Hot Air » Blog Archive » Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize. No, really.
Update: Even media Obamaphiles can’t believe it. Check out the Financial Times — “It is hard to point to a single place where Obama’s efforts have actually brought about peace” — or the Times of London, declaring that the committee’s made a mockery of the award.
Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.
Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace…
As Allah points out, they gave the Nobel to Arafat, which made it a standing joke - although it must be pointed out that Arafat actually signed some sort of peace agreement.
No, what Obama was just given can only be classified as affirmative action: the recipient didn’t actually earn it, you know, but he deserved it anyway - because of his leftist beliefs.
There’s also the probability that the committee regarded this as an apology and consolation prize to soothe the sting of Obama’s rejection by another international committee - the Olympic corruptocrats.

Deadline for submission of nominees. February 1.
Have the members of the committee recently deposited large sums of money?
Possibly from an organization funded by Soros?
Nothing like a conspiracy theory to start the weekend.
After 8 long dark years of denial, duplicity and death-dealing, it is surely a breath of fresh air that President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. Finally, leadership with vision and hope has been restored to a lost world. Perhaps now we can be encouraged by this great man so that others will exemplify his kind of new leadership; so that, as the Nobel Prize Committee stated to and for all in the world, more leaders will stand up, speak out loudly and clearly for “diplomacy…founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.” If ever there was reason to hope for a good enough future for the children, it is now. The vision of what is best for the majority of humanity and not for a malignantly narcissistic, pathologically arrogant and extremely greedy minority, is something easy to apprehend and even easier to actualize in democracies in which the majority does really rule. The majority of people in too many democracies in our time have been surreptitiously manipulated by a remarkably tiny group of super-rich and powerful people who appear to have maniacally exploited democratic principles and practices for their own selfish interests…..come what may for the majority of humanity, the future of children, life as we know it and the integrity of Earth.
Satire? Ifso, it’s worthy of SteveF.
Afraid it’s not satire, kennycan, it just reads like it.
You might check Simony’s web site, though you might get stupid all over yourself.
Or do a search of DP, searching for “Salmony”. You’ll see that ol’ unSavory stops by every now and again, announces his presence with a sound like a large dog farting, and is greeted with disbelief and derision. This time is no different.
He’s one of the deluded people that believe destroying humanity is the only way to save it.
He’s been practicing denial, duplicity, and death-dealing for 8 long dark years? But he’s only been President for less than year.
Of course you Obamasturbators probably know his history even better than I do. OTOH, I didn’t know even as clueless a bunch of asshole as the Nobel Committee awarded their Peace Prize for death-dealing.
That’s not what you meant?
Well, then, learn how to write, you illiterate, dumbass pinkfishy.
Why is it that the people who are most interested in reducing the world’s human population never volunteer?
Same reason that the people who send out the splodeydopes never strap on the C-4 corset themselves. Or the people who yell the most about taking care of the less fortunate don’t open their own wallets. Or the protestors outside abortion clinics don’t adopt or foster any unwanted babies themselves.
That’s the nice thing about Daily Pundit: You can see a diversity of dunderhead derision.
If I could quit laughing I might make a snarky comment.
Salmon, you’re just delusional. I doubt you know it, but you are simply delusional.
Will someone please call up and notify his keepers that ol’ Stevie Earl’s managed to pick the locks again and get back online?
Just tell ‘em to wrap him up in a couple of nice, wet sheets like they always do, and lock him in his room again - this happens every time someone over there gets a little sloppy; he starts thinking that, just ’cause they let him write some stuff on his “blog,” he actually makes sense, and people actually will somehow mistake him as being sane and intelligent, or something…
He can’t even spell Salmonella right.
