The Profile in Courage Award is a private award given to recognize displays of courage similar to those John F. Kennedy described in his book Profiles in Courage. It is given to individuals (often elected officials) who, by acting in accord with their conscience, risked their careers or lives by pursuing a larger vision of the national, state or local interest in opposition to popular opinion or pressure from constituents or other local interests.

The winners of the award are selected by a bi-partisan committee named by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, which includes members of the Kennedy family and other prominent Americans. It is generally awarded each year around the time of Kennedy's birthday (May 29) at a ceremony at the Kennedy Library in Boston. The award is generally presented by Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy. Also before their deaths Senator Edward Kennedy, John F. Kennedy Jr., and former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Two recipients, John Lewis (in 2001) and William Winter (in 2008), were designated as honorees for Lifetime Achievement.

The winner is presented with a sterling silver lantern made by Tiffany's which was designed by Edwin Schlossberg. The lantern is patterned after the lanterns on USS Constitution, the last sail-powered ship to remain part of the US Navy, which is permanently moored nearby.

Courage for what? The "man" is a feminine pussy

 

[Sun Devil 92]

What a travesty.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

What a travesty.

Much like that BS Nobel he won

 

[Chuz Life]

Maybe it will be presented by a Navy Corpseman!

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Maybe it will be presented by a Navy Corpseman!

In the 57th state

 

[Kondor3]

Whatever for?

Rather like that Nobel Peace Prize he won.

I'm sure he deserved that one, too.

Given that he was inaugurated in late January 2009, and nominations closed in February 2009.

Giving him a whole 15-30 days during the earliest part of his Presidency, in which to really and truly earn that Prize.

What a load of LibTurd Fantasy Tomfoolery.

 

[Lakhota]

Whatever for?

Just keeping us afloat and safe in spite of an obstructionist NaziCon Congress should be enough.

 

[Chuz Life]

Maybe it will be presented by a Navy Corpseman!

In the 57th state

I might even buy a ticket and visit the 57th State myself... just to be there for such a Hystoric event, myself.

 

[S.J.]

Have they ever given it to a conservative?

 

[Lakhota]

Have they ever given it to a conservative?

For "courage"? Funny...

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Whatever for?

Just keeping us afloat and safe in spite of an obstructionist NaziCon Congress should be enough.

Now, that's funny.

There would have been no obstructionist congress if Obama hadn't screwed up in his first two years.

The house was supposed to stay democrat for 10 years (at the very least) after 2008.

Two years later....poooof. It's gone.

How about profile in arrogance or profile in stupidity.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Most such awards mean nothing, as they are essentially "in-club" awards. Think "The Annual Grand Poobah Award" of the Bedrock Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Have they ever given it to a conservative?

For "courage"? Funny...

Yes, we understand that courage to you means something beside having the fortitude to stand up for what's right.

 

[BlueGin]

Obama wouldn't know "courage" if it bit him in the ass.

 

[Sun Devil 92]

Watching a show on Gary Powers.....

Now, there's a profile in courage and class.

So when did Obama risk his career? If anyone deserves the award, it's Trump. He had to go through hell and an onslaught of abuse to win the Presidency. Obama had everyone in the press sucking his dick the whole way.

Of course not. The Kennedy family determines who receives it.
