First it was Al Gore with his books and documentary and now it’s Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize after being nominated when he was in office less than two weeks (nominations closed in February). And Obama hadn’t even done anything yet – he won because he INTENDED to work for world peace.
That’s it for me – the Nobel Peace Prize is now officially a joke. I have zero respect for that award now. I lost most of my respect for it when Al Gore got it last year (although at least he DID something – and even then, he still had to share the honor), but this just takes the cake. Even Obama admits he probably doesn’t deserve it.
Hey, I INTEND to do great world-changing things, too. Why not give me one? I bet I can do some good things without taking billions in taxpayer money to accomplish it. And I promise I won’t scare people half to death by flying Air Force One over NYC unannounced or go out for a lavish evening on the town for “date night” with my spouse – plus the required entourage of security agents. Table for 14, anyone?
We can say Obama has done something these past nine months he’s been in office – he’s in the process of systematically dismantling the pillars upon which this country was built. He’s sticking his nose into issues he has no business interfering with (buying GM and regulating bonuses for private company executives, for example). When did those activities become part of the job description for the President?
Obama had just been dealt an embarrassing blow by going to the Olympics Committee and pitching Chicago to be the host of the 2016 Olympics, and failing miserably when the votes were counted. Apparently, the IOC wasn’t impressed with him then, and now he’s a standing joke to the world.
I’m just disgusted more by the day.
