It was fun, but there are plenty of active threads on Obama's Nobel prize joke. Bandwidth doesn't come cheap. Thanks for your cooperation. Freep on! And don't forget to donate ;)
thanks for the laugh :), control freak mod
God bless you!!! Please, let’s get back to the real FreeRepublic.
I did not start any vanity threads. Not one time. And I did not tell those FReepers to either.
Now, I need to get back to working for the American people.
Thanks for a hilarious afternoon!

I have been playing golf all day, just sat down for the first time. One word. Why?
Thank you!! It was one of the best, laugh-filled afternoons I’ve had since.... November 2008.
There goes my evening’s entertainment.
Large outbreak of sarcastic, and hilarious “Obama hung the moon” posts dominated.
About the Peace Prize thingie.
Yeah, it was fun while it lasted, but it’s time to put this to sleep.
Huge and serious stress reliever ... thank you!
We won’t believe this until we hear from the sidebar moderator or Jim Thompson........
I think we all reached a breaking point today...thanks for the leeway Moderators. The humour was much needed!
We appreciate your patience today thanks for the laughs and the lattitude.
Well? What did you shoot?
Folks are having a bit of fun with Obama winning an undeserved (and now discounted) award. So, they been posting threads about The One winning all sorts of off-the-wall titles.
One thread with all the permutations would get the job done. One thread per suggestion, however...adds up to a lot of bandwidth.
October 9,2009
Toronto, Ontario (Canada)- In keeping with his overwhelming contribution to the Pittsburgh Penguins run to the Stanley Cup in June the Penguins petitioned the NHL to add President Barack Obama’s name to their legacy on North America’s oldest contested trophy in major professional sports; the Stanley Cup.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman immediately agreed to the inclusion.
“It goes without saying that a man that can win the Nobel Peace Prize despite being in office a mere 12 days obviously had a greater impact on the Pittsburgh Penguins run to hockey immortality last spring than the sporting world can even comprehend.” stated Bettman from NHL offices in New York City.
Sidney Crosby added, “Many people think that it was Geno and I that have a major role in leading this team. They’ll point to Max’s (Talbot) two goals in game seven as a great contributor to our ultimate victory. However without Barack Hussein Obama there would be no Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh this year and we needed to acknowledge that. Hopefully this petition will rectify a small oversight on the team’s part.”
When notified of the petition Kris Draper of the Detroit Red Wings, last year’s league runner up, quipped, “Well I don’t recall Obama in the handshake line. Do you? Perhaps he wasn’t aware that Lidstrom was there waiting for him to shake his hand. Previously Nick has been the epitome of sportsmanship and it really speaks to the unprofessional nature and lack of sportsmanship of the guy to leave him there mid ice. What, does he think he’s President of something?”
There were unconfirmed rumors elsewhere in the city of Pittsburgh that Santonio Holmes was prepared to relinquish his MVP status from Super Bowl XLIII in favor of the overlooked Obama. As of deadline neither a representative of Holmes or the Steelers have returned phone calls for comment.
Major League Baseball teams have become aware of the overwhelming contributions of Barack Hussein Obama to each of their teams during the playoffs unfolding on the national stage. It is as yet unclear which team will benefit most from his presence or how the winning team will acknowledge his role in their championship caliber play. Major League Baseball apparently though is prepared to accept naming President Obama playoff MVP and allow the President to accept a phone call from himself in congratulations of winning both the World Series trophy and playoff MVP award.
White House press spokesman Robert Gibbs enthused, “People think the President just gives TV interviews and doesn’t really govern. Well this shows that our President participates in more things than we are even aware of as White House staffers. It’s a testament of the change he said he’d bring to the White House. He’s been given the Nobel Peace Prize and petitioned to be immortalized on the Stanley Cup on the same day. It’s even rumored that the NFL is prepared to reopen its awarding of Super Bowl MVP on the basis of his excellence in all aspects of life.”
More to follow.
