In the category of "it can't get any worse than this" Michelle Obama and newly-minted Secretary of State John Kerry are set to give the Department of State's "International Women of Courage Award" to Samira Ibrahim.

Ibrahim is outspoken in her support for the Palestinian cause, and as FrontPage Magazine reports, had this to say about Jews and the United States:

Following the death of five Israelis and a Bulgarian bus driver in a suicide bomb attack last year, she tweeted, "An explosion on a bus carrying Israelis in Burgas airport in Bulgaria on the Black Sea. Today is a very sweet day with a lot of very sweet news."

Regarding 9-11 she tweeted, “Today is the anniversary of 9/11. May every year come with America burning.”

Are Kerry and Obama really that stupid?
