Less than a week after Saturday Night Live mocked President Obama for accomplishing absolutely NOTHING in his first nine months in office, the Nobel Foundation awards him the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, this is hardly surprising as the Nobel Foundation has been an anti-American, liberal organization for decades. Only Americans who openly criticize the U.S., without pointing out that the U.S. has been the most effective force for peace, freedom and liberty in human history, are eligible for the award. Therefore, Al Gore and Jimmy Carter are the most recent Americans to be awarded the prize. The Nobel voters must have felt that "tingle all up and down their legs" during Obama's international apology tour this year. This is most likely the accomplishment that so impressed the Nobel voters.
The most effective leaders who brought about peace in my lifetime were Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II. They ended the decades long cold war against an oppressive regime without ever firing a shot. They didn't win a Nobel Peace Prize; although Mikhail Gorbachev did. As did the unapologetic terrorist Yasser Arafat. Mohandas Gandhi never won either, although he was nominated five times. Is there any name more synonymous with peace than Gandhi?
The Los Angeles affiliate of CBS radio this morning likened the award to giving an emmy to a TV show still in production. I'm pretty certain that the international community is optimistic that Obama will finally bring about a European Socialism to the U.S., thus eliminating the world's biggest economic power, meaning competitor. I hope they regret their decision.
