Oprah Winfrey Awarded Highest Civilan Honor Just Days After Accusing Americans of Disrespecting Obama Because He’s Biracial
How do you earn the highest civilian award offered by the White House? Just accuse all white Americans of being racists.
Critics are saying it’s no coincidence that President Obama honored Oprah with the Presidential Medal of Freedom just days after she accused white Americans of disrespecting Obama because he is half black.
It took 5 years for President Obama to honor Oprah with any type of award after she threw her powerful support behind him during the 2008 presidential elections.
From The IBT Times:
Calling the 59-year-old “the pinnacle of the entertainment universe,” President Barack Obama graced Winfrey’s neck with the medal along with former President Bill Clinton, country star Loretta Lynn, women’s rights activist Gloria Steinem, baseball legend Ernie Banks and astronaut Sally Ride. It must be a real honour for Oprah to receive the award along with such prestigious people.
“These are the men and women who in their extraordinary lives remind us of the beauty of the human spirit,” Obama said at the East Room of the White House on Wednesday, November 20.
“In more than 4,500 episodes of her show, her message was always, ‘You can,’” President Obama said of Oprah. Winfrey, dressed in black formal dress looked elated and touched emotionally when President Obama placed the medal around her neck.

Hi
Sandra you do know most if your commenters are well-educated people, right?
“The Executive Order calls for the medal to be awarded annually on or around July 4, and at other convenient times as chosen by the president,[5] but it has not been awarded every year (e.g., 2001, 2010″
@Sandy, I need a funny post, please
CORRECTION: her hair looks like a CHEAP hat
I’m sure she knew she was going to be awarded LONG before she made those comments.
She is also correct.

The Grammy winner threw a rock through his mother’s car window Nov. 10 after a joint counseling session in which she suggested the singer remain in treatment, according to a letter submitted by the rehab facility. The facility’s name was not included in court filings.
“Mr. Brown proceeded to walk outside and pick up a rock and threw it through his mother’s car window and it shattered,” the letter states. Brown was discharged because he had signed a contract agreeing to refrain from violence while in treatment.

You can tear up stuff when you have money to replace it. Most moms don’t realize the damage they do to their kid by not disaplining them. Chris is not going to replace the windshield, she probably is already driving a new vehicle.

One person throwing a rock will not shatter three layers of tempered laminated safety glass. Impossible. There are dump trucks movign at 80mph that dont shatter windshields.
IF he took a baseball bat the windshield, then I’d believe this. Lies and fallacies.

What did you do? Throw a rock through her window?
