It is absurd and it is embarrassing. It would even be infuriating if it were not such a declaration of emptiness.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has embarrassed itself and cheapened a great award that had real meaning.
It was a good thing, the Nobel Peace Prize. Every year the giving of it was a matter of note throughout the world, almost a matter of state. It was serious. It mattered...

"...it is not Barack Obama's fault that he has been embarrassed by this honor. And it may possibly hold for him an unanticipated benefit. It may give him pause: Look what idiots my biggest international supporters are. I may have to rethink a few things..."
0's going to look within himself and see that he comes up short??? Yeah, that's going to happen. I gotta believe that ol' Peg has finally just said to hell with it and joined the dark side. Her article is set up to look like an examination of 0's bogus award, but it seems to me that it is really just another lame attempt to cover his miserable azz.
I’m just not buying all these stories that say Obama got the NPP for not being George Bush. That is total rubbish.
This is the Empty Suit’s Jump The Sharp moment.
On the other hand, the makers of the Obama Chia head can now come out with a special edition featuring his chia growing likeness with a Nobel Peace Prize around its neck. I love those commercials with their tongue in cheek reverence and the Nobel Prize thing would make it even better.
I’m stuned at the typo. Sharp = Shark
Try as she might, Noonan just can’t seem to separate her lips from bambi’s arse. Its like they are frozen on and it will hurt too badly to separate. Must be crowed though what with McCain et al also attached.
It’s just a few chunks of bait to get me to click on her, isn’t it.
Not gonna be, Pegeen!

I,me,me,I,myself,I,me. I just took out every other word of his acceptance speech.
O is such a narcissist he probably actually believes he deserves the NPP somehow, another validation in his mind of his greatness...and I thought the Clinton kool aid was strong, wow, what are these people drinking??

Right. He got it for the Twelve Days that Changed the World.
Someone on Fox this morning (Mary Cheney, I think?) made the point that nominations for the NPP were due on 1 February - something like 10 days after the Bassiah took office...incredible...this from a career politician who’s only accomplishments are voting ‘present’ in the IL state senate 129 times and spending all of his only 1/2 term in the US Senate running for president...
Why there is not revolution in the streets is beyond me...
I think that this award gets Obama off the hook for sending the necessary troops to Afghanistan. How could a man involved in war be repaying his debt of peace?
He is indebted to the Nobel Committee. It looks to me like a setup. It’s an “out” on that Afghanistan decision.

Real meaning? Certainly not since terrorist Yasser Arafat received it! From that time, the award has had no credibility at all.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee has embarrassed itself and cheapened a great award that had real meaning.
It’s meaningless and lost any meaning it had.
Oh, come on, Peggy. Not fair? Of course it's fair, because it's the truth...
*******
I hope that people like cowardly officials at Occidental College in California are happy now.
My point is this: If Occidental College officials had shown some courage and released Obama's college records---records that might show us that Obama enrolled as a foreign student as a freshman---during the 2008 campaign, Obama and the highly ridiculed Nobel Peace Prize committee would not be trapped in this public relations nightmare, because Obama would not be President of the United States today.
Uhhh, this is a scathing article about the Nobel Committee and Obama.
Did you even read it?
Yes, I believe it was for the crease in his pants.
we’ll never know for sure what the real reason was, but whatever the MSM is telling us is the reason, is not the reason. IMO
If you go back through the past year Noonan has started on some demented path of worshipping the leftists. She is not sane.
Yes, see post 1. At first scathing, then apologetic to bambi. Like I said, try as she might.......
Thanks for the ping!
when does the Present go and get the award and make his speech? Dec 10?....three months from now?
how can he possibly surge troops in Afghanistan before then?
how many more American troops will die before then with the silly ROE’s now in place?
on the other hand, maybe this will prevent him from invading Honduras
maybe.
I did like the line where she said it was given BY socialists, FOR socialists.
