Obama's accomplishments made it easy for Nobel committee
The Constitutional Alamo ^ | 10/09/09 | Michael Naragon

Stunning. Befuddling. Disturbing. Words that used to be used to describe Nancy Pelosi’s plastic surgery record can now be applied to the Nobel committee once again. After choosing pseudo-religious environmentalist Al Gore in 2007 for his film, An Inconvenient Truth, the Nobel group has apparently decided to award the president its highest award for… hope?

In a statement issued by the committee, Obama was being honored for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Also cited by the Oslo, Norway group was Obama’s push to make the United Nations a preeminent force in international relations.

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee’s chairman gushed. And so the committee is giving this year’s peace award for the promise of hope and change. If you listen carefully in Oslo, you can just hear the members of the Nobel group chanting “Yes we can!”

What if anything can people involved in shooting sports do to try to avoid patronizing Nobel?

It is, and has been, nothing more than a “Leftist-of-the-year” award. Something like People magazine’s “most beautiful” Hollyturds.

Obama’s accomplishments made it easy for Nobel committee

What made it easy for the committe was that Obama's stack of papers was so short as to be non-existant. Some of the other nominees had files piled on top of each other, representing decades of work that they had performed. Who wants to read all that stuff?? Boring! Obama was a breeze. His file was basically a 3x5 card -- "I won".

It was easy.

That should put its relative worth into perspective...

Adding a little more perspective, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson were also awarded the Nobel Peace Price. Both were "progressives". Roosevelt's tag line was "walk softly and carry a big stick" and was famous for projecting American Naval power. Wilson involved the USA in a world war on foreign soil after running for reelection on a neutrality platform. In WWI 15 million people died and the aftermath saw the rise of the Soviet Union where 60 million people ultimately died as a result of the gulags. Wilson also has the legacy of the Federal Income Tax and the Federal Reserve.....

Adolph Hitler, Man of the YearGreatest single news event of 1938 took place on September 29, when four statesmen met at the Führerhaus, in Munich, to redraw the map of Europe. The three visiting statesmen at that historic conference were Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain, Premier Edouard Daladier of France, and Dictator Benito Mussolini of Italy. But by all odds the dominating figure at Munich was the German host, Adolf Hitler. more...

In spite of 11 days in office, the left will generally see this as validation of their President. Critical thought of how 11 days as POTUS would somehow earn any award will not enter into it.

In fact, I’m still trying to understand what exactly Obama accomplished in his post-university professional life that warrants “leader of the free world” status. Seriously - what has this guy done to earn it?

I just figured out what this is probably about — our screwing of Poland and Czech by dropping the missile shield.

You forgot...
1. Nice crease in his trousers
2. Dog picking skills

Wait, the second one doesn't apply anymore. Did't you read the article about his dog pooping on the floor of Air Force One?
