Barack Obama was a guest on The Late Show yesterday, and Stephen Colbert called him out on a mistake he made when he was President of the United States.
Did you know that national treasure Dolly Parton does not have a Presidential Medal of Freedom? The woman, who has secretly been making lives better for decades, does not have one of those little medals that would allow her to know that America thanks her for all she does for it.
Well, that is a travesty, and Colbert called out Obama on it. “That’s a mistake. I’m shocked,” the former President said. “That was a screwup…I assumed she already got one, and that was incorrect.”
What is he going to rectify his error? He is going to call President-elect Joe Biden and tell him to give the Country legend one. Now, more than ever, she deserves it. After all, she did secretly help fund one of the COVID-19 vaccines.
Dolly Parton is the closest thing we have to a Saint in America these days, and she needs to be recognized for all that she does. I am sure the incoming president will give her this honor. That is when he can because he is going to be cleaning up a huge mess for most of his first term.
