Congratulations, President Obama

by

An awful lot of people seemed surprised this morning to find out that Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Most of these people point to the obvious: other than giving a few eloquent speeches, Obama’s record of achievements is a blank page.

But the fact that Obama has never accomplished anything that could be considered worthy of a global peace prize is irrelevant to the discussion. A quick glance at a few of the recent winners of the prize clearly shows that Obama’s lack of achievements in global peace actually made him an obvious choice for the Nobel commission. As the latest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama is now part of an interesting and exclusive group of individuals and organizations. Although they come from different backgrounds and nations, they all share one common trait: they are a pathetic bunch.

As examples, you have, for instance, Jimmy Carter. The former president is a mentally unstable, UFO spotting anti-Semite that travels the world coddling terrorists and dictators. You also have Al Gore as a member of this club. Gore was awarded the prize for his farcical global warming movie that was woefully short on facts and extraordinarily long on fantastical predictions of our demise.

Another winner of the Nobel Peace Prize was the United Nations and its secretary, Kofi Annan. We all know how useless the UN is and Mr. Annan proved to be quite adept at making millions of dollars for himself and his family through backroom deals with Saddam Hussein in the Oil for Food scandal. Some other stellar global citizens that are part of this group include Mikhail Gorbachev and Yassar Arafat. Gorbachev just happened to be the last totalitarian dictator of the Soviet Union before it fell apart and Arafat was nothing more than an unapologetic terrorist. The International Atomic Energy Agency and Mohamed Elbaradei are also winners of the prize, and they are two more great examples that the Nobel commission should really consider removing the word “peace” from its prize.

When we consider all of these past winners, it becomes clear that the selection by the Nobel commission of a man who has not accomplished anything is really not all that surprising. Barack Obama’s name fits right in with all the other names on this list of losers.

Congratulations, President Obama.

  1. Alberto,

    You forgot to add several big losers to the bunch: President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt (1906) and U.S.President Woodrow Wilson. (1919). They all had/have a RED streak running down their back. In fact, Obama will probably finish (during the beginning of the 21th century) what Roosevelt and Wilson started at the beginning of the 20th. All of them Losers with a capital L.

    There was another big loser: Franklin D. Roosevelt, but I guess he wasn’t that much of a loser to be able to win the Nobel Peace Price.

  5. Both Roosevelts and Woodrow Wilson are from way way way and even more way back …

    Arias is an idiot who is planning to try to make himself the President for Life of Costa Rica …

  6. …And true to form, the new standard for peace laureates is expectation rather than actual achievement; perfectly suited for obama. The leftist Nobel cmttee has been out of the closet for years, but with this move, they are parading down the street. They know no shame.

  7. Just because you wingnuts don’t agree with president Obama, doesn’t mean he’s not deserving of the NPP. You’re all forgetting that peace must be achieved at any cost-whether it’s by appeasement, capitulation, surrender or the “fat sight”-it doesn’t matter. The ends justify the means, guys-Obama will deliver. Sheesh! Have some faith!
    Besides, remember the “beer summit?” Human sacrifice, cops and blacks drinking together… mass hysteria! Who else couldda pulled that off?

  8. Two important points here:

    1) those he stepped on to get the dumb-ass award (dumb-ass in the sense it has no real meaning in the context given to him)

    Most if not all those listed have done their works with great threat to their very lives.

    2) Rick Moran @ American Thinker points to this:

    [[According to their own website, the deadline for the submission of names to be considered for the prize is February 1.

    Obama was not nominated based on what he had accomplished as president because he had been in office for less than two weeks.

    I would add a simple, declarative WTF and leave it at that.]]

  9. Giving President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize at this time is like giving an Oscar for a film not yet made or a Grammy for a recording not yet written let alone released. That is all.

    -S-

  12. I am sure that the cagao fidel castro will get the same prize postumously…..after all the viejo cagao has kepth the “peace” in Cuba for over 50 years by murdering thousands and thousands of Cubans.

  15. I beg to differ with any of you guys to have anything bad to say about Teddy R. He was well deserved of the Nobel Prize and was one of our greatest Presidents in the 20th Century. He was also one of the Presidents that President’s Reagan looked up to the most. I suggest you all read your history on TR before you lump him in with such racists as W. Wilson, and losers like Carter and Gore and Obama.

  16. Cigar Mike.

    Careful there. You better retract that or George Moneo will come in and call you a Communist and ban you from this blog.

    Oh, and firefly? About Woodrow Wilson being a Red: he invaded the Soviet Union in 1917, landing American troops in Murmansk, Archangel, and Vladivostok. But, hey, who needs historical facts? Go ahead and call him a Red.

  17. FYI, I think many, if not most, mainstream liberals and even Obama voters are not on board with the Nobel Prize Committee’s action today, either. The Nobel Peace Prize has been demeaned and devalued for quite a while already, by the influence of politics and maybe even senility, but I’m with you all that this one takes the cake.

  18. Actually, it makes last weeks SNL Obama “non-accomplishment”/lost Olympics skit pure genius.

    Not only did it outline the emptiness of this guy, but inadvertently highlights the degree of irrelevance the NPP has become, and that of it’s recipients of late. (Who knew Obama winning a NPP would make Al Gore’s look legit???)

    BTW, no take-backs on this.

    It stays as it lays.

    The NPP committee … doing the job the American media refuses to do.

  19. Speaking of history, Spygirl — about which you are an ignoramus — did you know Wilson was a great admirer of eugenics? Or that he wanted a “progressive” system implemented in the US? Or that he was one of the first to want a global government? No? Of course not. Dolt. He was a socialist through and through.

    P.S., I admire TR very much.

  20. Secondly Spygirl, Jim Crow’s biggest friend was the Virginian Woodrow Wilson. He only carried one state outside the south and made sure that the anti-Klan legislation that was enacted in the 1870’s was not enforced. He allowed segregation to flourish.

    Under his watch, black diplomats were replaced by whites; numerous black federal officials in the South were removed from their posts; the local Washington police force and fire department stopped hiring blacks. Wilson’s own view, as he expressed it to intimates, was that federal segregation was an act of kindness. In historian Friedman’s paraphrase, “Off by themselves with only a white supervisor, blacks would not be forced out of their jobs by energetic white employees.”

    You got to love this quote by WW: “At last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the Southern Country.” WW’s betrayal of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles was the excuse that gave Hitler a vehicle to get into power years later.

    This is the guy the left adores? He was a prick scumbag and a DEMOCRAT. So I suggest you read up on your history.

    TR, mediated the end of the war between Russia and Japan; he was the first to have the US Navy tour the World to show that the US was a nation to be reckoned with; ending the years of isolationism. TR was the first President to use the executive branch not only as a bully pulpit but he gave the office power. He broke up trusts that were destroying the nation, selected Oliver Wendell Holmes to the Supreme Court, and in my opinion, the most important thing he did for this nation was promoting the conservation of public lands and establishing national parks for all of us to enjoy.

    TR was not a girly man like those who govern us today.

  21. God how I love George, and Val, and Mike, and Humberto, and all the Babalu community.

    You guys make “perspective” easily attainable.

    Thanks.

  24. Cigar Mike,
    I don’t know what you are goin on about. I never said that Woodrow Wilson was either a good or a bad president. I simply pointed out that to call him a Red was absurd since he sent troops to invade the Soviet Union on three major cities. As for KKK, eugenics, or anything else, that’s a totally different matter.

    As for Teddy Roosevelt, I think he was a great president, but somebody will probably condemn him because he was an energetic conservationist.
