President Barack Obama today surprised Vice President Joe Biden with the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom with Distinction. Other recent recipients of Medals of Freedom with Distinction: Pope John Paul II, President Ronald Reagan, and Gen. Colin Powell.
Job well done, Mr. Vice President. Your years of service and dedication to the nation are well known and much appreciated.
(Now if only you and the President would stop making me cry. I’m running out of tissues.)
Two very good men.Too hard to replace.
And now from what, to what? On reflection, the sublime to who knows what?
Ridiculous seems inadequate.
Events this week have made the coming transition all the more difficult to contemplate. Frankly it makes me a bit sick to my stomach.
I don’t envy you one little bit. It’s hard to believe that the USA has sunk to such depths
Please don’t indict the entire country. More than half of us had nothing to do with what’s about to happen and did our best to stop it.
I know, understand and sympathize PT, pity the members of the so called ‘Electoral College’ did not have the courage that the US is proud of. they were in a position to right the situation but were lacking in the intestinal fortitude required. The shame falls squarely on their weak shoulders!
I’ll admit I have a tough time imaging a situation better suited for an Electoral College intervention.
