President Barack Obama, whom neocons and crazed conservative pundits call the “most anti-Israel president ever", is about to be awarded the Presidential Medal of Distinction by Shimon Peres, the President of Israel, when President Obama travels to Israel next month.
“Obama, the first sitting U.S. president to receive the recognition, will be awarded the medal for making ‘a unique and significant contribution to strengthening the State of Israel and the security of its citizens,’ according to a release announcing the news,” CNN reports.
Included among those neocons who attack President Obama over Israel are Liz Cheney, Mark Levin, Sarah Palin…
The Israeli Prime Minister’s Facebook page is having a contest to determine which should be the official logo (image, top) honoring President Obama’s historic trip to Israel.
n the business of presidential medals, reciprocity is the name of the game.
President Shimon Peres will honor US President Barack Obama with Israel’s highest civilian award, the Presidential Medal of Distinction, just as Obama conferred the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian award, on Peres at a presidential dinner in Washington in June.
The Presidential Medal of Distinction, which came into being at Peres’s initiative, was awarded for the first time last year.
Pretty funny! No other American President has received this medal! (Because it just started last year.) Talk about slanted reporting. I think LJ just got punked by her own source. (Just can't trust those Fox people.)
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
I note that Obama is being given the Presidential Medal of Distinction, while the neo-nuts are still trying brand him as the “most anti-Israel president ever".
Alaska just called... They want their half-governor back...
