    this award is for civilians who have accomplished something in life the POTUS likes.

    Before Rush there weren't many conservatives/opinions on the air. He opened that up for more conservatives to get on the air with opinions.

    While I don’t disagree with these statements in general I’m still wondering if this is all Rush Limbaugh has that merits a medal of freedom? Just seems to me the criteria should be a bit higher. I just hope the next Democrat that is elected to the Presidency doesn’t award a medal of freedom to Rachel Maddow or Stephen Colbert. That would suck. To me this was a mis step by the president. Other than that I think he gave a good SOTU speech. Maybe I’m wrong but it seems to open the door for that type of stuff.

    Should Joe Biden have gotten it? Barry handed em out like candy.

    There is a reason Wikiwhateverthefuckisayitis credibility is less than stellar.

    The following House members said they would skip:

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
    Ayanna Pressley
    Maxine Waters
    Al Green
    Bennie Thompson
    Bobby Rush
    Steve Cohen
    Earl Blumenauer
    Hank Johnson
    Frederica Wilson

    In addition Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were in NH.
    AOC was there, either that or it was her look alike, I saw her.

    ... I’m still wondering if this is all Rush Limbaugh has that merits a medal of freedom? Just seems to me the criteria should be a bit higher. ...

    Details here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/medaloffreedom/

    Here’s the criteria:

    For especially meritorious contribution to
    (1) the security or national interests of the United States, or
    (2) world peace, or
    (3) cultural or other significant public or private endeavors".

    Despite what some say, it’s not the civil equivalent of a Medal of Honor.

    I thought that the bar should have been set a bit higher when obama gave Tiger Woods and oprah winfrey the Medal Of Freedom.
