obama wins nobel peace prize for wanting world peace

Yep, we are all participating in theater of the absurd.

As one of this site’s few resident Obama fans, let me enjoy a rare moment of agreeing with all my dear friends here.

Awarding Obama the Peace Prize at this dawning stage of his presidency is utterly ridiculous; we can only say “Oh, those wacky Europeans” and hope that Obama’s achievements during his time in office eventually live up to this award.

Very funny diary, too. Aspirational choices, all.

That’s a stunning and very telling revision from the folks at MSNBC. Is that for real? Because if real it’s a prime example at how the press is no more than a propaganda machine.

Loved your examples, AGI. Made me laugh although this “award” is a sad, sorry chapter in confusing the meaning of things. In this case, “accomplishment” with empty promises, eloquent words to actual deeds, true from false.

Brilliant posting, AGI. Brilliant comment, Diana L.C.

The Miss America contestant connection occurred to me and I commented on the previous thread! LOL!

It’s so stupidly sad and funny and insane all at the same friggin’ time, I don’t really know what to do other than joke. Otherwise I’ll cray and never be able to stop!

“reducing the world stock of nuclear arms” ???

Yeah, Obama will reduce OUR “stock of nuclear arms” but call me when he gets the world’s bad characters to reduce their “stock of nuclear arms.”

I can appreciate the humor and irony AGI, completely.
I think the staff at Websters better start now on the new definition of “role model”.

Astonishing. Those wacky Europeans!

For the record, and speaking as one of this site’s rare Obama supporters, I think this award is ridiculous. One of the people on my political thread at work points out that nominations for the award were due right around the time that Obama was elected. This award is an embarrassment, not for Obama or Democrats or progressives, but for the Nobel committee. I can only hope that our president lives up to the award’s ideals by the time his term of office is over.

Infanticide = Nobel Peace Prize

WTF

Busy bee Sara has been all day working on this post, you can just tell. Sort of like Lord Windershmere and Boomer gripping the farting post and grimacing to vent forth their point winning freeps and flutters. It’s tough being a PUMA.

Haha! I predicted Obama was going to win the Nobel Prize last year, but you guys pooh pooh’d the thought. I have to admit, I thought he was going to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for his two much lauded literary works.

Please email and express your disdain:

I am glad in the sense that this is the only way that the young generation of today will be able to reason to themselves and others those things that attempt against their freedom and their liberty. It is news like this one that ultimately affect the dialogue and conversation of most if not all students in our country and throughout the world. Actions such as the intervention in history that the Nobel Prize committee is perpetrating is what will change the minds and enlighten the young generation to vigilance and protection of their individual rights as persons and against people trying to take them away from them. This is a great day of exposure of the Obama travesty and the travesty the Left is perpetrating on everyone.

Bill Ayers has admitted to writing “Dreams of My Father”.

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2009/10/07/well-this-is-certainly-interesting/

Bummer, I really thought Coca-Cola had it in the bag.

I would have voted for the Baby because it offered us the best example of dogged determination and concrete accomplishment.

This circumstance reminds me of the TLC show
Toddlers and Tiaras where every contestant wins a trophy for something:

http://tlc.discovery.com/videos/toddlers-tiaras-pageant-parenting-season-2/

I read the original article on this and there was a line where Ayers said if it could be proven he would split the royalties. The Library of Congress shows Obama as the author; so it would be difficult to prove unless someone has the contract regarding how the authorship played out, per royalties/publication rights.

FF, we’re all so glad you think the Nobel Peace prize being awarded to non-accomplishment is such a victory.

Pretty much proves how empty you Obamatrons are. But please keep the spin up and you might be able to convince yourself that the overlooked nominees were of lesser value to the Obamathon. Here’s two for you think ponder:

“Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence.”

and,

Sima Samar, women’s rights activist in Afghanistan: “With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women’s Affairs.”

That should make you feel shame, not joy.

I assume he has already been named Time Magazine’s ……….
MAN OF THE YEAR…so I guess I can just shoot myself now and not miss anything!

In the picture of Thee One on top of the page: to whom is he waving up in the sky? His Father Whom Art in Heaven? Now we know the Prince of Peace has finally arrived; it’s about time!

But I have to say, Miss World Russia 2008 must have been a close contender; I love the way she slinks across the stage like Jessica Rabbit–and I’ll even forgive all that eye makeup; I’m just so grateful she wants to help people.

And Abba! What wonderful schlock! In short–this is an absolutely hilarious gallery of pop silliness, American Girl. Thanks!

He won’t…

I’d bet even Obama didn’t want this right now. It emboldens his critics for sure, but certainly raises the bar for what he must work to achieve as well.

amazing, just amazing, but then a lot of things have become very suspicious in the way they are playing out.
In a way it kind of goes along with the thought police if you think it, you must be guilty or in the case of Obama his empty words are proof enough!

I guess I am becoming a real conspiracy thinking person, maybe this is to undermine anything that may be done in Afgansitan because we know how some people’s decisions are swaying in the wind of the person who whispers in his ear last.

Somehow rosa, that doesn’t sound so conspiracy-like anymore.

Is it too much to hope that this last piece of hyperbole will be the tipping point, and that people of sound and disposing mind will confront the reality that this whole thing is smoke and mirrors, and as Gertrude Stein famously said about Oakland, when it comes to Mr. Obama there is no there there? If not, then this country is headed for disaster. This is the real world, the world of cause and effect, the world of consequences. Hot air and gut wind will not do it.

I hear the Vatican has already started the Beautification process.

I’m beginning to think anyone with power is dishonest. Who knows the real reason Mr. O won the prize. I’m losing any faith I had left in this world. My eyes are moving to the heavens 100% at this point. Anything down here seems to be one big illusion.

I also heard he has been declared the winner of Dancing with the Stars and he will be the next American Idol.

It’s clear to me that the Nobel committee wanted to prove they’re not racists. There is simply no other explanation.

Is it too much to hope that this last piece of hyperbole will be the tipping point?

Yes. It is too much to hope. Now that we see that major awards honoring accomplishment no longer require any actual accomplishments, we can look forward to the day when Thee One presents himself with the ultimate award: The Congressional Medal of Honor.

How solemn and dignified he will look as he somberly presents himself with the medal. I get teary-eyed just thinking about it.

The Nobel Committee has been a joke ever since they gave Yasser Arafat a Peace Prize.

But in Obama’s case the committee meant to give Obama the Nobel Appeaser Prize.

Huffington Post has a “Does he deserve it” poll if you want to venture there. Considering that they are so pro-Obama, it’s not a runaway.

Also, MSNBC’s Morning Joe gang were not particularly thrilled with the Obama Win:

“The upside is the Nobel Prize committee that has had suspect selections in the past has just befuddled a lot of people across the world,” said host Joe Scarborough.

“I predict right now that he will find a way to basically turn it down,” Time’s Mark Halperin added . “I think he is going to say, I share this with the world or whatever. I don’t think he’ll embrace this. Because there is no upside.”

“The damage is done,” Brzezinski responded.

As a matter of fact, I am thinking he may have already been nominated for an Oscar, in the “Best Actor” category for playing the role of a president

OOps never mind-Totus should get the award.

RULE SIX
SPECIAL RULES FOR THE ACTING AWARDS

A performance by an actor or actress in any role shall be eligible for nomination either for the leading
role or supporting role categories. If, however, all the dialogue has been dubbed by another actor,
the performance shall not be eligible for award consideration..

oy gevalt, wow oowawa, I feel a stomach roll.

This is an ONION spoof — isn’t it?!!!!

Yes, he needs to be in a movie, have a few lines… reading from a teleprompter, so he would need to play himself. Then give him an academy award and a lifetime achievement award in advance. He deserves it.

Actually, I think the powers that be gave him this award to counter the slap down he received from the International Olympic Committee. There is no other explanation. Are they punking us?

Keep hoping, Prime Obot.

He and Michelle should both have one of those congressional medals. They deserve it. Can the dog have one too? He did lay a prize.

Obama wins Nobel Prize – Well, I’ll be dipped in shit!

We did the same thing in electing him.

N’est pas?

For some time now, the apparent ideals of the Nobel committee have clearly been anything that diminishes the standing of the U.S.A., if not it’s outright destruction. In that regard, Obama may very well live up to the “award’s ideals” by the time he is tossed out of office.

Layla, is that you?

Something must be seriously out of whack if Obama supporters are having a hard time wrapping themselves around this.

Hi all, long time no see.

Ob deserves this award as much as he deserved the democratic nomination and as much as he deserved winning the presidency.

Hillary 2012, right the wrong.

Prime Obot — I am impressed that you would come here and acknowledge the sheer absurdity of this Nobel choice. I tip my hat to you for being big enough to admit that even you question the logic behind it. I visited some of the British news web sites to catch the tenor of their feelings about this. It appears the Brits are as flummoxed by the prize committee as we are.

This is obviously a pre-emptive strike. lol Now BO can’t start a war of his own without looking like an ingrate.

We need a “People’s Choice” Nobel Peace Prize..yea?

I nominate this for the Typo of the Year award.

http://www.newsvine.com/_question/2009/10/09/3364945-is-president-obama-deserving-of-the-nobel-peace-prize

61.6% say “no”

sad day when the once lauded nobel prize is reduced to a booby prize! oh yes let me remember carter got one too. and we all know how successful his term in office wasn’t. now i’ll say that carter actually did something for his prize whereas obummer hasn’t done one dang thing. pathetic isn’t it?

I don’t know. We may be rooting for the Mayans by 2012. This is beyond absurd. It really is.

As of now on that site that only 24% actually say he deserved it. The rest said “No”, “Maybe some day” or “I’m not sure.”

It’s that 24% that’s telling.

Exactly. This is a rather pathetic attempt to manipulate the U.S. Maybe help him get health care passed? Maybe help him garner more domestic support for his policies of turning his back on Micheleti and Netanyahu and courting the likes of Ahmadinejad, Zelaya and Chavez?

YOU LIKE ME, YOU LIKE ME

I think Tiny Tim should be posthumously awarded the NPP for his moving rendition of “Tiptoe Through the Tulips”! The peacefull feelings that he generated were Universal. His performance was delivered with more genuine passion, credibility, and gravitas, than ANYTHING that has issued from Obama’s piehole.

Sara — I love your selection of videos. I hope Weird Al Yankovich will have a contribution soon.

I can accept Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize as long as I can pick up the next Nobel Prize in Chemistry for my outstanding 7th grade science project where I demonstrated how Mentos in a Coke will produce the same effect as a volcano.

I think Ayers was pulling that person’s leg and being his usual sarcastic self.

I would encourage you not to believe a word Ayers says about anything. He is a thug who got saved from doing time by being the member of a very well-connected family.

He’s a nasty piece of work.

Didn’t anyone nominate Octomom? Such an oversight!

Hat tip to you Obot. There may be hope for us all. But that hope will come from real people and will not come from Washington DC.

Poor guy. All he wants is everything. All he needs is it all. Why can’t her just have whatever he wants?

I fell asleep with the TV on and this was the first news I heard. I thought it was a spoof and figured I had left the TV turned to the Comedy Channel. Next my sleepy mind tried to figure out if I pulled a Rip Van Winkle, slept away 6 months, and woke up on April Fool’s Day.

Listen, Obot — All I can say to the Nobel Prize Committee is:

“YOU LIE!”

Rush said he won the award for best child actor in the role of an adult.

Agreed, Portia Elizabeth. Now if we can get my sister-in-law to be so rational, we will have accomplished something.

Actually Creeper, in this instance, I think it fits.

Did you see this? The good old DNC, honestly THEY are an embarrasment http://hotair.com/headlines/?p=55317

Politico
DNC: GOP is siding with terrorists in criticizing Obama’s Nobel
“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. “Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride – unless of course you are the Republican Party.
“The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It’s no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore – it’s an embarrassing label to claim,” Woodhouse said.

Do you think this was an attempt by the bleeding hearts to stretch the prize criteria from actual accomplishments to mere words in order to offset the international embarrassment he suffered at the hands of another committee namely the International Olympics Committee. I think that is more probable than not. The problem is they have rendered the award superfluous and raised the bar on what he is now expected to achieve. This is a crowd of thorns.

And Greg Mortensen, author of Three Cups of Tea, a NON-fiction book that details how he risked his life to build schools for girls in Pakistan, having to dodge drug dealers and killers who did not want the schools.

Concise, and eloquent.

Really? Speeches trump these??

He is campaigning for leader of the world and the peace prize award is a campaign prop.

But, he said, “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.”

Hahahahahaha!

DNC communications director Brad Woodhouse. His original name was Outhouse.

You’re right. Afterall, Michelle sacrificed so much to fly to Copenhagen. But, she did it for the children.

AOL poll 70% say he didn’t deserve it, 30% say he does.

Who nominated him??

Yeah, can’t he just eat his waffles….

Holding Obama to a lower standard because he is black is racist. This was a patronizing, racist award.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
A few days ago, you guys were overjoyed because Chicago lost the bid for the Olympic Games.
Now you’re mad because the President of the USA was awarded the Nobel Peace Price.
Let’s see, who else is not happy?
“Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, speaking to Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location, said it was absurd”
“Liaqat Baluch, a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami, a conservative religious party in Pakistan, called the award an embarrassing “joke.”
WOW, you’re in good company!!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!

This award is an exercise in VIRTUAL REALITY–which is the very thing Sarkosi accused Obama of perpetrating. Again, this is a tipping point, which will cause thinking people to think.

Look into the pewter pot
And see the world as the world is not
For faith tis pleasant til tis past
The mischief is that will not last

Hmmmmm…..I wonder how much Soros may have given the committee to give Obama the award.

Obama, The Baudruche, as someone previously coined it, gets the Peace Prize for talking the talk.

Reggie Love?

I believe that obama will come to rue the day he received this “award”. Unless, of course, Soros, et al. find some other group willing to give an award to someone who has done nothing worthy of such recognition, not only in his presidency, but his entire career!

You know Doc, after hearing this morning’s bizarre news, the end of the world no longer seems like such a preposterous notion.

Velvet Jones maybe.

From Lou Dobbs Radio promo today:

“What do you get for the man who has everything? A Nobel Peace Prize! Our Supreme Leader Barack Obama shockingly won the 2009 award for peace, having been nominated for the prize no more than 11 days after his inauguration. What else will Obama win in the coming months? The World Series? A Grammy? The Heisman Trophy? The next round of Survivor? Tune in today for a full analysis of the stunning decision.”

I am not mad because the President was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize but because he does not have the character within him to reject it and “put our country first.” What the Nobel committee has done is to meddle into our country’s affairs and try to influence the way we conduct foreign policy. They have violated all ethical standards for their charter. They need to apologize to the U.S. for interfering with our way of life.

He only got it because HRC was busy working…

They need to apologize to the U.S. for interfering with our way of life.

Yeah, right, uh-humm….mm-kay

WTF………this has hurt the puppet more we know! They have overplayed their hand…….what has the puppet accomplished???????????? Clinton, 2012!

WTF………this has hurt the puppet more than they know! They have overplayed their hand…….what has the puppet accomplished???????????? Clinton, 2012!

Interesting idea… that the committee by giving the award for future work wants to influence policy. Another idea is that this administration is actually a party to this. I am not sure which, but from what Obama has said it could be either.

But, he said, “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.”

I am not sure which to me is worse… that Obama is on on this, or that he is not and is plastic enough to fall for it. Either way, doesn’t it work out the same for us?

That can be done next year. For now they are happy they can invade our policy development by trying to influence the way a standing president makes decisions. Bad form. Not only they need to be censured by Congress but by anyone with any sense of dignity for the office he represents.

Somebody who could have done so much good with the prize money as well. Instead they give it somebody who blows that much on pizza night.

Ah, the beauty of it:

2008 Community organizer is elected POTUS
2009 Thee One wins Nobel Peace Prize
2010 Large Hadron Collider creates microscopic black hole which sinks to the center of the earth and starts to feed.
2011 Earthquakes and giant tsunamis increase tenfold as black hole grows larger by consuming Earth from within.
2012 Black hole finishes consuming Earth with nary a burp. It is now as large as a pea, and happy as a clam. Mayan spirits cheer and exchange ectoplasmic high-fives all around.

Very clever post, AGI! Loved it, even if the news and topic are truly absurd.

I’m waiting for a child in the crowd to cry, “But the emperor has no clothes!”

“Never and never under-estimate the guy. ” He has always something to put him on the top. I saw it for the last three years . I am not surprised it . Expect more

It would be intreresting to see all the rough drafts ect

I agree. Puma PAC is advocating the same thing.

Breaking News….

In light of 2009 Nobel Peace Prize being awarded to Barack Obama, the Emmys/Oscars/Grammys/Tonys/Major League Baseball/NFL/NHL/World Tennis Association/MLS/Olympics/GoldenGlobes/Pulitizers/NBA/WNBA/World Wrestling Entertainment/American Music Awards/Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest have retroactively awarded all past awards & championships and awarded all future awards to Barack Obama. Especially for the arugula pie eating 1st place ribbons.

More Breaking News…

A press release From God Almighty…in light of humankind and all the species of the universe bestowing all of its honors to Barack Obama, it is only right that I abidicate my immortal/eternal/Alpha&Omega position/Omniscient/Omnipotent/Omnipresent position and power to Barack Obama. You, Barack Obama, are now the All-Powerful Ruler of all Existence…now please do some work!!!!!

I am certainly glad that all this socialist crap keeps getting exposed for what it is: a diminishing of personal freedom and the abrogation of responsibility. It is the crap that people and specially educators want to instill in the children and to build the world upon. And it seems they are succeeding. But crap like this allows children and parents to interact and allows children to discuss the merit of religion: fairness. I am so glad the Nobel Peace Prize went to Obama in that it exposes to the light of day what is unfair about the “New World Order.” People will have to decide if they will like to adapt and live in a world of ‘deception’ 100 percent of the time.

FVcking Mayans!

I wonder how much money changed hands and to whom on this committee? It is so unbelievable. I’m glad that I’m not a Democrat any more. I like being an Independent, with independent thoughts.

I have never seen this country more entrenched in partisan politics. I see friends I consider to be bright, intelligent, articulate, fair-minded people, marching in lock step with their party; defending reprehensible conduct, lies and half-truths of elected officials because of party allegiance.

Obama doesn’t deserve the Nobel Price for his campaign speeches.

Thanks wbboei for reminding us of this wonderful Housman poem, available here:

http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/588.html

“Rather than recognizing concrete achievement, the 2009 prize appeared intended to support initiatives that have yet to bear fruit”

So he essentially won the Nobel “Speech” Prize, based on what he’s said and not on what he’s done?

People have given Obama awards and gifts that he hasn’t earned all his life.

It’s what has made him so shallow.

Carolyn Kay
MakeThemAccountable.com

Here is a letter I have drafted to the Nobel Prize Committee. I would appreciate your comments. Peggy Sue, I used some of your wording about the other candidates. Who should I give credit to?

I write to you as one of the many Americans who are shocked that our president, Barack Obama, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. While he has made many speeches on the subject of peace, he has yet to accomplish anything in that area. In fact, he had been in office only 12 days before the deadline for the prize applications. This leads us to believe you have awarded a prize based on campaign speeches. Obama may deserve the award in the future, but he certainly does not now.

Further disturbing are the reports of nominees who did not win: Dr. Denis Mukwege, doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence; Sima Samar, women’s rights activist in Afghanistan who with dogged persistence and at great personal risk, kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight; and Greg Mortensen who risked his life to build schools in Pakistan and Afganistan, coming up against drug kings and Tribal War Lords who did not want the schools built. All of these people have dedicated (and risked) their lives to helping women and chidren. Why weren’t any of these people chosen?

American polls right now show that 70% of Americans do not believe Obama has done enough to earn this honor. In fact, we believe the Nobel Peace Prize has been tarnished with this selection.

I think the Chinese are laughing their heads off. But not without concern for the Muslims will take advantage of such an absurdity and make their case that the West is without redemption void of all godly traits. We in this country and in the West have simply given up on values and adopted corruption as our standard banner. Can our children build a future from travesties of such magnitude? We’ll see. I hope they take this simple to understand deception as an opportunity to demand change and seek the freedom that a clear conscience brings about.

he did

and he,s humbled..my aunt fannie

How Nobel Prize win could hurt Obama

http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/20091009/us_time/08599192939500

Maybe now he may HAVE to work. That’s the hard part!!
He will have to show the world what he’s made of?
A harder task than talking ten to the dozen with a teleprompter!!

This tactic will backfire! Americans like a fair and balance play. Not an Affiemative Action move. Yes we want our president to be successful, but not this?

The puppet would have won it all…..”IF,” he would have refused the award……the fool accepts it! Nobody likes a fraud! A cheater…..it would have been must better for the puppet if he would have said, thanks….”But judge me on my merits, allow me the opportunity to prove you right?…….. This will backfire on Berry Soetoro. This is soooooooooo funny, the reality, it is soooooooo very sad!

Trillions of flies worldwide are enraged by this Nobel insult!

YES! Lana I was just going to post the same.
Amazing man, anyone who has not read the book it will show you courage Greg Mortenson clearly deserves to be called a hero.

Simply amazing!

La yerba mala nunca muere.

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6867711.ece

IOW… Rhetoric is just that… Rhetoric!

What a f’ing farce. But what else would you expect from Norway, origin of the ravaging viking, a country who has contributed NOTHING to ‘world peace’…?!

I am in the spaminator machine!

This will be an embarrassing as not bringing the Olympics back to Chicago !

Go over there and vote (the newsvine link above). It’s MSNBS’s site and even THEY don’t think he deserved it!

Me, too!

The Nobel Committee lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama’s calls for peace

Barack Obama: International Mood Ring.

me too.

And I really love the way he got this for talking about world peace, while Hillary is actually working for it. Perhaps this will help her decide to run for Gov. of NY. It is the ultimate in having someone else take credit for your work, so maybe she’ll decide to slip away & leave the “genius” to it. What kind of world is this getting to be? And I wonder how much this cost G.S.

Yup. The Mayans didn’t figure out the next algorithm to keep their calendar going. Stupid Mayans.

So, now all the lefty new agers are shaking in their UGG boots.

Now, for those pesky planets lining up with the Galactic Center at 21 degrees of Sagittarius on 12-21-12…

Will the Mayans have the last laugh or will it be the rest of us non-mythical humans get back some sanity?

This will hurt him in the elections.

Is that as in beatitudes? “with regard to the blessedness of those who are distinguished by certain specified virtues.”

I think his bots have already given him the beautification award.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8298600.stm

Watch the guy in the background get a kick as they announcing BO as the winner of the Noble Peace Prize, and he is in the committee. UNBELIEVABLE!

Just as in the examples I and Peggy Lee cite above, Hillary has been working on behalf of women and children. Apparently that doesn’t cut it with the Nobel Prize committee.

My dog’s butt can’t wait for Times new Ozippo cover

Thank you, AGI, for helping me smile about this. When my husband turned on the tv early this morning to watch us bomb the moon – and then I heard the Nobel Prize news, I honestly felt like the entire world had gone mad. I whispered: “Oh, vomit,” before pulling the covers over my head. But now that I have read your post, I feel much better. I would have cast my vote for the 19.2 pound baby, but in the end, I guess the bigger baby won.

Oops, sorry. Make that Peggy Sue. (blush)

My friend read a Facebook posting to me over the phone just a few minutes ago:

PEACE PRIZE MY ASS!

I replied, “Yep; many reactions distilled to one sentence.”

Maybe the myans are right, the world is comming to an end. Everyday I feel like I am detached from this wierd drama going on. i swear this is the craziest thing I have yet to witness.

do you think they are laughing at us?

Enjoy now, Bella. The joke of Obama will not disappoint us in the long run. I can only look forward to the circus that will follow. The value of the Nobel Prize has just declined to ZERO. But, take heart, if Obama can win it…so can you!

bella, bella. You left out Iran. They are pleased as punch and are challenging him to live up to redistributing the wealth of the world.

When he does that bot, come back and let us know how that’s workin’ out for you…oh, right. You’ll still be living off the fat of the land except, sad bot, we’ll all (you included) be very poor and very, very thin and the Obama’s and their ilk will be multi-billionaires.

I say give it to the 19 # baby’s MOTHER!

She is the only one here who actually DESERVES it!

Lark,

You are right. It is just plain WRONG for another country to try and influence the internal affairs of others, if they are no specifically requested to do so.

“And look mommy! He’s got a tiny little wee-wee!”

“It is unfortunate that the President’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights.”

Prime Obot -

As long as we limit Obama to one term, like his friend Jimmy Carter, there may still be hope for us all. By the way, how did Jimmy getting the Peac Prize work out? Very short lived!!

Prime Obot,

Aspirational? Don’t you mean “inspirational” ? Or are you acknowledging that Obama should should try and reach the rhetorical goals he never stays in the Oval Office long enough to accomplish?

Everyone who has ever been desperate and hungry for attention, admiration, fame and acclaim ultimately has to admit that none of it made them happy because…

the emptiness inside can never be satisfied by the outer world. And that’s what sets off the craving to begin with…inner emptiness, puffed up ego rather than sense of self, pride and boasting rather than quiet accomplishment.

Newsflash: Jakarta, Indonesia; Humongous baby doubles his weight in two days. Scientists speculate that if the baby’s weight continues at this exponential rate, he will have by necessity devoured the entire planet in less than a year. The only good news is that President Obama and the U.S. Congress will have been devoured with it.

Little is known about the gravitational effects that a kicking, screaming, planet sized baby will have upon the solar system, but Stephen Hawking warns that if the the immensely corpulent child, in a fit of indigestion, were to burp up Michelle O., her dark, almost anti-matter like personality, could extinguish the Sun, plunging this small corner of the Galaxy into eternal darkness.

Pollsters have determined that a majority of Earthlings consider the loss of the Obamas, and Congress, to be an even trade for the destruction of planet Earth.

Peggy, FF checked in his brain a long time ago and is on tape recorder. Nothing…just like his master.

Brilliant idea — i.e. “People’s Choice Nobel Peace Prize”!

Yeah and I guessed you were a moron, too, after the first time you posted.

I was correct, too.

Now, who do you think that 30% was hmmmm…..

Love it. LOL. I just had a fantasy flash of the Survivor at the final ripping off his mask and disguise to reveal…That One. Of course, The One on the Island for the 39 or so days was a surrogate for That One…he only has time to show up for the $1M.

totally real. I copy/pasted the paragraph in email to the NQ writers when I first read the article because I was shocked they allowed that slam. After I decided to do this funny (i hope) post, I went back to get the link to credit the source and it was changed!

I copy pasted the quote back in google, and USATOday had the story as is still. Just msnbc changed it…

The thing that kills me is he was nominated not even TWO WEEKS after taking office… Surely you we call all agree that at two weeks in all he had done was win the election. Apparently whoever nominated him felt that was Nobel worthy.

I agree… it doesn’t look well on him, in my opinion. Especially following SNL last Saturday. haha

But seriously, half the country doesn’t think he deserved the nomination and Presidency – wasn’t experienced enough, and hadn’t accomplished anything to justify the position.

Now he gets the Nobel prize and he hasn’t done anything to justify winning it.

It’s like…what? Is he just handed everything?

I agree Prime Bot – this is the second post we have seen almost eye to eye…. there may be help for you yet. hehe ;O)

I just read this:

The spectacle of Mr Obama mounting the podium in Oslo to accept a prize that once went to Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mother Theresa would be all the more absurd if it follows a White House decision to send up to 40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6867711.ece

Someone commented above about how this was a manipulation in USA politics and depending on Obama’s decision to send the requested additional troops to Afghanistan, they may be right…

nope, actually it just took me a few minutes. It is quite easy to poke fun at Obama.

And you are wrong, I only make that expression when you are around.

doesn’t that just irk you!!!

Hey, in four or eight years, or in 50 or whatever, if Obama actually established world peace, and did something, I would be all for him winning the Nobel. But fer crying out loud… for just *hoping* for something…

thank you ooooooowawa! I was just having fun…ya know – it’s laugh or cry sometimes. hahaha

seriously LOL!

well, here’s some new HuffPO spin:

cooool! You deserve one for sure! :O)

oh man! good one! I just went with the first things that came to mind – I forgot about Octamom. Although, I will say she did do something pretty remarkable… Carrying a litter can’t be easy.

They are morons. The whole world is asking “Why? For what?” Everyone is! Even his Kenyan hometown.

yep – good one!

Here you go..I already got this email
“Nissan gets one official vote for the Heisman trophy. Go to http://promo.espn.go.com/espn/contests/theheismanvote/2009/ and write in Barack Obama and vote. Barack has done as much to deserves the Heisman as he did for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Nissan’s official vote had to be Barack Obama”

i was wondering if he was reacting the the shocked audience. I heard the MSM saying there were audible gasps and pure surprise from the people in the room. Maybe someone said something, and it made him react?

LOL!

excellent point! haha

BINGO!

well, i for one commend you on your objectivity, Obot. that’s what this site is about.

NQ, Hillbuzz, Rush Limbaugh, The Obama File, etc… have us all rolling here.

This is ingenius.

that’s about the size of it. it’s no wonder he’s arrogant as hell.

that’s why i can’t stand either party anymore; people are understandably incredulous that Ozero has received the NPP, and the DNC is so totally unhinged from reality that it compares these americans to terrorists. and to think i used to be a proud member of that party/organized crime gang.

yep, but to be honest, even if hillary had gotten it, i think that a lot of people here would have thought that there could have bee a better recipient.

word.

i just wonder whether the NP committee didn’t have some motivations other than the obvious ones that we’ve been speculating on. they had to have known that this award would not be taken seriously and would probably hurt Ozero more than help him, at least in the short term.

Hmm… There are a little more then 3 months in the first year of his presidency.

Just think of they awards they can fit it 100 days. The Heisman Trophy, Teacher of the year, MVP in the upcoming World Series. Surely the Vatican must be considering making him a living saint.

The Vatican will make Obama a saint, after he becomes the first non-Catholic (maybe even Muslim) Pope.

Don’t forget the Pillsbury Bake Off, he didn’t make anything but it was delicious.

Rush also said it was like winning the Cy Young Award for throwing out a ceremonial first pitch.

Or such a bad idea.

“Go over there and vote”, is that what the ACORN said as it sent “Nobel Peace Committee members” on a field trip to Norway??

Yes, at first I thought the same too, AGI, but the guy does laugh again upon hearing Obama’s name uttered by the announcer of the award. It may be a response to the gasps from the audience, but it could also be a response to the absurdity of it all. I wish someone would interview him to explain his curious reaction and to explain who he is, in any case.

Absolutely! This award was foisted upon us to prop up BO yet again in the face of an humiliating defeat by the IOC. To whit, all this is very reminiscent of the primaries when BO would trot out an endorsement whenever things weren’t going his way. It would certainly change the narrative — except this time it may very well backfire since thus far at least 70% of the public is not buying the rational for the award.

I think the Nobel Prize is an honor for the President, he was very gracious about accepting it.

HA American Girl in Italia. Can’t imagine how this playing in your nrek of the woods.

The Pope must be scratching his head. Thinking “Lord, I was praying for someone to actually DO something for world peace, not just words”.

Diana: LOL!

Absurd is the quintessential adjective for this farce.

trixta: YES!

I live in Baltimore where 92% of people voted for Obama. Even here, in academic, pro-Obama circles, this award was a total shock and the people were initially disappointed with Oslo’s decision. “Obama did not deserve it”. Well, it took a Nobel to open their eyes. For several hours.

I have to agree with all Americans who realize that the credibility of the Nobel Prize has just been completely undermined. Even in the very heavily pro-Obama city in which I live, the local surveys indicate that people don’t think BO deserved this award. It is embarrassing and demonstrates the power of “packing,” even outside this country….I’m very sad for the actual cause of peace and the many hard-working people and just causes that have been over been overlooked for this TV moment….

This question is directed towards our resident squatter obamabots: When will your pretend President EVER live up to his hype? Give me specifics about what he has actually done during any point in his miserable existence for which he deserves all the unthinking adoration that you give him. Don’t give me links to speeches or to websites of his adoring slack-jawed mouth-breathers, either. You bots need to actually answer this question in your own tortured English using your own fractured logic. You can’t and won’t, though, because even as addled as your are and even though you bought it all hook, line, and sinker, you really know deep, deep down that you were had and you’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

I say he’s all stilted, gobbledegook talk and no action at all. He is inert in every sense of the word.

I’m surprised Barky isn’t wearing one of those big ass crowns they give the winner, actually he probably has one and wears it around the private quarters…for now

Are you able to be called an actor if you can’t even remeber your lines, so need to drag youur TOTUS all over the set?

I guess that even HuffPo is a bit squeamish about bestowing all that glory on someone who has yet to prove himself, so they have to justify it in some way. Since I didn’t vote for BO, I probably can’t claim my share of the $1.4M booty.

Also, wondering how the Dalai Lama (a previous DESERVING laureate) feels about being recently snubbed by the new man on the block.

Remember Jiminy Cricket in Pinnochio singing–
When you wish upon a star? Well, I guess that star is none other than Emperor Ego O-bla-bla. It’s one thing for the Nobel Prize committee to grant the award to MaoBama–it’s quite another for the Big 0 to accept it. He must realize he hasn’t done ANYTHING to merit this honor. There is no end to his arrogance.
But after witnessing this, I now have hope that one of my first grade students can win the award. They all want people to stop fighting and be nice to each other too. If wishes were horses then beggars would ride. Just another chapter in the Obama Fairytale presidency. Nothing is real—Strawberry Fields forever.

i may just throw up.

Well Ferd, I do give Obama credit for his speeches that demonstrate his remarkable ability to channel Le Petomane.

And Ferd, I don’t think his worshippers are too embarrassed to admit they’ve been had, I truly think they are too stupid to realize it.

Guess the Nobel Peace Prize will look good on his resume when he has to get a real job in 2012. My pet Boxer is more worthy than the current recipient, plus she is much more humble.Gee, how do I get her voted in next year????
