Obama to Give Medals to Two Right-Wing Politicians

Shocking his supporters, United States President Barack Obama announced yesterday that he would award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to George H.W. Bush, an ex-US President from the Republican Party.

This award is considered the highest civilian honor. Obama's announcement came a day after George W. Bush, ex-President and son of George H.W. Bush, said, “The decisions of governing are on another President’s desk, and he deserves to make them without criticism from me.” The last President said this at the groundbreaking of his library in Dallas.

Other Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients will include German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Warren Buffett.

“These outstanding honorees come from a broad range of backgrounds and they’ve excelled in a broad range of fields, but all of them have lived extraordinary lives that have inspired us, enriched our culture, and made our country and our world a better place. I look forward to awarding them this honor,” said Obama.

This is clearly an attempt by Obama to get on the good side of the Republicans. By awarding medals to George H.W. Bush and Angela Merkel, two conservatives, he has proven what The Partisan has been saying all along. The Democrats and Republicans represent the same group of people, the super-rich. Bourgeois unity and class interests, not working and middle class interests, will always come first on Barack Obama's agenda and this proves it.
