Jan Karski, an officer in the Polish underground who carried his eye-witness account of the Nazi Holocaust to the outside world.

obama again humiliated himself and the country while attempting to honor this brave man, accidentally claiming that the nazi concentration camps were 'polish death camps.' his handlers need greater vigilance.

A little, yet significant info on one of Pres. Obama's awardees:

Dolores Huerta, an 82-year-old labor activist and co-founder of the United Farm Workers union Huerta is also an honorary chair of the Democratic Socialists of America. DSA describes itself as “the largest socialist organization in the United States, and the principal U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.” Huerta has claimed, “Republicans hate Latinos,” and has spoken fondly of Hugo Chavez’s despotic regime in Venezuela.

This makes one wonder why she was selected. Was it because of her self-professed allegiance to Socialism?

Since Obama alone chooses the honorees, it makes sense he'd recognize Huerta, an avowed communist who believes in redistributing wealth even more than he does.

Of course, Mr Obama's favorite Dylan song may be Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.
