WASHINGTON — President Obama’s decision to bestow one of the nation’s highest honors on Mary Robinson, the first woman to serve as Ireland’s president, has touched off protests by Jewish groups and lawmakers, who claim she has shown a persistent anti-Israel bias in her work as a human rights advocate.

Mr. Obama plans to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, to Mrs. Robinson and 15 others at a ceremony next week at the White House.

Why do they expect to be the center of everybody's world?   No other oppressed race or nation has ever been so demanding and self-righteous. Funny how GWB's stupid choices was just fine with these groups!
