President Obama [b][i][u]Awards Himself [/u][/i][/b] Distinguished Public Service Medal

On Wednesday, President Obama added another prestigious medal to his Nobel Prize collection when he had Defense Secretary Ash Carter award him with the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service.

Secretary Carter awarded his boss with the medal on January 4 during the Armed Forces Full Honor Farewell Review for the President held at Conmy Hall, Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Virginia.

Carter insisted that the medal was a token of appreciation for Obama’s service as commander in chief, the Associated Press reported.

[i][b]After spending the last few weeks throwing roadblocks in the path of President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team, Obama nonetheless claimed in his remarks to the members of the military in attendance that “We’ve got to make sure that during this transition period that there is a seamless passing of the baton, that there’s continuity.”[/b][/i]

Along with the AP, CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller also marked the ceremony with a Tweet to his followers.

Nice to see continue your flawless streak of pasting fake news from Breitbart and other fake news sites (this one is from Breitbart).

The President did not award himself the award. It was done by the Sec. Of Defense, and the same was done for his predecessors (Bush, Clinton). It's more of a gesture for a departing President, in appreciation for his role as Commander in Chief, while POTUS.
