"SNIP...........
President Obama awarded the nations highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, to a shocked Vice President Biden on Thursday at the White House, the Washington Post reports.
Biden immediately spun around and wiped his face and eyes with his handkerchief. The president added that he was bestowing the medal with distinction, an additional level of veneration that his predecessors had reserved for only three other recipients Pope John Paul II, former President Ronald Reagan and Gen. Colin Powell.

Something in my eyes. Or maybe allergies or somethin'.

I can only hope that this nation is still around after Fuckump and the right winged shits run it into a 3rd world nation, to allow a democratic president to award Barack H. Obama the Presidential Metal of Freedom.

This never gets old. I have watched this about 5 or 6 times and continues to bring a smile to my face. I just can't see Fuckump doing this. Although, I can see him giving this honor to his kids, wife, himself
