Further Nobel Thoughts

Baiting The Left 82 Comments

In the awarding of the Peace Prize at this early stage in his presidency, even the Nobel committee has revealed a certain lack of confidence in President Obama.
The Presidency is a four year term. Why not wait until Obama had a track record of accomplishments behind him – unless they were afraid there wouldn’t be any.

  1. My favorite jokes so far:
    “He is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter”
    “Now we know that happened to that satchel full of cash we sent to Copenhagen, it ended up in Oslo. Everything makes sense now!”

  4. It’s way beneath you, Kate. Your 2008 Best Conservative Blog Weblogs award is far more presigious.
    There’s no hope, now. He’s going to go from pathological narcissist to flat out certifiable. Someone page ET.

  5. Really Kate.
    I was thinking that the only way of topping this would be to give it to the Castro brothers, why not? the OAS has made the first step.

  7. Best Comment so far
    “Woke up this morning turned on Fox News and immediately knew what it felt like to be Ferris Bueller’s sister.” —HotAir.com commenter
    LOL! +100

  8. tim in vermont – I still think MaryM’s comments about her nightmare were the best – ie that she had some weird dream about the US bombing the moon, and Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

  9. Meet the unworthy.
    Sima Samar, women’s rights activist in Afghanistan
    Ingrid Betancourt, French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years
    Dr. Denis Mukwege, doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo
    Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition
    Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government
    Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China’s communist system

  10. If the Nobel Peace Prize wasn’t a joke when it awarded Yassar Araft, or when it awarded Jimmy Carter, or Al Gore, it’s completely run off the track into stupidity with this new choice.

  11. Wonder if he’ll read his acceptance speech off the teleprompter or just lip synch it.
    Obama the Milli-Vanilli of Western politics…

  13. Kathryn’s post is important.
    I’m a little irritated at those who are content to cry sour grapes. Sure, it’s just a symbolic gesture. But that symbolism could be used to do some good in the world.
    Instead, it’s cynically being used as a club against Bush. Again.
    Something has to change. We’ve got a lot of work to do.

  14. The Nobel Peace Prize is all well and good, but how long will it take for the Vatican to make him a Saint. Hurry up your Holiness people are waiting.

  15. > Wny not wait until Obama had a track record
    Because the prize is a vehicle. You just need to do forensic audit to find who is fueling it.

  16. Nobel Peace Prize = Leftist Self-congratulatory pat on the back. “Hey Obama, congrats on winning one for the left, here’s your trophy!”
    I just hope during his acceptance speech he can produce a gem like Neville’s “peace in our time”.

  17. Erik Larsen @12:13 – hey, he’s wimping out all over the planet, but at least he’s showing the moon who’se boss!
    Wait, somebody else tell Erik. I’m not speaking to Scandinavians today.

  21. Scanned over comments at rueters,cbc,G&M,even at huff post for heavens sake, it’s official he’s a boob.

  22. Arafat, Gore, Obama…it’s official, the Nobel Peace Prize is utterly worthless and now everyone knows it. Truly, this is a great day.

  23. The Nobel Peace Prize and … he’s bombing the moon? The horror, the horror! Now we find the left doesn’t care at all about moon folk.

  24. RFC: Guess what? It’s real and its a nightmare. So, next years winner: Almadingdong. Then these two can kiss each other toes and pride themselves on how great they are! The great Oprah will be cheering on the great one. Yuck! AND, please, leave our moon alone!

  25. I just told somebody at work he won the NPP. Their response, after a few seconds of silence, was, “In what context?”. Indeed.

  28. “Woke up this morning turned on Fox News and immediately knew what it felt like to be Ferris Bueller’s sister.”
    – Honestly, I’d rather have Ferris Bueller as POTUS. At least he has the balls to skip class, thumb his nose at his principal, and has a hot girlfriend. Obama kowtows to China, Russia, does a grovelling global apology tour, pals around with terrorist, and his wife is probably a black supremacist.

  31. So the Black Avenger gets an emblem for his cape.
    The Nobel Prize has degenerated just like English knighthood. When I was a kid, becoming a knight seemed like a pretty big deal, but when they started conferring knighthood on people like Mick Jagger I realized how corruption had ruined the honor.
    Now with the lineup of nuts and crazies the Nobel Prize has chosen as recipients, the corruption is very clear.
    The Nobel Prize has degenerated for the purposes of influence peddling to such an extent that it is simply no longer a prize worth having.
    Obviously the Nobel committee simply wants to intrude itself into the American political process. It wants to help seal the coffin on America’s superpower status and constitutional democracy. It wants to put a stamp on 1960s political Marxist radicals. And help provide that radical agenda with more power.
    What it perhaps doesn’t realize is that in the process of giving the prize to crazies and terrorists it has simply corrupted itself to the point that it is practically irrelevant.
    (In the meantime we have a groundswell of support for the mid-term elections that is likely to disappoint all the people dancing on the American grave.)

  34. I wonder how much this cost George Soros? As he’s shorting the US dollar, just like he shattered the UK pound a couple of decades ago, it will only be pocket change as he adds another billion or two to his and MoveOnOrg’s war chest.

  35. Reports are that Hugo Chavez is taking this pretty hard. He thought he was a shoe in.

  36. Obama’s acceptance speech
    Thank you for recognizing my greatness,now can we please hurry it up,I have a war to lose,an economy to destroy,careers to smear[police,doctors,insurers…sorry if I forgot anyone,I can’t keep count]and terrorist nations to appease.Once again I’m sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone,but do not fret,I’ve only just begun.

  37. Wow! Evidence that George Soros also owns the Nobel Peace Prize committee.
    Stunning. Being awarded the prize after two weeks in office for what he MIGHT do.
    The guy has NEVER DONE ANYTHING OF VALUE!

  38. Set aside the jokes for a second and think about this. I see the award as an attempt by the Nobel Committee to circumscribe Obama’s freedom of action with respect to Israel-Palestine, Afghanistan-Pakistan, and, most importantly, Iran. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will aspire to earn the accolade bestowed upon him. He’s the presumptive heir to the throne of Global Peacemaker, and will now tend even more toward appeasement.
    It’s actually very sad.

  39. Heard on the radio that BO says he’s “humbled” by the award.
    My ass he is.
    Imagine what the pillow talk between him and Michell will be like tonight – “humbled” will only be uttered if it is followed by peals of laughter.

  40. I wuz thinking: wouldn’t it be great if the rightosphere had totally ignored this announcement? Wouldn’t utter silence be the most eloquent statement you could make on this topic?
    To this extent, at least, I can agree with Vitruvius’s patented phrase! It IS pathological to provide exploding rightist heads to the enemy. What is achieved?
    Enjoy the joke, on the QT.

  41. You must be g-d- kidding me that this joke is getting the Nobel Prize. Mother Teresa deserved the prize because SHE ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING. This lame jack@$$ did nothing!
    Words cannot express my fury at this point.
    Meritocracy, my @$$!

  42. The expected racism of Greg in Dallas rears its head again…
    Combined with Kate’s idiotic acceptance of Ayer’s joke that he wrote Obama’s book as gospel truth…now this bitter cavilling about Obama winning the Nobel…you guys ever think you might be on the wrong side…i.e. the dumb side?

  43. Just a waring,I’ll be posting here all day,mom thinks I’m out looking for a job…heh.

  44. Heard on the radio that BO says he’s “humbled” by the award.
    My ass he is.
    Imagine what the pillow talk between him and Michell will be like tonight – “humbled” will only be uttered if it is followed by peals of laughter.

  45. One would think that bombing the moon would have the left up in arms,”what about the bats habitat”!

  46. Say “congratulations” and move on. Yes Jimmeh, Gore and Arafat were good examples of bad examples. However, if the right keeps talking about how Obama should not have gotten the award it makes the right look jealous and small and it reminds everyone that Obama did get the award. Kinda like Iggy dumping on Ringo Harper. As with farts, bad wives and awards to adversaries let it go..

  47. MND: “Wouldn’t utter silence be the most eloquent statement you could make on this topic?”
    Silence got us to the point we are today.
    The Nobel peace prize committee has so dimensioned “Jumped the shark” that it is deserving of its own phrase.
    What next? An animal … a plant?

  48. Diplomate – in – Chief Summary of Accomplishments as scrutinized by the Nobel committee:
    1. BHO pulled down the missile shield in Eastern Europe as a gesture of good faith … the result is that Putin is emboldened, has formed closer ties with Iran by supporting Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and is forming closer ties with the likes of Chavez.
    2. BHO has reached out to Europe. The result is no cooperation on Afghanistan, forcing the US to basically go it alone … not to mention the mocking derision of BHO issuing from the likes of Sarkozy.
    3. BHO fired the first shots of a trade war with China.
    4. BHO signed a bill that discriminates against Canadian businesses, despite a longstanding free trade agreement being in place and our two countries sharing the longest undefended border on the planet.
    5. BHO reached out to Iran. The result is that Iran has accelerated it’s nuke ambitions.
    6. BHO has bullied Honduras for simply living up to it’s constitutional responsibilities.
    7. BHO has sucked up to Muslims publicly and internationally. The result is an emboldened push by UN Muslim states to enact international laws that are a flagrant attack on free speech. Canada, for example, walked out of the UN HR committee.
    8. BHO has been chastised by the G-20 for record debt and the US dollar is now under assault from debtor nations despite claims by them that no such plan is afoot. They have lied, openly, to the great diplomat.
    9. BHO has isolated Israel, one of America’s longest standing friends and the only liberal democracy in the entire Middle East.

  49. hussein has managed to have himself elevated down to the level of the like of arafat, carter, and fat al, in less time than it takes the bank to foreclose on your house, great indeed
    now as to the probable real intent of this award, the nobel prize commission is trying to massage hussein into complying with the EU on the “climate change file”, blalant interferences in the USA political process

  50. The only thing his Obamaness has accomplished is to win the adoration of would be Neville Chamberlains. You can be assured that the selection committee is 100% composed of such people. By kowtowing to every tinpot dictator in the world he has done more to endanger world peace today than the British and French governments prior to WW 11. Where was the World Peace Prize for Ronald Reagan? He saved the world from a threatened nuclear holocaust. Now there was an achievement worthy of the prize spuriously awarded to BHO.
