   I NAILED IT!!! Obama has JUST said that he doesn’t deserve it (interesting admission), but he’s accepting it anyway BECAUSE OF HIS CAUSES! He’s going to pursue his idiotic tyrannical cause to enslave all of humanity with renewed vigor, now that he’s been chosen by the Nobel Committee as this award recipient.

   I KNEW IT. This arrogant moron just couldn’t resist accepting something bestowed upon him, regardless of his being incapable of deserving it. This completes the cycle of “affirmative action” for this clown.

   I’m DYING to see what the “South Park” guys do about THIS! The political lampooners have enough material on this idiocy alone to last until 2010.

   Was Hugo Chavez the First Runnerup?

   As were Obama’s predecessors Jimmy Carter and Yasser Arafat ol’ Hugo is an antisemite so I can see where he would be in the running.

   Drudge: “” Obama will accept award on ‘behalf of Americans and America’s values’”"

   Can I opt out? Will Opey give the prize money to The Little Jihadist of the Poor or ACORN? $1,212,369.56.

   But then the Prize was denied to Mahatma Gandhi due to the objections of muslims-1937, 1938, 1939, 1947. Too bad India did not raise hell when Arafat got it. Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939-but that was before he invaded Norway so in 1941, 42, 43 and 44 Hitler could have nominated and awarded himself Justice.

   Why is the hell are we still in NATO?

   The Nobel Prize Committee made the following announcements today.

   Every day will henceforth be known as “Obamaday.” This will help avoid confusion by those who have trouble keeping track of important things like what day it is and what Obama has actually accomplished.

   Henceforth, Alexander the Great will be known as just plain old Alexander. His title is immediately transferred to Obama who will be referred to as Obama the Great throughout history.

   Also, Starbucks just announced that that they are giving away a free Nobel Peace Prize with every purchase of a Venti sized premium coffee drink!

   Life is GOOD!

   On the 12th Day of Office, a Nobel Came to Me
   Posted by Karen De Coster on October 9, 2009 08:57 AM

   Obama won it for only 12 days in office because the deadline date for nomination is February 1, according to the Norwegian Nobel Committee website.

   Somebody on FOX (a Republican blogger?) wrote up Obama’s award-winning agenda for the 12 sterling, Nobel-deserving days. Already, Wikipedia has an analysis of Obama’s win in its Nobel Prize entry.

   Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning. Over the last decade the only requirement to win the prize was that the nominee had to be critical of George W. Bush (see Al Gore, Mohamed El Baradei and Jimmy Carter).

   President Obama has broken new ground here. Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1. The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.

   Let’s take a look at the president’s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:

   January 20: Sworn in as president. Went to a parade. Partied.

   January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an “open house” party at the White House.

   January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how’s that working out?)

   January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

   January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

   January 25: Skipped church.

   January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner’s swearing in ceremony.

   January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

   January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

   January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.

   January 30: Met economic advisers. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.

   January 31: Took the day off.

   February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.

   So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, release federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries, party some more.

   Good grief.

    Correction: All pronouns should be capitalized when referring to our Dear Leader:

    And He speaks. Obama acknowledges He doesn’t deserve the award, but He will accept it anyway.

    Actually, this is very scary. Obama clearly suffers from Narcisstic Personality Disorder because of these accodates since he was a small kid. This type of flattery–crowning him with a Nobel Peace Prize–can really influence him to the detriment of our national security. Now he thinks of himself as president of the world.

    However, isn’t it a bit ironic that jug ears gets the Nobel Peace Prize the same day that we bomb the moon? Oh wait, that was a pre-emptive strike in search of WMD’s. Next step is to grab all the moon men (sexist!) and waterboard them in either Gitmo or Hardin!

    What do all these me have in common? A body of work behind them that led to the “Nobel Peace Prize”. Some may agree or disagree on the merits of the award, but at least they actually did something.

    Now please compare that to Obama’s 12 days in office… Notice anything missing?

    As mentioned elsewhere that is the same level of compitence as awarding Jon Q. Public the Pulitzer because he intends to write a book.

    The Nobel Peace Prize has become meaningless with the exception of supporting and propping up socialist causes. Isn’t there some limit to “gifts” and “awards” that a sitting U.S. President receives while in office?

    Off hand, Obama is raking in the royalties from his autobiography (written by someone else) to pay for his two girl’s college fund. Why not do the right thing and help pay a wee bit of the 1.8 TRILLION DOLLAR DEBT he was instrumental in creating?

    If Obama had any class he would thank the Nobel Committee and tell them that he cannot accept the Nobel Prize at this time as he was only in office for 10 days when the deadline hit for the nominations. He would tell them that as of yet he has not accomplished his goals of Nuclear disarmerment (not that agree with it)or his goals of successfull negotiations in the Middle East (Israeli/Palestinian, Iran). That he invites the Nobel committee to help him further his goals, but to hold off awarding him any prize until he accomplishes his goals. That would be real class and something for people to look up to.

    Instead, he is going to accept the prize even though he admits that he has not accomplished anything as of yet. What kind of message does that send to people?

    I am so thankful today my Norwegin and Swedish ancestors came here.

    My great great grandfather who came here in 1847. In 1864 he joined the Army and fought for the Union.

    Europeans have learned nothing; NOTHING. Thank God for my ancestors.

    Amen.
    I hear you.

    I also am thankful that my grandparents came here from Europe roughly a century ago…if I remember right, one was on the ship that sailed from Liverpool next after the Titanic.
    And, recently, the clowns in the “mother country”, or “homeland”, just threw out the “conservatives” and elcted the socialists likely communists who had been in power before the “conservatives”.

    Idiots….

    God bless my grandparents.

    God bless America.

    Kingfish, you omitted General George Marshall from your list of American Peace Prize winners for rebuilding postwar western Europe, a worthy award. Likewise, Michelle saluted Norman Borlaug a while ago on his passing for revolutionizing agriculture that prevented deadly famines. Another distinguished Peace Prize winner.

    I don’t get it.. I really don’t get get it at all. Out of the 200+ nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize, Obummer gets it? For what? For making pretty speeches? For being inspiring? If those are the only requirements, then I guess any politician can receive this award.

    The rationale that the Nobel committee made for Obummer receiving the award doesn’t make sense. I mean… let’s take a look at the following:

    1. Promoting nuclear disarmament. Who does this benefit… certainly not the US. Oh, that’s right the WORLD. And yet, can anyone say that we have this reality right now? Russia is updating its arsenal, and Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon. Good job, Obummer!

    2. Dialoguing with the Middle East. Making a pretty naive, unrealistic speech in Cairo to people who aren’t the least bit reasoned and hostile to modernity isn’t really going to bring Peace. It’s Peace at our collective peril… where Israel and the West make all the concessions and the Middle East just continues to tolerate dictators, terrorism and blaiming the “infidel.”

    3. Being “inspirational.” This was the fruitiest part of the rationale by the committee. This was the Nobel Committe, a group of liberal politicians, giving their blind support toward somebody who doesn’t deserve such a prestigious accolade. He was nominated 2 weeks into his presidency!!! The Nobel Committee, like most of Europe, are cowards who do not believe in awarding actual achievements toward bettering the world… only turning away from those achievements to give themselves some free PR and pats on the back for being so “evolved.”

    I’m utterly disgusted. The Nobel Prize means nothing anymore. It just awards fellow liberals and cronies who believe in the internationalist agenda. These people want to dismantle not only the sovereignty of America, but the very idea and essense of our country.

    You can give Obummer the Boobie prize but the Nobel? C’mon…..

    Oddly enough, the is a huge difference between the pathologies of Obama and the Nobel Committee.

    Obama wants to be worshiped and loved by ordinary people in spite of the fact he has never really accomplished anything. He desperately wants accolades and wants to be loved.

    The Nobel Committee obviously couldn’t care less what ordinary people think of them and they proved it.

    Oddly enough, it demonstrates two sides of the same elitist, arrogant aspects of modern leftists.

    As I suspected was happening, the Nobel Peace Prize has morphed into a meaningless symbol; a trinket. It now carries as much relevance as the Teen’s Choice Award, with one major exception…at least the teens who vote for their winners consistently get it right.

    Any omission was incidental and not out of disrespect. I was listing the presidents/politicians/civics leaders that won the award. With the addition of these two worthy recipients, the statement still stands that there was a work or body of work to back up the award.

    The Norwegians may bow to the One, but surely the Danes are laughing thier butts off now. And don’t call me Shirley.

    The Nobel Sacrifical Prize for Aborted Geneology goes to Michelle Obama! We must all come to terms how rough it has been for her children now having a white ancestor hidden back in the wood shed.

    The Nobel Prize for Book of the Month Club Literature goes to Oprah!

    The Nobel Prize for Special Feel Good Medicine goes to Dr. Phil

     NJ Aviator,

     Read the Krauthammer article I linked earlier. It explains the whole thing.

     I did in fact read that JD. Thnx But aside from the excerpt of Sarkozy’s UN speech, it’s mostly about Russia’s position on Iran.

     And in the full statement, it’s clear that Sarkozy is basically mocking Obama’s naive machinations with respect to dialogue. I didn’t see how it related directly to the disclosure about Qom. I thought there was something more. Such as Sarkozy having an issue with the timing of the Qom disclosure.

     Am I missing something?
