In one of the most surreal and unusual days since the creation of the earth our President has been awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and an Oscar.
These awards will join his Nobel Prize on the mantel along with his numerous other awards including;
Olympic gold medals for both the summer decathlon and the Winter Olympic medals in figure skating.
-MTV music award presented by Kanye West
-Grammy Award for thinking about writing a riff for a rap song
-Masters Green Jacket because everyone at Augusta National figured he would probably set a course record if he felt like it.
-Super Bowl MVP trophy because the owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers assured everybody last year that Obama was chiefly responsible for their win
Eagle Scout Award-for his efforts in encouraging "safe school czar" Kevin Jennings to take up scouting.
-Emmy Award for his innumerable television appearances
His Pulitzer Prize was awarded, stated the committee, not for any writing that he may have done, but because of the idea that he may write a book in the future and it would most assuredly be "one of the most profound works of literature since the Bible and Shakespeare."
The Oscar was for awarded for Producer, Director, Screenplay, and Best Picture for his work on home video he shot of the family at the Grand Canyon. A movie reviewed by the New York times to be a "seminal moment in cinematic history" that would "revolutionize the way we see a family exploring the inner workings of family desperately trying to save the world".
Some have said that Orson Wells may have plagiarized large portions of Citizen Kane in homage to the Obama movies of the past. While Steven Speilberg has stated that the Hussein family has inspired roles in several of his movies, most notably Hans Solo's companion and co-pilot whose name shall not be mentioned.
Still up for consideration for the Congressional Medal of Honor, Wimbledon championship trophy and of course NBA Player of the Year honors are left ...... for later this week.
All I can say is
BTTT
I could not have said it any better. Great post!
BHO has won a Pulitzer Prize for not even writing a bloody news article and an Oscar for not even starring in a movie.
Here in Texas (my “temporary” home), they’re making jokes that Obama will also win the Heisman Trophy.
I gave him a Gold Star on his homework today too!
excellent
I thought his Oscar was for the Lifetime Lack of Achievement award. He also won the Congressional Medal of Honor for conspicuous procrastination in the face of the enemy.
Oh, but he has made known his INTENTIONS to write an article, to win the US Open, and to star in a movie.
I heard he was notified of these awards just as he finished golfing. It was a spectacular round where he hit 18 holes in one!
The devil (and his minions) cannot abide scorn.
This award will invite just that.
I just woke up and my husband asked me if I wanted to hear the “outrage of the day” (there is always a “outrage of the day”. Then he adjusted that to say it was the “outrage of outrages”. When he told me that BHO had been awarded the NPP, I said “FOR WHAT?”
I pulled up Drudge to see he has the same headline...”For What?”
The fix is in folks, the fix is in...

On international relations/peace:
- The Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and opposes a peace treaty with Israel, said the award was premature at best. “Obama has a long way to go still and lots of work to do before he can deserve a reward,” said Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri. “Obama only made promises and did not contribute any substance to world peace. And he has not done anything to ensure justice for the sake of Arab and Muslim causes.” - Kyiv Post
That’s coming from his phonebankers during the election (remember):

I guess he ‘created’ jobs somewhere.
Add Mother Teresa to those who did not win the Peace Prize. It’s completely meaningless.
“Add Mother Teresa to those who did not win the Peace Prize. Its completely meaningless.”
Uh, she won it in 1979.
