Biden awards NATO chief U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom

I am sure Libyans and whose country is still a mess after 14 years will be very happy to hear that the NATO chief had been awarded a Medal of Freedom.

I am sure NATO deserves a Medal of Freedom for leaving Libya as a failed state.

Who will be given the Medal of Freedom next to? Netanyahu?
This is another cringe moment for Biden.

A NATO chief getting a Freedom Medal is like Obama getting a peace prize.

Somebody should snatch that medal and flush it down the toilet.

And he read the instructions on the teleprompter, but was drown out by audience applause.

President Joe Biden avoided a near disastrous slip-up during his welcome speech to NATO leaders on Tuesday as the eyes of the world watched him to judge his fitness to serve four more years in the White House.

The president, visibly reading from the teleprompter, read a three-word instruction to himself as he awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg - but was saved from utter embarrassment by the audience applause.

'Ask the military aide,' Biden said while preparing to award Stoltenberg the nation's highest civilian honor.

Biden then quickly caught himself, while the crowd drowned up the flub with cheers.

'Military come forward,' he said. He proceeded to award the medal, hanging it around Stoltenberg's neck, without incident.
