What is one of Barack Obama's regrets from his time in office? Not awarding a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Dolly Parton. Parton has a legacy of charity work and recently donated $1 million to the team that developed a COVID-19 vaccine. Obama described his decision as "a mistake" to Stephen Colbert

He made a lot of mistakes and should have many regrets but this is a good one.

This is wild. "Barack and Michelle Obama will produce a comedy sketch series based on a book that described the chaos of the transition between the former president’s administration and the incoming Trump presidency."

Has an ex president ever done something like this before?

No word on all those drone attacks or failing to close Guantanamo.

He did talk about the drone attacks with Colbert, and his answer was awful. I know there was a clip floating on Twitter.

Yep. I can’t believe how much I didn’t realize back then.

Uh, I'm gonna go on record that the problem with the drone program is in fact the inordinate amount of civilian casualties https://t.co/tnkhXc7evT
