Absurdly Ridiculous Obama Worship

Breaking News: President Obama has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

I am waiting for the work 'hoax' to appear in a follow up story but I am afraid it hasn't materialized. My first thought when seeing this was "Are you kidding me?!!". The man has only been in office for nine months and has yet to sign a peace treaty, broker successful peace talks or even bring waring enemies to the table, yet the Nobel prize committee has awarded him it's top prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". In other words, his trips to Europe to make speeches.

I guess since this same committee gave a prize to Al Gore, we know that it has now become the world's prize for the encouragement of socialism. Jimmy Carter should be furious and questioning the value of his prize. Bill Clinton should be livid as he was never awarded the prize after the Dayton accords. And Both George Bush's can sleep nights knowing that their "extraordinary efforts" will have the real long lasting results of peace.

Having just reread 'Theodore Rex' by Edmund Morris, I was fascinated by the "extraordinary" RESULTS achieved by President Roosevelt. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for ending the Russo-Japanese war. He actually did it. Himself! Hell, even Jimmy Carter got Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin to sign a treaty. Richard Nixon thawed the cold war, Ronald Reagan started the toppling of the tyrannical Soviet empire and George H.W. Bush finished it. But it is now that the Nobel prize committee is handing out it's peace prize to Barack Obama -for his effort.

It is a sad day for Alfred Nobel's legacy when his award is given for intentions and not accomplishments. I for one will now look at the Nobel prize with as much respect as an honorary degree from an online university. The shock over this morning's announcement tells me that I am not alone. I can't help to wonder if they will hand out the prize for literature to someone with a couple of rejected manuscripts, for his effort. Or the prize in science to someone who burned up a couple of labs but never found any results, for his effort.

The Nobel Prize committee is clearly off it's rocker. Perhaps it's something in the Swedish water. Too much Absolute would be my guess. It's enough to make you want to boycott IKEA.
