Even though he had only been in office for two weeks when he was nominated, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

A related article with some of the sordid history of the "peace" prize...

Glob-AL GORE-ming
The inconvenient truth about his Nobel Prize

Newbaum Turk


Al Gore recently won half of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, and I can't think of a more deserving recipient. He now joins an exalted group of true visionaries such as terrorist Yassir Arafat (Class of 1994) - one of the very few laureates directly responsible for the deaths of innocent women and children. Jimmy Carter (2002), a terror apologist and hater of all things Jewish, is surely delighted to welcome Al into the fold. Perhaps Kofi Annan (2001), the Secretary General who oversaw the U.N. during the largest monetary (oil-for-food) scandal in human history, could give Al a few tips on how to spend the prize money. Or Rigoberta Menchu (1992, who recently spoke here at Ohio State) could make up a new story on how her brother was killed by global warming in order to spread the word.

While I don't begrudge Gore's being awarded the prize (in the same way I don't begrudge his Oscar), I do question the wisdom of awarding the other half of the prize to the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee is comprised of five people: a professor of medicine, a professor of theology (and a member of the Socialist Left party), a director of cultural heritage, a political advisor, and a public affairs advisor. Imagine one of them saying during the selection process, "Perhaps we should evaluate the IPCC's scientific work before handing them the award." The resulting laughter would have knocked them out of their chairs.

I hear he won the Heismann Trophy and the Cy Young Award this morning as well...

Re: Jumpin' Jehosophat!   [Mark Steyn]

Jonah, as one of those "right-wing domestic terrorists" laughing his head off at Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, I was shocked at how badly off-message the DNC's Communications Director has wandered:

"The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists - the Taliban and Hamas this morning - in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse told POLITICO.

Didn't he get the memo? "Barack Obama: Taleban Can Be Involved In Afghanistan's Future."

Who is this Brad Woodhouse to compare America's new partners for peace to Republican terrorists? With this one tasteless remark, he risks damaging Obama's "extraordinary efforts" at "cooperation between peoples" that the Nobel committee rightly recognized.

Up next! More Nobel-friendly peace initiatives:

"Barack Obama: Putin Can Be Involved In Poland's Future."

"Barack Obama: Iranian Nuclear Program Can Be Involved In Israel's Future."

In other news, President Peace has the support of Code Pink to send more troops to Afghanistan...and yes, he still supports the greatest form of genocide in history.

Pro-Life Groups Condemn Awarding Pro-Abortion Obama Nobel Peace Prize
http://www.lifenews.com/int1349.html

Catholic League president Bill Donohue said the prize shows how abortion continues to haunt Obama.

"President Obama cannot have it both ways," Donohue told LifeNews.com. " Unlike another Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Mother Teresa, who said abortion was 'the greatest destroyer of peace,' Obama has never indicated that abortion undermines the cause of peace."

"Indeed, he champions abortion as if it were a sacred right. If he wants to pivot at this juncture, Catholics will welcome it. If he doesn't, he will have to live with the consequences," Donohue said.

Give Peace A Hand   [Mark Steyn]

I was planning on skipping the Nobel prize ceremony, but it may be livelier than anticipated, judging from this tidbit re the committee's head honcho Thorbjørn Jagland:

In 1998, Jagland was confronted with another incident, after placing his hands on Synnøve Svabø’s breasts on national television. Svabø was at that time talk show host for Weekend Globoid.

"Weekend globoid" sounds like Norwegian for "dilletante transnationalist".

Let's review..shall we? 

1) The whole 'birther' movement was started by Clinton opposition researchers
2) If Michelle 0bama calls him a 'Kenyan' does that mean we get to call him that too?

Is Michelle Obama a Birther?
Thomas Lifson

The question has to be asked, now that a second YouTube video has surfaced in which Michelle Obama refers to her husband as a Kenyan.

In a rather whiny harangue during a fundraiser in Tampa in December 2007, in which she discussed how hard it was for her and her husband to pay off student loans from "good schools," Michelle Obama said the following:

"What it reminded me of was our trip to Africa, two years ago, and the level of excitement that we felt in that country - the hope that people saw just in the sheer presence of somebody like Barack Obama - a Kenyan, a black man, a man of great statesmanship who they believe could change the fate of the world."

"Long before America was even an idea, this land of plenty was home to many peoples. The British and French, the Dutch and Spanish, to Mexicans, to countless Indian tribes. We all shared the same land," President Obama told the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Mexico declared its independence on September 16, 1810. It was recognized on September 27, 1821.

The United States of America declared its independence in 1776.

What's with the dates?

Americans were here before 1776. British, Dutch, the Swedish, Spanish etc long before 1776

The Mexicans long before 1776  --  Mexico City was founded in the 16th century

Mēxihco means "Place where Mēxihtli lives"

Obama got it exactly right.

I am so looking forward to the (idiot) shadow and idiot skeptic either

1) defending their votes for President Queeg or

2) apologizing for their part in electing the worst president in human history.

Which will win...their tremendously over-inflated sense of self or their tremendously over-rated intellect?

I am reminded of that classic line from that classic movie, Star Trek II:

"Khan...I am laughing at the "superior" intellect."
