"President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to 24 veterans Tuesday, most of whom were initially passed over because they were Hispanic, Jewish or African American.
The emotional ceremony marked the culmination of a 50-year campaign waged by Mitchel Libman, a Korean War veteran who was convinced his childhood friend from Brooklyn was denied the nation’s highest commendation for combat valor because he was Jewish."

Thanks for doing the right thing, Mr. President.

This is common and long running behavior among obsessed and deranged rightwing hacks.
The same brainwashed buffoons that believe every soldier returning from combat since the 1960s is routinely spat upon by all Democrats.

Have a great day!

Sorry Dave the facts state otherwise and has nothing to do with hate. The Op is insinuating that it's Obama's doing that these vets received the Metal of Honer. When in fact it was Bush 12 years ago who started the wheels in motion.
