WASHINGTON (CNN) – "Certainly from our standpoint, this gives us a sense of momentum — when the United States has accolades tossed its way, rather than shoes."
That's the take of Hillary Clinton's State Department on President Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, according to her spokesman, Assistant Secretary PJ Crowley.
Pink You've got to try Tito's vodka. I'm tellin' you it's better than Stoley or Grey Goose or Ketel One. And made in America! No import tax, too. Really smooth vodka.
They may think that giving the Nobel Peace Prize to a profoundly unqualified recipient is a "giant f*ck you to George Bush" but in fact it's quite the opposite. It demonstrates, as if it needed be, that the prevailing Leftist Western mindset had no idea what "peace" means, let alone what it costs. Peace is not something awarded to a posturing dilettante by a panel of political hacks. Peace is won by the men & women willing to fight for it & willing to die for it.
All these pompous fools at the Nobel Committee were willing to do is "make a statement" expressing the unbounded depths of their gullibility.
This award is nothing more or less than a manifestation of the tendency of certain politically correct drones to provide the narcissistic supply to America's Pollyanna President.
"But Bobby Muller, who won the Nobel Prize as co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, told The Times: "I don't have the highest regard for the thinking or process of the Nobel committee. Maybe Norway should give it to Sweden so they can more properly handle the Peace Prize along with all the other Nobel prizes."
The kids are driving me nuts, but driving the wife more nuts.
Had to get Fat Kitteh from the vet. He had to have surgery -- he's got a line of staples 4" long down his left side. Obviously he got into one heck of a fight.
I guess he should count himself lucky he wasn't eaten by a coyote -- the vet told me that in the last couple months several of his clients found parts of their cats scattered on the lawn in the morning.
"Obama said on Friday morning that he will accept this award as “a call to action.” Action on whose behalf? The five Norwegians who make up the Nobel peace prize committee chose to give him this award, for their own purposes. Obama, and America, owe them nothing. The real hope is that Obama will remember he took an oath (twice) not to serve as global spokesman for the Norwegian Nobel Committee, but “to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.” Before his presidency is over, keeping faith with that oath may require him to do things would knock the stuffing out of the featherbed philosophy of this sanctimonious crowd of Scandinavian free-riders."
Re: the Hizbullah thing, I suspect what will happen is that there will be a slew of really bad terrorist attacks and other bits of nastiness; in the aftermath, Obama will say "they lied to me! I trusted them!" in the same way as Dimmeh Carter did. He will then make all sorts of contradictory noises and do a few scattered and largely pointless things. For his efforts he will get no love from either Right or Left. His presidency will end in disgrace as he is repudiated by all sides.
With respect to politics in this country, the result might be healthy. His own party repudiating him might, in fact, be the necessary means for eliminating race as a political issue. The problem is, how much damage will he do in the meantime?
Do you think Obama is sitting there saying to Michelle "Why are people so upset? Why don't they think I deserve this? Can't they see how wonderfully wonderful I am? Maybe they are just jealous of my awesomeness"

President Obama is working to restore American leadership worldwide and build bonds of friendship across the globe. The Nobel Peace Prize is a testament to his leadership and vision and a tribute to American values. I offer my congratulations to President Obama on this outstanding achievement.
Diplomacy and cooperation are the cornerstones of a strong, effective foreign policy. President Obama has worked tirelessly to put these principles into practice. In an age when the actions of one nation can affect the future of all nations, the President has recognized the need for global solutions to our most pressing challenges. And he is rallying the world around the common causes of building a world free of nuclear weapons, combating climate change, defeating the forces of terror, securing human rights, and pursuing peace among all nations.
President Obama is working to restore American leadership worldwide and build bonds of friendship across the globe. I just threw up in my mouth a little. /dabs corners of lips with hanky
“By ushering in a period of optimism in American politics, President Obama has become a great source of pride and inspiration for many Americans. I congratulate the President on this tremendous honor that he has earned with his dedication to a new type of politics based on hope instead of fear. I am confident that the President will work to continue to live up the ideals of this award throughout his term in office.”

sasquatchonsteroids said... crap, what a lousy f***ing day for sanity. Good thing it was a Friday, huh? At least we can sleep our hangovers off tomorrow!
Y'know, my first reaction was despair at the news, but the more I've read of the responses, the more I've come to believe that this may end up being one of the worst things that could have happened to him.
Yasser Arafat won a Nobel Peace Prize, too. In a way, though, this comparison is unfair to Arafat, who, by signing the Oslo Accords, had at least accomplished something on paper. What has Barack Obama, in office less than nine months, actually done to promote peace?
Besides the beer summit, we mean.
You see the problem here. The jokes write themselves. Six days ago, "Saturday Night Live" was mocking Obama for having accomplished nothing, and the president's media protectors were crying foul. After all, can't expect a guy to accomplish very much in a few short months. But the incongruity of this staggeringly premature honor--the equivalent of a lifetime-achievement Oscar for a child star--makes yesterday's satire into today's news. Thus Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press:
The awarding of the Nobel Peace Price to President Barack Obama landed with a shock on darkened, still-asleep Washington. He won! For what? . . .
The prize seems to be more for Obama's promise than for his performance. Work on the president's ambitious agenda, both at home and abroad, is barely underway, much less finished. He has no standout moment of victory that would seem to warrant a verdict as sweeping as that issued by the Nobel committee.
And what about peace? Obama is running two wars in the Muslim world--in Iraq and Afghanistan--and can't get a climate change bill through his own Congress.
His scorecard for the year is largely an "incomplete," if he's being graded.
Loven goes on to list the promises yet unkept: closing Guantanamo, bringing the troops home from Iraq, making peace between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, etc. The only thing missing is "Live, from New York . . .!"
Lucius, I read Taranto's take earlier, and I'm inclined to agree with him. This is already spinning out into an embarrassment for the White House. Obama is... Harriet Miers, essentially. Just as I'm sure Miers eventually wished Bush had simply lost her phone number, so, I'm guessing, will Obama wish (if he doesn't already) that Pete Seeger had won the damn thing.
Lucious, I saw that story when it broke yesterday. ABC said at that time there was also a report of neonazi as well as anarchist stuff in the house. What a bunch of kooks.
Thanks Brandy. Interestingly, the first reports mentioned neo-Nazi and anarchist literature but said he wasn't known to be affiliated with any right-wing groups. (Wrap your head around that one, eh?) None of the stories today have mentioned anything of the kind. Methinks someone was pulling "facts" out of their ass yesterday.
A meme I've seen in a few places: libs are actually more upset about the Nobel Piece Prize going to a rookie (at best) than conservatives. Conservatives already consider the "prize" a joke anyhow, while libs still take it seriously.
Well, my daughter went into my bathroom, got my nail scissors and cut off about half of her hair. And not in any orderly way. She looks horrible -- tomorrow her mother will have to take her to get a real haircut.

ReplyDeleteEven in Norway, where Mr. Obama enjoys huge popularity, the decision raised eyebrows among some. "It is just too soon," said Siv Jensen, leader of Norway's main opposition party, the Progress Party. "It is wrong to give him the peace prize for his ambition. You should receive it for results."
She said that the decision to bestow the award on the president was the most controversial she could remember and was one of a number that had moved the prize further away from the ideals of Alfred Nobel.
Re: the Hizbullah thing, I suspect what will happen is that there will be a slew of really bad terrorist attacks and other bits of nastiness; in the aftermath, Obama will say "they lied to me!

ReplyDeleteNobel Peace Prize Awarded to President Obama
October 9th, 2009 by Speaker Pelosi
President Obama is working to restore American leadership worldwide and build bonds of friendship across the globe. The Nobel Peace Prize is a testament to his leadership and vision and a tribute to American values. I offer my congratulations to President Obama on this outstanding achievement.
Diplomacy and cooperation are the cornerstones of a strong, effective foreign policy. President Obama has worked tirelessly to put these principles into practice. In an age when the actions of one nation can affect the future of all nations, the President has recognized the need for global solutions to our most pressing challenges.

ReplyDeleteKind of the way my head feels right now.
Oh Noes! the Mediteranean sea has the Swine Flu!
ReplyDeleteHow's this, Sasquatch.

The Med has swine flu?
How's this, Sasquatch.
ReplyDeleteThere's a worm in there.
Cool.
*tip*
You know, the politicos on the left keeps claiming Obama has ushered in an era of "optimism", "bi-partisanship", "hope", yada, yada, yada.....
ReplyDeleteDid someone legalize drugs and forget to tell the rest of us?
TFK - I wanna go with you! Can I? PLEASE? PLEASE? ;)
ReplyDeleteLucious, I saw that story when it broke yesterday. ABC said at that time there was also a report of neonazi as well as anarchist stuff in the house. What a bunch of kooks.
ReplyDelete(you really have to listen to the words -- it's pretty funny)
ReplyDeleteyou were right about the cough syrup ref, of course.
There's words to that song ?

Thanks Brandy. Interestingly, the first reports mentioned neo-Nazi and anarchist literature but said he wasn't known to be affiliated with any right-wing groups. (Wrap your head around that one, eh?) None of the stories today have mentioned anything of the kind. Methinks someone was pulling "facts" out of their ass yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm home! How's everybody this lovely evening?
ReplyDeleteDoppel, saw that too. Don'tcha just love the MSM.
ReplyDeleteGroovy
ReplyDeleteHi Dianna! Here, have a bowl of gumbo :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, Dianna!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pink. I hope it's mild? Or is that sacrilege?
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Dianna! Here, pull up a seat.
ReplyDeleteHi, doppelganglander!
ReplyDeleteHow is the evening treating you?
A meme I've seen in a few places: libs are actually more upset about the Nobel Piece Prize going to a rookie (at best) than conservatives. Conservatives already consider the "prize" a joke anyhow, while libs still take it seriously.
ReplyDeleteGotta run along now. Have a good evening, all!
Sasquatch, those singers made me think of this picture.
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening yourself, F2!
ReplyDeleteQuite spicy, Dianna. Perfect, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, F2, see you soon.
ReplyDeleteDianna! So nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteEverytime I see your name in my address book it reminds me how far behind I am on the witchcraft project.
Diana, welcome to the pub. May I get you a drink on the house?
ReplyDeleteHow does one quote? Just cut and paste?
ReplyDeleteSasquatch, those singers made me think of this picture.
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO.
Look at the pretty colors...
3-1 Twins, bottom of the ninth.
ReplyDelete/and here comes Joe Nathan for the last three Yankee outs
Hi Killian, would you like a drink?
ReplyDeleteI'm doing well, thanks, Dianna. How is the book coming along?
ReplyDeleteBar Wench, I'll take a glass of any red wine, and thank you!
ReplyDeleteLucius, it's good to see you. I still wait for your work.
Hi, every one! I'm pulling up a seat.
Forgive me for stepping out for a couple minutes - I need to set up my glass and clear a couple things off my home desk.

ReplyDeleteSweet! Where are they in the lineup ?
Dianna, how did your business with "numbers" go?
ReplyDeleteMay we assume you are in the numbers racket?

Texeira just got a single to right.

I balanced two months to the penny and made pretty charts.
Running numbers would probably be more fun, but this was much less likely to land me in jail.
So it's a wash.
Okay, Dianna... you're in the "olive oil importing business"... got it. /wink
ReplyDeleteDiana, here's your wine. It's on the house tonight.
ReplyDelete2 run homer for A-Rod
ReplyDeleteAll tied up, no outs.
Tie game.

ReplyDeleteAnd no one is to make jokes about the uncle delivered in a barrel of kalamata olives.
Fresh thread upstairs. ----->
ReplyDeleteThanks pink.
ReplyDeleteWell, my daughter went into my bathroom, got my nail scissors and cut off about half of her hair. And not in any orderly way. She looks horrible -- tomorrow her mother will have to take her to get a real haircut.
ReplyDeleteIt will be the first time her hair, her long, lovely, curly, blond hair, has ever been cut.
*sigh*
Earlier today she decided to make me a birthday cake (about a month late) and to that end broke 14 eggs into a bowl.
We had quiche for dinner.
