"The former president was named a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope laureate Monday.
The award honors those who 'work toward a more just and peaceful world.' The RFK nonprofit tweeted that it is 'honored to present Barack Obama' with the award.
Obama responded that Kennedy was one of his heroes. 'Bobby Kennedy was one of my heroes,' Obama said, 'He was someone who showed us the power of acting on our ideals, the idea that any of us can be one of the 'million different centers of energy and daring' that ultimately combine to change the world for the better.'
Obama will officially be presented with the award by Ethel Kennedy in December at the organization’s annual gala. Obama infamously was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize just months into his presidency.
Obama faced criticism for multiple human rights abuses during his tenure as commander in chief. Obama was criticized harshly for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq and creating a vacuum that was filled by ISIS.
He has also been harshly condemned for his embrace of drone warfare. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Obama killed nearly 1,000 civilians in more than 500 drone strikes during his presidency.
'There were ten times more air strikes in the covert war on terror during President Barack Obama’s presidency than under his predecessor, George W. Bush,' the Bureau report states. 'Obama embraced the US drone programme, overseeing more strikes in his first year than Bush carried out during his entire presidency.
A total of 563 strikes, largely by drones, targeted Pakistan, Somalia and Yemen during Obama’s two terms, compared to 57 strikes under Bush. Between 384 and 807 civilians were killed in those countries, according to reports logged by the Bureau.'"
NOTE: For those snowflakes coming out of too many of America's "fake" universities, it was Senator Ted Kennedy who went behind the back of President Reagan's military policies against Russia. It was reported that the "honorable" senator's goal was to try to stop President Reagan from running for a second term, giving Kennedy an easy win if deciding to run on his own after a previously failed Carter presidency for the Democrats.
Ted Kennedy had obviously learned well from his father, who decades earlier was reported to have opposed war with the Third Reich.
However when in college, I voted for John F. Kennedy finding him a man of the people unlike his brother Ted. And his brother Bobby wanted to crush the corruption of union leaders. And finally there was the honorable Joe, Jr. who was killed in action in WWII reported to be flying a patrol bomber, Obama nothing like the heroes of those three brothers. - Webmaster
The Progressive Media Reported Today That Its Democrat Party Was Hopeful For The November 2018 Elections To Shut Down Trump's Success.
The question needs to be asked, why would any American voter want to go back to the Obama years where Obama said that there was no way jobs were coming back to this country. Watch video below where Obama openly says he has no clue to bring prosperity back to the shuttered manufacturing plants in middle America! - Webmaster
"A steel worker union official, [of all people watching Trump in 2018], asked President Barack Obama at a June 1 town hall in Elkhart, Indiana, about job losses at a plant run by Carrier, an air conditioning manufacturer that recently announced plans to move jobs from Indiana to Mexico. He replied that some jobs "are just not going to come back," while others are in flux or rebounding."- PBSNewsHour, June 1, 2016
Warning Posted On The Objective Of The Progressive Alinsky Democrat Party For 2019
I am the grandson of a man who left Sweden with his family in the early 1920's. He saw the coming tide of socialism to its shores. Looking at Sweden today, I'm glad I'm writing this from the U.S.
Of his three sons who came to Ellis Island, two died of an accident and polio before graduating from high school. The third was MIA on Okinawa in 1944, later found. I am his only son. I now have three sons in their 30's who have memorized this story.
TO THAT END I see the socialism my grandfather escaped now at America's shores through the party of Cloward & Piven, Saul Alinsky, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in that order.
President Obama pushed Cloward & Piven's motivation to OVERWHELM the welfare system and collapse the economy, wanting a government run by Czars. Obama was also trained by Alinsky's group in their power points to isolate, freeze and destroy the enemy, as we are discovering today from Obama's weaponizing our FBI.
And it was Obama who allowed ISIS to murder and rape while he instead blamed climate change for the world's problems. Obama in 2016 also said, (see above video), it WOULD BE impossible to bring those lost manufacturing jobs back to America!
OBAMA IS A DEMOCRAT, the party that wants to keep people on food stamps and to give the smallest of income to insure THEY WILL STAY OUT OF THE PARTY'S WAY in moving the country under the banner of no borders via the UN.
In other words, to Democrats in 2018, a strong America is an oxymoron to their mission of control . . . all deplorables in their way to be swept away! - Webmaster
