Obama's Nobel Prize of Pieces

In 2009, a decision was made by the Norwegian Nobel Committee that has raised questions and stirred controversy ever since. In that year, then newly elected American President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. With ample cause, many people - not only in the United States but around the world - wondered just what Obama had done to earn such an honor. In fact, as a fledgling new President with virtually no experience yet on the world stage and a limited political resume prior, the prevailing sense on Obama's receiving of the award was that it was based on simple comparison with his predecessor: Because the previous President, George W Bush, was undeniably aggressive and prone to warlike behavior, Obama, who immediately sought to reduce American involvement in foreign wars (though not to eliminate it, as Obama himself ran during his campaign on a promise to "double down on Afghanistan" while withdrawing from Iraq), was seen as a ray of hope by those longing for peace.

It’s more like thirty pieces of silver...

...many people...wondered just what Obama had done to earn such an honor...

There was nothing to wonder about.

He was black. He was a hard-left, radical ideologue. And he was a puppet of the One-Worlder cabal.

That's all it took.

Expect Lizzie Warren to also receive a NPP upon her fraudulent (s)election.

Bampster, Al Gore; What’s the difference?

I’d bet a bunch of silver that Soros bought the peace prize the same way he bought the presidency...twice.

The Nobel committee folks have forever tarnished the name of their prize. Ever since then I’ve looked upon the recipients with skepticism. If I met a peace prize winner I would automatically be unimpressed unless and until they showed they were deserving of being honored and/or respected.
