Chimpanzes love small flashing objects

Stroking his own ego, He thinks it'll help him sleep at night when he thinks about the thousands he's killed through his drone wars...

What am I kidding, he probably sleeps soundly.

Godfucking dammit its awarded by SecDef, not Obama

it's the "you did your best" medal

Obama told his SecDef to award this medal to him.

>implying he didn't just get his SecDef to pin the medal on his tit.

It was likely his idea my fellow Leaf, he's that full of himself.

Congratulation on being black president. He also won a noble piece prize for being a black man.

Progress??

isnt this what tinpot dictators do in 3rd world countries?

>yep

>t. autist who takes everything literally

Agreed

Last ditch attempt to have a tangible relic of having once served as president before legacy is erased. Sad!

Maybe Bush and Obama can talk together about the lives they've ruined while also comparing medals, both are fucking criminals and both should hang for their treason against the U.S and crimes against humanity.

kek

Couldn't agree more.

Ouch. This is painful, what with you being a leaf and all, but I agree. May you pile peacefully on the Day of the Leaf. You seem like a good one.

literally nothing

By the grace of God, I will blow away with the wind while the rest of leafs are raked and burned.

Not every Canadian is a Leaf, and Leafs exist in other nations as well. Will you be raked up as well or will God save you?

Thank you and bless you for your words.

presumably for being the first chimp to get into the white house

...

He's trying to collect awards to be remembered in a positive way by those that never knew him

If there's one thing we know for sure about Barack Obama it's that he doesn't have much control over his cabinet.

What was it for?

there should be statues made of him for killing Bin Laden

now this incoming dumbass wants to gut the CIA so we can get attacked again

of course none of idiots care about this Country, only your pathetic dying white majority

Obama's awesome show, great job!

i dunno but ill assume the medal is for him being a nigger and wasting white people money on irrelevant shit

Take it easy.

Kekd

>mostly false

The reasoning:
>ignoring the hyperbole
>but bush did it too
Fucking lmao what disgusting organizations these fact checkers are

For being black.

It's a Russian medal of awesomeness for secretly wrecking Hillary's presidential dream.

Do people honestly care more about nation states than race?

I could live in a superfederation, France or Canada for all I care, as long as it's whites only.

fpbp

For being half nigger

Reminds me of the glorious era of the Ceaucescus.

This isn't really true of Bush. Iraq turned into hell on Earth because al-Zarqawi went out of his way to make it that way. The US presence in Iraq was an excuse to wage war on its Shiite population as well as on secular rule in general, and his organization did everything it could to keep us there. There was no "resistance" or "uprising" among the local population. These people came from all over the region to wage holy jihad.

While the case for Iraq's possession of WMDs had been week and in some cases false, it is an undisputed fact that Iraq had a nuclear program in the 1990s, and that in the early 2000s they began to stall and interfere with IAEA inspections. This is not to be confused with UN inspectors charged with investigating other WMD activity, who were ordered out of the country by the US shortly before the 2003 invasion.

When you consider that Iraq's behavior was a hell of a lot more suspicious and alarming than anything suggested by satellite photos of supposed chemical weapons stockpiles; along with the fact that the sanctions placed upon the country since the Gulf War killed an order of magnitude more people than anyone serious claims died because of American actions since 2003 - I think it's pretty clear our mistake was not invading in the first place but leaving a power vacuum and then sticking around trying to it.

A more sensible plan might have been to hold Saddam Hussein at Guantanamo Bay, install his sons into power in Iraq, and eventually release him into a sort of figurehead position, perhaps with the condition that he was not to return to Iraq.

Remember also that these people really thought democracy could solve a lot of problems in the Arab world, and that for "brutal dictators" to suppress opposition and keep political prisoners was about as bad as things could get. They didn't understand that men like Hussein, Assad, and Qaddafi were responsible for keeping very powerful and dangerous elements in check.

fy and fuk (((snopes))).

Pretty much this. I'm still of the opinion that invasion in the first place was a mistake, but we made it infinitely worse by killing Saddam and installing democracy. It's incredibly apparent to even the most dimwitted observer that the Middle East doesn't do well with democracy. I don't know or care if it's racial, cultural, or something else, but they can't do anything with a democracy. Stable, secular authoritarian government is pretty clearly the only option, as it actually seems to transform Arab muslims into a fairly successful society, like pre-revolution Iran, Jordan, or Syria.

Have other presidents done this?

same medal

He fought in the Meme Wars, just on the losing side.

He is top nigger kang so he's to good for chains, enough said really.

I'm not entirely against the invasion but if we are going to play empire then lets play empire and not pussy foot around and half ass the thing.
