“前总统巴拉克奥巴马意识到他在任职期间向乡村音乐传奇人物多莉帕顿致敬. 在参加“晚间秀”时,” Obama admitted to host Stephen Colbert that he should have honored Parton with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, according to a clip of the interview released early Tuesday morning. After Colbert asked why the 74-year-old music icon had yet to receive the medal throughout her five-decade career, Obama quickly acknowledged that that was a “mistake.” He said not personally honoring Parton with the medal was a “screw-up” and that he likely assumed at the time that she had already been awarded one. During his time in office, Obama bestowed the medal on a number of recipients, including physicist and philosopher Stephen Hawking, author and poet Maya Angelou, author Toni Morrison, 它的. Edward Kennedy, singer Gloria Estefan and actor Robert De Niro. The medal is considered the nation’s “highest civilian honor,” given to individuals “who have made especially meritorious contributions to the security or national interests of the United States, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors.” While he missed his opportunity to honor Parton, Obama did quickly offer Colbert a possible way he can remedy his mistake: “I’ll call Biden.” .@BarackObama admits he made a mistake by never giving @DollyParton the Presidential Medal of Freedom. #LSSC pic.twitter.com/QyCX0KPu5l— A Late Show (@colbertlateshow) 十二月 1, 2020 Parton, 同时, has been keeping busy with a lot of new projects.
