From Obama to Omaha

The President's Medal of Freedom  
Goes to Buffett, whose riches precede 'im;
He's the one of his kind
Who does not seem to mind
Being taxed ("I've got bucks and don't need 'em.")   
US President Barack Obama has awarded this year's Presidential Medal of Freedom to fifteen honorees including longtime supporter Warren Buffett, who backs his bid to let the Bush tax cuts expire for the highest income Americans.  Other recipients include George H.W. Bush, the father of that eponymous tax cutter; and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
