Next, Obama gets the Nobel prize in physics/astronomy for his work in demonstrating that the earth doesn’t revolve around the sun, it revolves around him. Heliocentrism is so racist.

Wait till next year when Duh-1 gets the Nobel prize for Literature.

At least he would have done SOMETHING to get it. Not earn it, understand, but at least something to get it. You might say that would be a make-up call for the committee because they blew it so badly with this one.

The award has become a joke and Obama is a joke so I think it’s only fitting.

Our two other sitting Presidents who received this award had been in office for over 5 years, and had accomplished things; T. Roosevelt for brokering a peace treaty between Russia and Japan, and W.Wilson with his 14 points that led to the League of Nations. Barry Obama was nominated 12 days after he took the oath of office. If he had any sense of honor, he would refuse it, and say that there absolutely must be someone on the list deserving of this great historical award!

In using Yassar Arafat and Jimmuh, one can only come to one conclusion: that if you supply the needs to kill not only “evil Jooos” but your own people (Arafat), or if you turn tail and run from any just cause (Jimmuh), you’re eligible for the phony “Peace” prize. Alfred must be spinning in his grave!

No wonder Blair and Bush didn’t even receive serious consideration – heck, they just went ahead and took out an ominous, beastial regime in Afghanistan and set in motion the overthrow and capture of a biological-weapons using dictator that had already murdered tens of thousands of his own countrymen.

Go figure.

Conservatives no not win the Nobel. Conservatives are not liked by those in charge of the Nobel awards. Conservative values are scorned in Sweden. Bush didn’t win–no surprise. Obama wins–no surprise. The difference—Berkely, CA vs Jackson, MS—get the picture.

Considering the overall mood of the Nobel Prize commission, which is basically anti-American, the reason Obama received the prize is because he is essentially anti-American. He does not celebrate any of the characteristics of American, which includes the ability to achieve by hard work and dedication. He does not celebrate the progress we have made or our overall capitalistic society. Instead he comes with an olive branch to the Muslim world –his first official presidential act was to give a television interview to them–and apologizes for Americans all around the world. He does not celebrate the American dream, instead he wants to destroy it by initiating socialize medicine, weakening the military, and controlling progress through Wall Street, the banking industry, and education. Today the primary focus of American education is socialism and how good it will be for this country. Ask anyone who has been to college lately! Obama celebrates the hand-outs to those who don’t achieve and punishes those who do. Yes, he is the perfect candidate for the prize; now you know what Europe thinks of us. The only difference here is that I don’t want to cater to those who we saved in WWII and now hate us.

No man of honesty and integrity could accept such an award with the knowledge that he did not earn it . This casts a deeper cloud over Obama’s values.

My first thought on reading Micheal Cohen's piece was: Oh, so that explains why the whole world is dumping the Dollar as the primary reserve currency" Liberals are such incredible dingbats. See my thoughts on the NPP Committee's decision to Award Obama here
