Who, other than a cretin posing as president of the United States would think to give himself a medal...for service to the United States. Apparently, the worst president in US history thinks he deserves a medal for corrupting every agency in the Executive Branch and waging war against the people of his own country.

Obama grotesquely had himself awarded a Defense Dept. medal yesterday
Thomas Lifson

President Obama has another ironic award for his trophy shelf, to accompany his Nobel Peace Prize and all those participation trophies he got at Punahou for his basketball skills.

His appointee and subordinate Ash Carter yesterday pinned a military medal – the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service – on his boss, as Warner Todd Huston reported for Breitbart.

The ceremony took place at Joint Base Myers-Henderson, before a crowd that had an awful lot of empty seats, almost as if the military service members who attended were there on orders."

I am sorry, but this stinks of a tin-pot dictatorship.

"Previous recipients of the medal include former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, Steven Spielberg, and Henry Kissinger.

Despite Breitbart's statements that commenters were "incredulous at the award," likened it to "a much maligned 'participation medal'" and "were skeptical of Obama’s underling giving his own boss a medal," no similar comments seem to have been noted by Breitbart when President George W. Bush received the very same medal in January 2009, nor did we find any record that Breitbart (or any other source) published a "President Bush Awards Himself Distinguished Public Service Medal" article upon that occasion."

In the Marxist Messiah, Obama's case, it's nothing more than a participation award. He showed up. About 150 million Americans wish he hadn't and can't wait to see the last of him.
