Yeah, he's largely done the same things that the guy before him did, you know the one you didn't complain about at all.
Can you guys try putting away the emotion at some point and post like mature adults.
The woman did a lot of social activism in her time and was recognized by a lot of non-political organizations for her work. Somehow I doubt any of you bothered to read about her since you typically just do baseless whining about anything associated with Obama.
Such commie institutions as Ms. Magazine, Ladies Home Journal, Princeton and UCLA. I'm not sure what you all are crying about here.
"
In 1997, Huerta was named one of the three most important women of the year by Ms. Magazine.[9]
Huerta was an inaugural recipient of the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Human Rights from President Bill Clinton in 1998. That same year, Ladies' Home Journal recognized her as one of the 100 Most Important Women of the 20th Century, along with such women leaders as Mother Teresa, Margaret Thatcher, Rosa Parks, and Indira Gandhi.[10]
In 2002, Huerta was awarded the Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship.[11]
On September 30, 2005, she became an honorary sister of Kappa Delta Chi sorority (Alpha Alpha chapter - Wichita State University)[12].
In May 2006, in recognition of her numerous achievements, Huerta received an honorary degree from Princeton University. She was lauded in the ceremony: "Through her insatiable hunger of justice —La Causa— and her tireless advocacy, she has devoted her life to creative, compassionate, and committed citizenship".
Huerta was co-recipient (along with Virgilio Elizondo) of the 2007 Community of Christ International Peace Award .[13]
On May 18, 2007, she announced her endorsement of Hillary Clinton for president[14], and at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, Huerta formally placed Clinton's name into nomination.[15]
In December 2008, Huerta was recognized by United Neighborhood Centers of America with its highest individual honor, the Jane Addams Distinguished Leadership Award at its National Policy Summit in Washington, DC.
On June 12, 2009, Huerta was awarded the UCLA Medal, UCLA's highest honor, during the UCLA College of Letters and Science commencement ceremony.[16]
She is one of the subjects of Sylvia Morales' 2009 film, A CRUSHING LOVE, the sequel to 1979's CHICANA.
In October 2010, Huerta was awarded an honorary degree by Mills College, who lauded her as "a lifetime champion of social justice whose courageous leadership garnered unprecedented national support from farmworkers, women, and underserved communities in a landmark quest for human and civil rights."[17]
On 29 May 2012, Huerta received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama.[18]
Dolores Huerta is an Honorary Chair of Democratic Socialists of America[19] and currently serves on the Board of Directors of Equality California.[20]
Four elementary schools in California; one school in Fort Worth, Texas; and a high school in Pueblo, Colorado, are named after Dolores Huerta.[21] One of the student centers at Pitzer College, in Claremont, California, is named the Huerta Learning Circle Room in the labor leader's honor."
A quick scan of the organizations seem to show they are far left organizations. What's your point?
The commies are coming out of the woodwork led by their orator now.
"President Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Tuesday to 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. "
The biggest crime that Ms Huerta has done is to openly support illegal aliens. Cesar Chavez must be spinning in his grave, knowing that his comadre is antagonizing the farm workers union by supporting cheap labor from other countries.
For all you folks who may have been misled by the world's greatest propaganda ministry, and 79 years of "Glorious Socialism", here's a brief snippet:
From the Communist manifesto:
"In this sense, the theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property."
....
PRIVATE PROPERTY - "As protected from being taken for public uses, is such property as belongs absolutely to an individual, and of which he has the exclusive right of disposition. Property of a specific, fixed and tangible nature, capable of being in possession and transmitted to another, such as houses, lands, and chattels."
- - - Black's Law dictionary, sixth ed., p.1217
If you notice that no one "absolutely owns" anything anymore, and that government can "arrest" your property, land, house, car, and even "cash", then you know "the rest of the story".
Welcome to the People's Democratic Socialist Republic of America, sans that pesky charter of negative liberties. Where everything is mandatory, licensed or forbidden if not already taxed, regulated and restricted.
I've had the pleasure and honor of working with Ms. Huerta ... many years ago. She's one of many American hero's. It takes many different types of people to make this a great nation, and she's one who has contributed importantly. Congratulations to President Obama for bestowing the recognition.
Please google the difference between socialism and communism, pretty please.
Or read a freaking book.
Oh please. As has been said before, the only difference between socialism and communism is an AK47 to the head. Or as Lenin liked to say, "Communism is Socialism in a hurry."

I don't think that many progressives understand that part about socialism in a hurry. They sure don't really know the difference.
There is a reason the US became a world power in such a short time and it aint because a bunch of commies were running the ship. They have been trying for a long time though that's for sure.
