I wonder if the same people who are petitioning to revoke Bill Cosby's medal are also indignant and adament that President Obama should return his Nobel "Peace Prize" medal?
I don't condone what Bill Cosby did at all, 'just pointing out how people can be lemmings and follow anything that is trending in the name of Political Correctness.
What do they have in common? They're both black? Obama should have rejected the peace prize from the start, since that would be the presidential thing to do, but his narcissism is far too strong to allow himself to do something like that (which we all found out over the ensuing years, sadly..)

When's the last time somebody turned down the Nobel Peace Prize when offered?

He should have said, "Thank you, and I'm honored to be selected as the recipient of this prize. That said... now let me be clear... I was only in office for nine days when that decision was handed down. I really haven't done anything to deserve this yet, but I'll try my best." And then he should have returned it.
The prize is a joke anyway, but at least there's an argument that can be made for why other controversial figures have won the award. But a man who has sat in office for nine days? That is beyond absurd.
