Awards stopped meaning anything when they started passing out Nobel Peace prizes like candy.

Reality, facts, are concepts that do not exist in the world of the left.

The amount of personal courage Obama demonstrated is exactly equal to the amount of peace he brought to the world.

So if he deserves a Nobel Peace prize, he deserves this.

{pardon me while I go barf}

Caroline Kennedy was at her peak in Vaughn Meader’s “First Family.” Oh wait, that was fake.

Courage? I guess multiple acts of hardcore blatant treason takes courage?

Oh yeah...emulate an America destroyer...you, Caroline Kennedy, deserve the Idiot moniker you exhibit. Your father, with all his faults, at least wasn’t anti-American.

Of Course.

Nobel Peace Prize ... check

Award for Courage ... check

$60 million book deal ... check

Some ‘haters’ think he did nothing to deserve these things.

He’s the most peaceful, courageous, frugal US President in history.

I know all this because I heard it on CNN.

Will he ever have the courage to give us the honest truth about his life from the very beginning, his religious beliefs, his college grades and how he paid for it, his college applications, how he got a social security issued originally to a dead guy in Connecticut, and his part in the many major scandals in his failed administration?

Profile in Courage — Hah!

“I’m sorry your son was killed in Iraq. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to hop on AF-1 to my next fund raiser.”

“I’m sorry your son was killed in Afghanistan. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m next on the #1 tee.”

“I’m sorry, Ambassador Stevens, we can’t help you. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to get to bed. Have to get up early tomorrow for a fund raiser.”

Filthy scum bastard. I hope he rots for all eternity in Hell.

Appropriate, seeing as Profiles in Courage was ghost written for Kennedy and he took credit for it. So giving an award based on one liar and cheat, to a liar and cheat, is appropriate.

John F. Kennedy’s White House was considered “Camelot.”

Obama’s and Clinton’s as “come a lot.”

The only difference is that with Kennedy and Clinton women were involved.
