Obama Gets New Peace Prize -‘Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope’

DC: Former President Barack Obama has received another peace prize.

The former president was named a Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope laureate Monday. The award honors those who “work toward a more just and peaceful world.” The RFK nonprofit tweeted that it is “honored to present Barack Obama” with the award.

Obama responded that Kennedy was one of his heroes. “Bobby Kennedy was one of my heroes,” Obama said, “He was someone who showed us the power of acting on our ideals, the idea that any of us can be one of the “million different centers of energy and daring” that ultimately combine to change the world for the better.”

Obama will officially be presented with the award by Ethel Kennedy in December at the organization’s annual gala. Obama infamously was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize just months into his presidency. Obama faced criticism for multiple human rights abuses during his tenure as commander in chief. Obama was criticized harshly for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq and creating a vacuum that was filled by ISIS. He has also been harshly condemned for his embrace of drone warfare. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, Obama killed nearly 1,000 civilians in more than 500 drone strikes during his presidency.  more here

  3. Unless the Ripple of Hope Award is actually a bottle of Ripple I can’t imagine anyone giving a damn for it. Except of course obama. He will continue to collect meaningless awards till the cows come home, all the while telling everyone how great he, I, me, is.

  14. Somebody give Killary some type of award so she can STFU and go away.
    A bobble head in her likeness. Pull the string and it squeeks “We came, we saw, he died, ha,ha,ha, ho,ho,ho, hee, hee, hee.”
    That’s when she killed Quadafi, destroyed Libya, and set up Benghazi.
    Bitch should be in jail.
    Oops, moe tom.

  16. I think that miniature copies of this “ Ripple of Racist Indifference” should be sent to the millions of White South Africans who are going to be slaughtered and dispossessed in the country that Omandela thinks is making such great strides in improving the lives of his people.
