Obama Wins

[Bcosniper]

Didn't Carter win it as well?

Geez, now all we need is a botched Spec Ops mission in Iran & a rabbit attack.

The only sitting Presidents to win were Roosevelt and Wilson.

And like the Roosevelt and Wilson, Obama is a hardcore progressive. I find the similarities more than a coincidence. All 3 of them were/are trying to put the government in control of more and more of the private sector. I think if Norway loves him so much, they can have him. I will even pay for the one way plane ticket myself.

One of the talking heads on Fox News said that Obama winning the Peace Prize is like giving a Hollywood Director an Oscar for a movie he might make someday.

I thought it was a pretty good analogy.

The Nobel peace prize it would appear is no longer controlled by the Norwegians and the Nobel committee. I suppose the decision making process is done elsewhere and faxed to them. It would also seem that you don’t have to do anything to win other than have high expectations. This has become another one of those prizes that other than the $$$ you’d think a Crackerjack prize is worth more.

Carter in fact did something with the Israelis and Egyptians. Then they shot Anwar Sadat.

The rest since then….?

I just read that Obama has won the 2010 Heisman Trophy...he watched half of an NCAA Football game, but does plan on watching some more...so he was the most likely candidate to win this year.

Uh… Which Peace was that Nobel Prize For?
By LTC. Carolyn Abell, US Army, Retired

Well, now, doesn’t the prospect of world peace resulting from the many peaceful efforts of our peace-loving, Nobel prize-winning President just give you a warm glow all over?

Seriously, do you suppose the Nobel peace prize committee lives on a different planet? How on God’s green earth can they declare that Barack Obama has been instrumental in the furtherance of world peace? Someone should establish a committee to nominate the world’s biggest fools, and start by honoring the Nobel crew.

They could sit in company with that famous trio of peace-loving Nobel-winning morons from the United States – Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and now the charismatic Barack Obama—otherwise known as the axis of appeasement.

With Iran’s jihad-driven Ahmadinejad blatantly threatening to launch a nuclear holocaust, while Obama flaunts his charisma toward the Olympic committee (unsuccessfully) and hams it up on Saturday Night Live, anyone with the brains of a parsnip must wonder how he has contributed to world peace. As Ahmadinejad’s arsenal grows, so does his alliance with Russia, Iran’s primary source of arms and equipment for mass destruction. And now Sean Penn’s buddy, Hugo Chavez, is negotiating with Iran to help him acquire nukes for Venezuela, so he can add to the threat against “the Big Satan.” (That’s jihadist code language for the good old U.S.A.)

Meanwhile, Nobel-winning, peace-loving Obama still believes his charms will result in worldwide nuclear disarmament. Proudly toting his new prize, he’s happily humming that old John Lennon tune, “Give Peace a Chance.”

People blessed with common sense and better acquainted with signs of unpeace, are cancelling trips to Israel next year because of indications that, unlike Obama, Benjamin Netanyahu recognizes the enemy and is preparing to defend that nation’s existence.

American and allied soldiers and Marines are dying in Afghanistan because the peace-loving, hubristic Obama believes he is smarter and knows more about wartime strategy than the four-star generals who have spent the better part of their lives preparing for, training for, and participating in war. Rules of engagement devised and imposed by peace-loving liberals who have never worn a uniform or even visited a battlefield, are insuring that our courageous warriors are sitting ducks for the Taliban, who are guided by no rules other than to win at any cost.

How many presidents in the past half century have had over a million people marching in protest in front of the nation’s capital, to demonstrate their discontent with a leader who is out of touch with the rest of the country? Perhaps the fact that this 9/12 demonstration was such a clean and peaceful pro test convinced the Nobel committee that only Obama’s peace-loving charisma kept them from rioting.

With eschatologists like Joel Rosenberg giving frequent warnings about threats to Israel from every side, and our own peace-loving Obama’s unsupportive and condescending attitude toward that country, it seems more and more credible that a world catastrophe of cataclysmic proportions could occur before long. I know people who are already stockpiling food for such an event.

When the nuclear missiles start flying toward this country, I guess the peace-loving Nobel winners will be huddled in a bunker somewhere, clutching their prizes, and shaking their heads in bewilderment.

Just for the record, if I could have nominated a Nobel peace prize recipient, it would have been General David Petraus. He understood what Aristotle said more than two thousand years ago, “We make war that we may live in peace.”
