Barack Hussein Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel peace prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee insists that the prize is not “politicized,” even in the wake of yesterday’s award, essentially for having the “potential” to be the most internationalist, anti-American, defeat-and-retreat president in history.
Comedy gold indeed. My first reaction was “you have got to be kidding me”. It was then quickly followed by a deep belly laugh I haven’t had in quite sometime. What a joke.
Barack Obama took office on January 20th of this year while candidates could be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize until……wait for it……February 1st. This means that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee gave this prize to Obama because of his wonderful first ten days in office.
In addition to this absurdity, democrats are saying if you aren’t excited about this then you obvioulsy support terrorists.
No really.
Comparing us to Hamas? You mean the same terrorist group who supported and endorsed Obama last year?
Dumbasses.
Can we maybe wait until he actually solves some problems before rushing to decorate him with Certificates of Participation and Badges of Effort? Is Barack Obama here to improve our lives, or we his? Barack Obama has done nothing to earn any of his accolades — his book deals, his law review editorship, his Senate seat, his presidency — except to simply exist.
Real unemployment is at 17%, he tripled the deficit to $1.4 trillion, we’re looking at decades of economic malaise and endless debt, Iran’s about to get the bomb, he continues to putz around on Afghanistan, a war he swore he’d win, he’s a hyperpartisan liberal who can’t get his own party to vote for his leftwing healthcare plan, etc, etc, etc.
Obama does not want voters thinking very hard about the question of “does this guy really know what the hell he is doing?”
With all that said, the prize in itself is a joke. It is the antithesis of the conservative principle of peace through strength. Eisenhower did not win for winning the war against totalitarian fascism and Naziism. Ronald Reagan did not win for winning the Cold war and liberating tens of millions from Communist tyranny(without a shot fired). And George W. Bush did not win it for removing two of the three most violent and repressive regimes and liberating 50 plus million people.
Yet, Jimmy Carter won the prize for preaching appeasement of evil and bullying beleaguered Israel into signing fraudulent “peace accords” with the Palestinians, who never had any intention of honoring them.
Algore wins the prize for being a fraudulent tree hugging bunny humper.
Yassar “shakes the clown” Arafat wins it for being a douchenozzle, oh, and a terrorist.
And now Barack H. Obama has won it for… well, to be perfectly blunt, for being the first black President of the United States. He certainly had accomplished nothing else when he was nominated for the prize, and arguably, he hasn’t done anything more since then to bring about actual peace anywhere. Militarily, he has continued the victorious Bush policy in Iraq and now advocates continuing the (an albeit arguably questionable) Bush strategy in Afghanistan. That is one hell of a peacemaker!
So let’s see, I wonder what other victories we can give Obama for doing absolutely nothing. How about MVP of the World Series and the Super Bowl. Or win an Oscar. Maybe named Homecoming King and Queen at several high schools and colleges across the country.
A few other prizes below the fold…
