Posted on 10/09/2009 9:57:22 AM PDT by Til I am the last man standing

I'm just asking. Is it even legal for him to accept it while in office?

I imagine he’ll donate the money to charity...

Hey, isn’t ACORN a charity?

It’s is all fitting and proper to ask if this guy, that so seeks the approval of the world, will see his “award” as a command to adhere to the anti-U.S. agenda even more and forsake our interest in order o keep the accolades flowing in.

Oh, you know he won’t “keep” the money. But it sure is a psychological bribe of the first order.

The RNC wonders what else Obama should win, and suggests these options:

option 1:1. Heisman Trophy
option 2:2. Hollywood Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award
option 3:3. Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius Award
option 4:4. America’s Next Top Model
option 5:5. Humility In Action Award From Arianna Huffington

I believe that all gifts while he is in office must be turned over to the government and are the property of the people.

“I imagine he’ll donate the money to charity...”

That would be Charity 0bama, his cross-dressing alter ego...

The hard left doesn’t give to charity.

Rush Limbaugh was talking about this for the lat 10 minutes. He says it is an attempt on the part of the Nobel Committee to manipulate our prosecution of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Is he going to use it to get his relatives back home out of their mud huts?

You wouldn’t get a jury to convince, but yeah, basically. It’s not about the money, though. It’s about the award itself. Rush was just saying the award is a straight-jacket, not that Obama sees it that way. It is the international leftist establishment saying to him, “You better stay the course. Don’t slide into America’s old ways. Keep up the self-flagellation, genuflection, and waffling.”

donate it to Detroit. Or use it to pay back the cost of the flight to Norway to pick up his medallion.
