President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[SFL]

Go home!

[kcshocker11]

"Regardless of the circumstances, anytime somebody wins a Nobel Prize I think an appropriate response is to say, 'Congratulations'." Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty

I am proud of you Mr President! Having traveled the world for 30 yrs I know why you were voted for by the committee! Thank you!

agland said the committee whittled down a record pool of 205 nominations and had "several candidates until the last minute," but it became more obvious that "we couldn't get around these deep changes that are taking place" under Obama.

Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo in December to accept the prize.
"Let me be clear: I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said at the White House. "To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this prize."

Obama will donate the $1.4 million cash award that comes with the prize to charity.

For once, I couldn't agree more with the President. He doesn't deserve it. Any guesses as to "how big" the acceptance is going to be?

yes, well done. I just hope his charity isn't Acorn, Reverend Wright's church, or weather underground.

As a result of watchdog groups and an awakend American public, his opportunities are dwindling to waste taxpayer dollars by funneling them to his radical, anti-America Socialist friends so he may be required to personally donate the prize money to keep support flowing from them.



Correction, Obama won't consider it a waste, he loves giving money to and supporting anti-America factions. After all, they shaped and molded him and now he owes them payback, Chicago-style.

Which charities are considered anti-American factions?

There might be couple embedded in the modern version of this story I was sent via e-mail:

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.
How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'
ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.
President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.
The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and once peaceful, neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.

I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant - not a grasshopper! Make sure that you pass this on to other ants.
Don't bother sending it on to any grasshoppers because they wouldn't
understand it, anyway.

Get a hobby! 8) :whistle: :roll: 8)

[ISASO]

Maybe you're right.
I already have a job, own a small business, sit on a Board of Directors, serve on two committees at church and my kids' school.

Maybe I should start an organization like ACORN so I could defraud taxpayers and get hundreds of millions in exchange. Then I could give up all my "work" and have several hobbies.
Thanks for the advice.

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."

Than quit using your work computer to compose nonsense! :D 8)

If there wasn't this unprecedented level of nonsense going on, I suppose I wouldn't have a reason to post. Wouldn't that be Change we could Believe In.

Your right there, thank god Obama can rise above all the silliness! 8)

[ISASO]

Yes, and thank god Obama isn't a fan of the group which endorses old men giving BJ's to 18-month-old boys, like his choice for Safe Schools Czar.

Surely he doesn't endorse the beliefs of those he endorses, does he?

The conservative smear machine, still attempting to damage progressives by drawing shady guilt-by-association connections, is trying to link Kevin Jennings, the head of the Department of Education's Office of Safe & Drug Free Schools, to the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). It's no surprise that upon examining the facts, no such connection exists.

Wow you'll believe anything wont you? 8)

Please dont quote me any number of 6000 nut job blogs. As far as Obama being God hes not trying to rewrite the Bible! Get a life!
