What a farce this is....German Chancellor Merkel had done absolutely nothing to deserve this medal by Obama IMHO
What has she done for Netanyahu and Abbas?? What has she done in Libya?? What has she done in Iraq and Afghanistan?? Has she been to these countries to work with their leaders??
I don't think so...this is a joke as judged by the questions from the press to Merkel about Greece and the recovery in Europe.
Obama was asked about unemployment here instead of the Medal of Freedom for Merkel

LOL!! After her awesome speech that multi-culturalism has failed, seems she has been flipping all over the place ever since. That would make her just like Obama.. Of COURSE he gave her a medal. Should have just given her a friendship ring, maybe??? www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,723702,00.html |

Giving Merkel the Presidential Medal of Freedom is about as ridiculous as giving Athony Weiner.. Husband of the Year award

Guess these big people just pass around awards, medals, etc. Pretty much making them worthless these days as it shifts to narcissists like Obama getting them. Embarrassing, if you ask me.

Maybe a metal is cheap if Germany keeps bailing out the PIGS of Europe.

I know my comment will be OT, but this reminds me of the fact that at the end of any little kids' sport season, everyone gets a trophy. The trophy becomes meaningless. |

What was sad today at the Medal Award ....Obama was asked by a German Reporter what exactly did Ms Merkel do to receive this prestigious award and Obama really struggled trying to answer that basic question and gave some off the cuff comments, i.e. she has done much to keep the Euro dollar strong and help with the crisis in Greece and Merkel looked surprised.....he was again un prepared without his TelePrompTer I guess??
