Quote:
The Presidential Medal of Freedom is a decoration bestowed by the President of the United States and is – along with the equivalent Congressional Gold Medal bestowed by an act of U.S. Congress – the highest civilian award in the U.S. It recognizes those individuals who have made "an especially meritorious contribution to the security or national interests of the United States, world peace, cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." The award is not limited to U.S. citizens and, while it is a civilian award, it can also be awarded to military personnel and worn on the uniform.
I nominate this man:

Ron Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

...because no matter what you think of his politics he has refused to bend to the will of corporate special interests for over a quarter of a century.

I can't think of another politician who can boast such a claim!

I'm surprised Mr. Obama hasn't given it to himself yet.... maybe tonight in his Oval Office Speech.
