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.

So... why has this honour been bestowed on so many undeserving people? let's take a look at some of the 'lovely' deserving recipients, starting with Tony Blair, then....
Margaret Thatcher
Alan greenspan- Banker
David rockefeller- Evil incarnate
Lawrence Rockefeller- Evil incarnate descendant

Read on and you will find many bankers on this list too, wonder what amazing feats they achieved in the way of contributing to the security of the US?
