Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: The Last Thing He Needs

The last thing Barack Obama needed at this moment in his presidency and our politics is a prize for a promise.

By now there are surely more callouses on his lips than his hands.  :lmao:

But even his fans know that none of the dreams have yet come true, and a prize for even dreaming them can feed the illusion that they have.

There comes a time when a President needs to take a real risk — and putting his prestige on the line to win the Olympics for his home town does not remotely count.

Interesting. And this is the magazine rag that worships Lord Zero.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value.

Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize: He’s Becoming Jimmy Carter Faster Than Jimmy Carter Did.

I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news. There is no way Barack Obama earned it in the nominations period.

Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize.

The deadline for nominations was two weeks after he was sworn in as President.

So in less than two weeks of entering office, Obama did something to qualify. What was it? Not closing Gitmo? Continuing the Bush administration’s policies in the War on Terror but no longer using the name? Or pronouncing a policy of abject American capitulation to our enemies?

The Peace Prize reaffirms it s a joke. But now a sad joke.

Somewhere Bill Clinton’s head just exploded.
Redstate

I want to know what morons nominated him . I'm betting someone did it as soon as the elections were over. They didn't need to see any deeds performed, merely hear his his rhetoric.

He did not "win" anything.

They nominated him on his 12th day in office, apparently. Tell me what he had done by his 12th day in office to deserve a "Peace" prize??

He has a long way to go before he reaches the milestone set by Yassir Arafat.

I have thought that ever since his "epic" acceptance last year....reminds me of a particular scene...


Big OUCH on the TIME article.  Especially liked the line "callouses on the lips"....that could certainly be taken a couple of different ways....neither are remotely complimentary....

Barack Obama did not WIN a Nobel.... WIN implies some kind of effort.

He has a ways to go to amass the body count of Yasser Arafat in order to really deserve a PEACE PRIZE
