It seems that not so long ago I wrote this little
ditty when Al Gore was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for making a fraudulent "documentary" all about the threat of global warning. At the time I thought that the award had been reduced to being a worthless trinket, used mostly to reward people with far-left political leanings. And this morning the Nobel Prize committee proved me right.
Because, if anyone has missed the announcement, President Barack Hussein Obama...MMM-MMM-MMM...was just awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace! Now what he has done exaclty to earn the award is a mystery, since he hasn't accomplished one damned thing to promote a more peaceful world. And he was nominated for the prize after having been in office for an entire two weeks!!! But in that two weeks he evidently did enough to warrant a nomination, and in the time since he has obviously done enough to win the prize.
Maybe it was how he ended the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, or how he backed the North Koreans away from their long range missile tests, or his piece de resistance, his talking the Iranian regime down from the nuclear ledge. Or maybe it was his strong defense of freedom when the Iranian dissidents were protesting a clearly fraudulent election result, or how he made sure to welcome the Dali Lama at the White House in defiance of the wishes of the Chinese government, or maybe it was his strong stance with the Honduran Supreme Court and Congress when it ousted the would be dictator Manuel Zelaya from office.
Or maybe it was the brilliance with which Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handled the Russians in her first meeting with them, or decision to stand with Israel in the face of the growing nuclear menace known as the Islamic Republic of Iran. Or possibly it was his courageous stance against a resurgent taliban in Afghanistan, and the subsequent decision to allow General McChrystal to have the resources needed to implement the president's new and comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
But since this incompetent boob has done NONE OF THE ABOVE, why in the blue hell is he getting the Nobel Prize?!?! I suppose that just being "Not George Bush" is good enough, and people who have actually accomplished something meaningful (other than beating John McCain in an election) need not apply.
The Nobel Prize is, as I said before officially a worthless trinket.
So congratulations to President Barack H. Obama for winning....absolutely nothing!
