In an embarrassing move by the Nobel Prize Committee, President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, adding to his already illustrious collection of undeserved bona fides. It’s obvious that the committee is awarding prizes to any prominent American who speaks up against (or ends the era of) George W. Bush’s peace through power imperialism. The committee said that the President was awarded the prize because they appreciated Obama’s vision and work for a world without nukes, and the fact that he had single handedly “created a new climate in international politics”. Apart from the fact that this is bull, it’s obvious that this award is nothing but a thank you for ending the Bush era.
A couple of years ago, however, Al Gore was given a Nobel Prize for making a powerpoint. But at least the guy had created some sort of deliverable. Obama’s done nothing but written some books, run for President, tried to enact sweeping change that would plummet our country into huge(r) amounts of deficit spending, and leave our troups confused and alone wondering why they are in Afghanistan. His policies have made the US and the world as a whole a far more dangerous (and vulnerable) place. His foreign policy has been, is and will continue to be disastrous. So forgive me if I don’t understand, but I really have only one question: How in the H$^# did he win this thing? He didn’t even make a Power Point.
