Obama Receives Ethics in Government Award
By Matt Margolis September 7, 2018

For years I’ve been warning about how the media, Hollywood, and academia have been aggressively trying to rewrite Obama’s abominable record in the White House. To hear them recall the Obama years, one can only conclude they believe Obama single-handedly saved this country from economic collapse, saved the planet from environmental calamity, and had a completely scandal-free administration. One might as well claim Obama cured cancer and saved us from an alien invasion—because they’re just as believable.

Today, we saw just how far academia is going to perpetuate the myth of Obama’s “scandal-free” administration when he was awarded the Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government by the University of Illinois. Not since the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize has Obama been so undeserving of an award. But, I submit that this award is even worse than the Nobel Peace Prize he didn’t deserve. In 2009, the Nobel committee was at least ignorant of what Obama’s record would turn out to be. There is simply no excuse in 2018 for Obama to be receiving an Ethics in Government award. The Nobel committee eventually realized their mistake. But, the Paul H. Douglas Award is now forever tainted.

What, exactly, did the committee at the University of Illinois think Obama did to earn an Ethics in Government award? The Obama years were plagued by scandal and defined by a hyper-partisan government.

Leftism is all about poking a finger in the opposition's eye.

You just have to learn to laugh.

This "prestigious" award given by a bunch of far leftists to another far leftist should be a caution sign to every sane  i.e. non-left person about the value of awards.  They're mostly worthless.
