What should Obama do with the Nobel prize money?

The president will receive $1.4 million from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for not achieving anything concrete.
He will receive $1.4 million for an award he himself says he doesn’t deserve.
What should he do with the cash?
The field is all yours.

One reader e-mails: “Remember the neglected school in Kenya named after Obama?”
Commenter Gabe: “To cover a young person ’suffering’ without medical insurance would cost about $50 a month at most. I suggest our Dear Leader cover 2,300 young people with insurance for next year if he really cares about people without medical insurance.”
Another reader e-mails: Let the pay czar decide.

You all joke about Mt. Rushmore…

That’ll keep them in wagyu beef for a while, and a few more pizzas flown in from St. Louis.
send the money to his half-brother who lives in a hut….on second thought, he should donate the money to an organization that supports the troops….but, of course, the Emperor who has no clothes will do neither…this prize will only make him more of a narcissist, and an egoist, not to mention more arrogant, more self-centered, more selfish. He truly is a sorry excuse for a human being and on his way to being worse than Jimmy Carter, something which I thought I would never say of another human being.
Heck, I’m just hoping he remembers to pay taxes on it. Democrats have a bad habit of forgetting to do that.
Let’s see…he could buy some kind of vaguely-militaryesque uniform, some random bogus medals, a wildebeest-tail flyswatter, a portable guillotine and cheaply-made SKSs for his ‘friends’.
He’d be all set.
He should save it for a legal defense fund
after the FBI, FEC and IRS determine his ties to ACORN.
The Taliban in this case.
He could get some serious bling: A platinum and diamond grille, big garish donkey medallion, ring covering 4 fingers spelling out IWon, another ring with his ‘O’ symbol done up in rubies, diamonds and saphires.
He should pay Tony Rezko back the money for the property adjoining the Obama home.
Use it to try and buy the Olympics back from Brazil?
Maybe he should use the money to take the burden of housing his aunt off of the taxpayers.
Buy some of those T-bills no one wants anymore.
That Peace Prize medallion would make a great hood ornament. Very ghetto fabulous.

I hear that the Michael Jackson Estate has some of that clothing line…The One can pick it up dirt cheap! But what do do about the other glove?
He should invest in some better quality of art for the white house.
Spread the wealth, “O”, practice what you preach!
Kingfish–think less MJ and more Amin/Mugabe/Mobutu
etcetera
etcetera

I think we need a windfall profits tax on undeserving Nobel prize winners. Share the wealth.
He could use it to start construction on his pyramid.
How about something more authentic?

Rushmore, pfft! He certainly won’t share space with 4 dead white guys representing a United States he despises.
The Obamasiah’ll get his own mountain. Maybe Soros will buy one for him while he’s still alive, so he can watch his many worshipers innaugarate the pilgramage to this most holy site to worship TEH ONE’s image.
Split the money 60%/40% between his teleprompters and his speechwriter.
The teleprompter gets 60%, right?
Perhaps he should donate the prize money to the families of the soldiers who were wounded and killed when Combat Outpost Keating in Afghanistan was attacked and overrun, to ensure that the wounded survivors get the best medical care possible, and that the children of our slain heroes have ample funds for their college education.
Just a thought…
I suggest checking current us code before he receives payment. Presidents and other government officials can only receive limited gifts and donations while in office.
Anyone looked into this yet. Got here late and have to go. Sorry about that but I have to work and head to bed.
You are skewering him from the little I see. Keep up the good work gang
I bet he doesn’t pay tax’s on it
What’s left over should go to the bereaved family of the teleprompter that killed itself.
There are some people in Detroit who are going to be disappointed to find out they’re not really getting a $3000 check just for standing in line. Maybe he could throw a little of his loot their way.
Errah, HE’S NOT ALLOWED TO ACCEPT IT!
Bet he’s going to invest it with the firm Dewey, Cheatham & Howe’s newest junior partner: C. Rangel!
(Sorry Rogue Cheddar)
Give it to Charlie Rangel so he can pay his taxes.
How about potty training his dog for the next time it flies on AF 1?
How many additional troops in Afghanistan would that buy?
Here’s what I just posted on the main page story Story of Obama’s life: “Rather than recognizing concrete achievement…”:
Somehow I doubt this will happen, but hey, I hear ACORN needs money these days!!!
Well, I suggest the people of Detroit who signed up for stimulus money. They think it is coming from Obama’s stash, so here it is.
A very liberal co-worker had a suggestion.
She was as surprised and shocked as we are by Dear Leader’s award and suggest he show some class and also generate good will across the aisle by declining the prize and instead graciously offer to travel to the ceremony and present the prize to the most deserving. (After all, Dear Leader admits he doesn’t deserve it. . .besides, he will get it next year. . . .)
Yeah, Soros could buy Crazy Horse that’s under construction and change it to His Holiness’ image. But then again, Crazy Horse killed a bunch of evil white guys under Custer, so he’s a hero to the Left.
Sneakers for ‘chelle
Uh….pay back Rezko?
Or maybe give some ching to ACORN since they may be a little short.
But then he could appoint himself to his own administration.
He could tuck his other hand in his vest like Napoleon.
Give it to Charlie Rangel to pay off his tax cheating debt.
Give it to ACORN because their gov’t funding was cut off by malicious overzealous republicans.
What he really should do, donate it to a veterans organization and challenge his rich buddies to match the gift!
calgirl already mentioned my thought; get a new hut for his brother. PBO could pay for the installation of a water treatment facility and plumb/supply his brother’s village with fresh water.
*Give it to Michelle so she can pay reparations with it to the black folks; After all, her great, great, …, …, grandfather was a white slave owner.
He’ll pay ACORN’s legal expenses with it.
I had heard a number of folks suggest on the radio that Obama COULD have pulled off the biggest coup of his young presidency had he simply rejected the award, on account of his being undeserving (as he himself admitted to be), and by doing so, he would have actually shown some degree of humility (whether he meant it or not). By his accepting the award, he merely made himself to be the biggest buffoon in the entire world. His stupidity is off the charts.
Its not his money. If I recall correctly he is required to turn it over any gifts, awards, prizes, etc., received while in office to the US government; any such gifts, awards, prizes, etc., are the property of the people of the United States, not the recipient.
He should start footing the bill for Michelle-My Belle’s trips to Paris.
Keep it…..He has got to come out of this a multi-multi millionaire and he may not, have the 8 years Clinton has to build his stash.
MO be shoppin’!
The proper thing would be to donate it to the groups Mary K Ham noted were passed over, like the group that helps victims of land-mines.
But this being Obama, the proper thing will not happen.
If he donates it to the Treasury it might pay for part of the cost of sending Air Force One and a backup and other cargo planes to Norway for Obama to accept the boot-licking from the sons of Quisling.
But that ain’t happening either.
A donation to the UNCF would be a good deed and would be racially concious, supporting America’s historically Black colleges, but the good deed part might get in the way.
He should buy iPods with his speeches on them for all the crapweasels who voted for him.
Legally and Constitutionally he should refuse to accept the money and the tangible aspects of the award. Or at the very least he should declare they are the property of the USofA and not his.
There is question about whether he can accept this title from another government, as well.
{^_^}
The answer is simple. Use it to pay for his upcoming trip to Oslo.
can’t claim this one but it’s good…
