Mrs. Hun just asked me “Don’t you have to do something to win a Nobel Peace Prize”.

I just shook my head.......

I'm absolutely speechless! I know the Nobel Peace Prize has long since become a joke - Yassir Arafat? - but this goes beyond irony and into absurdity.

They awarded him the Nobel Prize simply because the Emperor of the World Award hasn’t been created yet.

The Nobel prize committee acted stupidly.

The Nobel march to irrelevancy is relentless.

Trust me, by 2012 a country full of very angry voters are going to much more pre-occupied with runaway inflation, double-digit unemployment, high interest rates, turning tail and running in Afghanistan and multi-trillion dollar deficits to be concerned with some stupid award that Barry won back in 2009.

By giving him the Nobel Prize, the International Community is telegraphing him that they expect more: disarmament, appeasement, foreign aid, and apologies.

BHO’s ego just increased 10X. At this rate, it will consume the universe by the end of his term.

Don’t forget Arafat, a peace-loving man if ever there was one.

This is hysterically funny. We all knew that the Nobel Peace Prize had become meaningless, but now it’s a joke!

“Yep, when all Bush did was free 25 million people from a sadistic tyrant.”

Clarification: President Bush liberated about 50 MILLION people. He liberated both Iraq and Afghanistan from horrific governments. He also stood up for each individuals right to life and saved millions of lives in Africa. He truly is a man of peace and a good Christian man as well. God help us with the perverse nature of the world today. Evil is really coming on strong.

He was in office for two weeks before the deadline closed for nominations and the man had done nothing
. . . except promise to close Gitmo, and bow to the king of Saudi Arabia.
won it for not being George Bush

and winning election to the presidency.
The Nobel prize committee did continue their fine tradition of choosing people who are anti Israel and anti American......so we can give them props for consistency......
Actually, what's the big deal? I mean, how much is the prize worth? George Soros would buy and sell the Nobel Committee. Not that he would have too . . .
