Obama “Wins” the No-balls Peace Prize
October 10, 2009
Yay! Everyone’s favorite rock star, Obama, has “won” the Nobel Peace Prize. You may note that the word “won” is in quotation marks. That’s because when one “wins” an award, it is generally presumed that one has done something to earn said award. Our rock star prez, however, has done nothing… less than nothing, actually. As a matter of fact, he had done less than nothing even BEFORE he became the president! He was a junior Senator who was a… what was it? Oh, yeah, community organizer… I have yet to really have the definition of that occupation provided to me… outside of the ACORN definition, that is.
Well, at any rate, I could say that it’s not surprising that Obama won because he is, after all, the Messiah, and I’m not surprised that the whole world is puckering up to kiss his ass, but that would be a lie. I am surprised. Very. And, judging by the gasp heard round the world, so was everyone else including President Obama himself. Today he said, “Let me be clear. I do not view it as recognition of my own accomplishments but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations”. Well, Mr. Rock-Star-Prez, let ME be clear, this is not YOU winning the Nobel Peace Prize. This is George W. Bush NOT winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Does the world outside of America really need to keep telling us how much they hated Bush? Hey, you guys like the semi-socialist, pansy version of America. We get it already.
Let’s be honest, though. The Nobel Prize lost all validity the day they gave it to Yasser Arafat for “efforts to create peace in the Middle East”. Not to mention that crazy old anti-Semite, Jimmy Carter, back in 2002. The lack of validity was only furthered when everyone’s favorite pompous hypocrite, Al Gore, won in 2007. So, forgive me if I am not overly impressed by the clearly politically motivated award. They might as well put them in Cracker Jack boxes, as far as I am concerned. But, silly me, I did think that you would have to have more than a 1 page resume to “earn” one of those babies. Obama said the award was “deeply humbling,” and said he doesn’t think he deserves to be in such good company.
Ya think?!?!?
Obama had only been in office for 11 days when he had been nominated. Every other person who won this award has been nominated for their life’s work (fruitless and fraudulent as it may be) not their WEEK’S WORK! Last year when I was in Washington, D.C. I took a tour of the Whitehouse and I was there for a whole 30 minutes. Where the hell is MY Nobel Peace Prize?
“O-M-G! I have never heard of that prize but I’m sure it’s like, even more awesome that a MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARD!” All we need now in Kanye West interrupting this award with a “I’mma let you finish” speech and the transformation from Community Organizer to rock star will be complete.
