Is it a sad day when all the libs can crow about is Obama giving out medals?

Libs are a sorry lot, aren't they..

Interesting that a week or so back, a bill that would have increased veteran's benefits and funding of veteran's hospitals had a hold put on it - essentially killing it - by a Republican congressman (who no doubt had a little US flag on his lapel, showing how much he loves America and supports the troops.)

No the saddest day was when republicans got together and decided to obstruct Obama at all costs! Including obstructing the economy of our nation for political gain!

Typical modern conservatism says put political gain before the best interest of the country and the citizens!

He's cheapened the award just like the Nobel Peace Prize.

Asking this question also takes no talent or skill, which you display beautifully..

It is indeed a sad day when cons find something to whine about when our commander in chief hands out much deserved awards to our bravest, who risked their lives for our country. Not to mention praising "America's enemy" Putin.

Actually, we can "crow" about a great number of things. It is satisfying, however, to see our President honoring our outstanding citizens. National Pride can be a good thing.

Not only is he NOT a “disappointment,” he’s pretty much the opposite. And no, I don’t just say that because he took out Osama bin Laden, helped Libya determine their own destiny for the first time in a while, and because he seems able to handle international incidents without starting a new war. The guy does nearly everything we elect a president to do, and he doesn’t brag about it constantly.

Fiscal Responsibility.

Within days after taking office, Obama signed an Executive Order ordering an audit of government contracts, and combating waste and abuse. http://1.usa.gov/dUvbu5

Created the post of Chief Performance Officer, whose job it is to make operations more efficient to save the federal government money. http://n.pr/hcgBn1

On his first full day, he froze White House salaries. http://on.msnbc.com/ewJUIx

He appointed the first Federal Chief Information Officer to oversee federal IT spending. http://www.cio.gov/

He committed to phasing out unnecessary and outdated weapons systems, and also signed the Weapons Systems Acquisition Reform Act to stop waste, fraud and abuse in the defense procurement and contracting system. http://bit.ly/hOw1t1 http://bit.ly/fz8GAd

Improving the Economy, Preventing Depression.

Obama pushed through and signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, otherwise known as “the stimulus package,” despite the fact that not one Republican voted for that bill. In addition, he launched recovery.gov, so that taxpayers could track spending from the Act. http://1.usa.gov/ibiFSs http://1.usa.gov/e3BJMk

So you hate our Veterans? and you probably call yourself a "Patriot" right?

all that glitters is not gold
