Ryan asked the President if he would revoke Bill Cosby’s Medal of Freedom that was awarded to him from President Bush in 2002. “We don’t have the mechanism”.
“I am very glad that the president chose to address this important issue, rather than avoiding it. His statement about drugging and sexual assault was clear and powerful”, Ms. Allred told The Times.
“Well, I think I could take it away”, he said in the radio interview.

Camille Cosby has caught plenty of her own press over the months since the drugging and rape allegations against her husband Bill Cosby surfaced.
Whoopi Goldberg, a co-host of The View, had previously said Cosby was “innocent until proven guilty”. Cosby has denied the accusations. Giving a person drugs and then waiting until the drugs take effect and having sex with them when they are unable to give consent is rape.
Though Obama said he did not have the ability to revoke the medal, he did speak out against rape at the press conference.
Coming to grips with the allegations has been hard for Phillips, who once considered Cosby his idol. But after hearing the woman’s story, a woman he knew and would not have anything to gain by revealing it, he said he believes her.

If many people hold a popular opinion (i.e., Bill Cosby Is a Rapist), to write a counter-opinion piece (i.e. Is Bill Cosby Really a Rapist?) is bound to get you page clicks.
“Did you ever give any of those young women the Quaaludes without their knowledge?” the attorney continued. She said doing so would be doing America, especially the youth, a big favor, since it would put it out there that rape is truly wrong and would also clarify what constitutes rape.
