The Leftist We Like This Year Prize

Friday, October 9th, 2009

So President Obama has won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.  I woke up to hearing that this morning and I thought it was a joke.  The Nobel Peace Prize Committee lost credibility long ago, but this really tops it off.  I just….  I don’t know what to say.  I’m speechless.  The nomination had to be submitted by 10 days into his presidency.  Someone on the radio noted that when the president gave the commencement address at Arizona State University earlier this year, the university determined that he did not yet have enough of a body of work to merit an honorary degree; but apparently his existing body of work is plenty for the Nobel Peace Prize folks.

Maybe President Obama can give his $1.4 million prize to fund the Iranian human rights abuse investigative agency that his State Department recently defunded.  Oh wait — that was defunded because there are absolutely no human rights abuses in Iran these days worthy of investigation.

This thing is pretty comical, and I will try to laugh instead of cry, except that it’s deadly serious.  The security and freedom of our country and the world are at stake and we have leftists paling around with terrorists and dictators and world bodies applauding them for it.  Heaven help us.
