President Obama has been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace!
I am speechless. I AM without speech. Speech has left me.
I will let Andrew Bolt say it all for me:
Obama has been rewarded for talking, not acting, and for promising to curb America’s ideals and power. The international Left, which has long dominated the Nobel Peace Prize committee, applauds. As it did with Jimmy Carter and Al Gore, the committee now hands its prize to yet another American politician who is not George Bush. And it rewards him for what he promises, not for a single thing he’s achieved.
This in a long of line of jokes including Yasser Arafat. With Jimmy Carter they at least waited till he truly earned it on his own with 20 years of working for democracy in the Third World, and housing in the First. (At least, Jimmy Carter fought for housing without engendering the housing or mortgage crisis.)
And Gore got it as a consolation prize, arguably for being cheated out of the White House.
The current occupant gets it for speeches and mean-spirited anti-Americanism.
As a people we could be proud. But as a nation we should worry.
Some funny lines:
Alfred Nobel must be spinning in his grave faster than Iranian centrifuges.
He is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter.
What’s the Dalai Lama thinking now?
