’s efforts to defend itself in Lebanon, or Mel Gibson’s drunken rant in Malibu, the age­old specter of anti­Semitism refuses to disappear. With only 13 million Jews in the world – less than one fourth of one percent of the earth’s population – why does this tiny group inspire such bitter, widespread and often violent animosity?

"The answer is obvious to anyone who monitors anti­Semitic propaganda from all its multifarious sources." . . .

Pat Buchanan: Bitter Obama in ‘Despair, ’ Leaving With ‘Let’s Wreck the Place’ Attitude

Pam Key, posting at Breitbart:   "Wednesday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” conservative political commentator and former staffer for Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan Pat Buchanan said President Barack Obama was acting with “bitterness” when today at a meeting on Capitol Hill he told Democrats to resist helping Republicans replace his signature legislation, the Affordable Care Act. Buchanan said, “I think what you are seeing here — If that is an accurate report of what he said — Here is a guy who really feels he’s been rejected and repudiated. I’m astonished he’s letting it show like this." . . .

Obama grotesquely had himself awarded a Defense Dept. medal yesterday

What a tin-pot third-world dictatorship thing to do. A third-world president elected by a third-world electorate.

Thomas Lifson  "President Obama has another ironic award for his trophy shelf, to accompany his Nobel Peace Prize and all those participation trophies he got at Punahou for his basketball skills.  His appointee and subordinate Ash Carter yesterday pinned a military medal --  the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service -- on his boss, as Warner Todd Huston reported for Breitbart." . . .

Defense Secy Carter presents Pres Obama with Dept of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service.

"The ceremony took place at Joint Base Myers-Henderson, before a crowd that had an awful of of empty seats, almost as if the military service members who attended were there on orders."

A medal for this? The reviews are in, and Obama failed

. . . "Let's be specific:  

1) not a single year of 3% GDP growth or higher;

2) jobs increased by less than 7 million, i.e. not enough;

3) food stamps up significantly;

4) student loan debt now exceeds $1.3 trillion, or the size of Canada's GDP; 

5) ObamaCare has messed up an excellent health care system that needed reforms not a government takeover; and,

6) we've added $10 trillion to the national debt.

Oblivious Obama pens farewell as world burns down around him

"Bearing his trademark humility and modest historical self-regard, President Obama this week announced that he will, indeed, follow the lead of George Washington and allow “for a peaceful, democratic transfer of power.” 

"What a guy!
"And just in case anybody has failed to grasp how extraordinarily lucky we have been these past eight delightful years, Mr. Obama also announced that he has begun “penning a farewell address to the American people.”
"Lord, help us. We don’t deserve this!
"It is not enough that we have endured eight long years of arrogance, preaching and failure? Now we have to stand by to watch him revel in it?" . . .

CNN's Don Lemon: Anti-Trump Violence Against Disabled Man 'Not Evil'

This Don Lemon. Oh, better still, this fruit from the Lemon tree:  Biting Rapist Penis And 8 Other Stupid Things Don Lemon Has Said

PJ Media   "On Wednesday, news broke that a white man was beaten by four black teenagers who streamed the event on Facebook Live and yelled "f*ck Donald Trump" and "f*ck white people" while they did it. Later that evening, "CNN Tonight" host Don Lemon declared that their crime was "not evil."

"The disturbing 30-minute Facebook Live video showed a man tied up and his mouth covered, while his attackers laugh and shout racist and anti-Trump slurs as they kick and punch him — and even cut into his forehead with a knife! The attackers' alleged connection to "Black Lives Matter" has not been confirmed, but #BLMKidnapping was trending on Twitter.

"The Daily Caller's Matt K. Lewis described the event as "evil." "That's what this is, it's evil, it's brutality, it's man's inhumanity to man."

"At that, Lemon disagreed. "I don't think it's evil," he said, repeating the point for emphasis. "I think these are young people and they have bad home training." Then, he explained, "I have no idea who's raising these young people, because no one I know on earth, 17 years old or 70 years old, would ever think of treating another person like this.' " . . .

The Great Hijab Cover-Up

Ann Coulter

"Forget fake news; the real issue is fake "hate.” 

"Has there been one (1) documented hate crime committed by white people against any hue in the Rainbow Coalition since Nov. 8? That's out of the 9,456,723 hate crimes alleged by America's leading hate group, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 

"The SPLC is to "hate" what Rolling Stone is to rape. It is the biggest peddler of fantasies since Walt Disney.

"I've read through dozens of SPLC "hate crimes" and they are all lies. The Muslim girls in particular seem to be very spirited liars. 

"Since the election, there have been vivid stories from across the nation of Trump supporters tearing off Muslim girls' hijabs ­­ at the University of Michigan (since retracted), Louisiana State University (also retracted), San Diego State University (that too was retracted), the New York City subway (again: retracted), and the University of New Mexico (no witnesses, won't reveal attacker's name or report the incident for investigation). 

"The main take­away from all these stories is: We sure have taken in a lot of Muslims! They seem to have trouble assimilating to American laws about not committing mass murder, but the good news is, when it comes to America's culture of victimhood, they assimilate like fish to water! "

The University of No Characteristics Whatsoever

Mike Adams

"Dear Professor Meinhold, Members of the Faculty Senate Steering Committee:

"It has been several weeks since I published my column “My Faculty Values and Your White Privilege” on Townhall.com. In that column, which I have linked here, I warned you about the dangers of a resolution you passed condemning faculty members for publicly commenting on the demographic characteristics of students. I specifically enumerated five problems with your statement, which was an overreaction to a free speech controversy involving a faculty member (yours truly). The problems I enumerated demonstrated that your committee did not think matters through before passing the emotionally driven and politically motivated resolution.

"Please recall that I also gave you an opportunity to rescind the resolution. I cautioned that if you refused to do so, I would be forced to submit a series of proposals that would ensure compliance with your stated values and would result in significant cuts to the university budget. Accordingly, I write today to recommend that we get rid of the following programs and initiatives in order to address some glaring inconsistencies: 

"The Black American English Guide. Seven years ago, I wrote a column (under the title “Wigger, Please!”) about one very confused UNC­Wilmington education professor who was teaching white education students how to “talk black” in order to be better prepared to teach their black students. In case you think I’m joking, I have provided a link to the column, here. 

Professor Mike Adams: After his involvement in a well publicized free speech controversy in the wake of the 911 terror attacks, Mike Adams became a vocal critic of the diversity movement in academia. He has since made appearances on shows like Hannity and Colmes, the O'Reilly Factor, and Glenn Beck. His column on TownHall.com has earned him countless hate mails - often from radical feminists who hate males.
