And the Winner Is...
Things are looking up for the President.
I happen to have it on good authority that the Nobel Peace Prize is just the beginning of a slew of accolades to be bestowed upon Barack Obama. Below is but a sampling of the tributes in the works for His Awesomeness.
Like another great Renaissance man, Leonardo da Vinci, the President's abilities span multiple disciplines. Beyond his "accomplishments" in international diplomacy, his achievements, and most importantly, his immense potential, is being recognized in the areas of popular culture, sports, and music—just to highlight a few.
For example, People Magazine, in an upcoming special issue, will be naming our esteemed leader the Sexiest Man Alive for the tingle he's sent up the leg of Chris Matthews and the entire national press corps.
The prestigious Fred Flintstone bowling award will be given to Mr. Obama for the exemplary grace he demonstrated while rolling a stylish 37 on the campaign trail in Pennsylvania in 2008. Executive Director of the Flintstone Center for the Bowling Arts, Barnard F. Rubblinski, was effusive in his praise of the President's potential. He was overheard to say that with diligent practice and a little luck, the Bowler-in-Chief could be scoring in the 50's in no time at all.
Similarly, the President will be honored during the World Series with the Walter Matthau/Bad News Bears Memorial Award. It goes to the adult male who throws a pitch most resembling that of a 12-year old girl. I understand that Tatum O'Neal will be on hand to personally present the plaque.
And, early next year, the President will be heading to Cleveland for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Apparently, a Rolling Stone reporter heard Obama whistling The Who's, "We Won't Be Fooled Again," as he was boarding Air Force One in Copenhagen. Co-Founder and Publisher of the iconic music magazine, Jann Wenner, said the performance sent a chill up his spine, quite like when the Beatles landed at JFK in February of 1964.
Aren't we so very fortunate, just as those were who lived during the time of Michelangelo, Jefferson, de Tocqueville, and Churchill, to be in the midst of such greatness?
As the Chinese curse goes, "May you live in interesting times."
I feel a tingle up my leg.

I find this absolutely appalling. Perhaps the NFL should follow suit and select pro bowl wide receivers based on media tactics and shenanigans as opposed to their performance on the field. Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco would finally get the accolades that they tell us they deserve...

The irony is that it actually makes his job harder. If he sides with the Left (probably his natural instinct), it reinforces a growing sentiment among his critics (and some supporters) that he is weak and an appeaser...and in the back pocket of the party's most liberal elements. But, if he shuns the wishes of the Left (and the Nobel committee) and is resolute on terror, he risks alienating his base. They didn't do him any favors in Oslo.

I would have bet the ranch at 6am that I would see a commentary today regarding The Barack. The crowning from the Euro left was certainly not a surprise but more a opportunity to pause and reflect the significance of their action.
Forget the fact that it wasn't warranted but try focusing on the meaning behind the action. For years now the left of left have been waiting for their Messiah and finally after decades of waiting they now can jubilantly chant "In Barack we Trust.t" Although your humorous article provided me a moment to smile I can't help feeling like we the people are very much at risk. One voice, one people and one world is a very realistic desire of many in this country including Barack and his band of merry men. Todays action by the selection committee was not meant to select Barack as the winner of an old and worn out achievement; it was an action meant to crown the leader of one people and one world.
I am concerned about our future. The weak leadership of any opposition is no match for the Obama express. Unless someone emerges that can articulate with confidence a message of REAL change and I don't mean Sarah, Huckabuck, or the bookends from Louisiana and Minnesota, then our future will result in us having no voice and no choice.
Freedom as we know it will only be experienced from fond memories..

Tru dat... I heard Kanye West is planning to crash the next Nobel prize award ceremony because HosannaBama should also get the prize for chemistry since he has such....chemistry.
Poor Clinton, the only living Democratic President without a Nobel Peace Prize. Even his Dufus VP, Gore the Bore, got one. If only there were a Nobel Piece of Ass Prize, slick Willy would be a perennial winner

Absolutely hilarious - especially the Fred Flintstone award. Everyone onto the bandwagon.

I guess the Norwegian's aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer.
Here are some facts: The deadline for nominations for the peace prize was Feb 1st.....President Obama had been in office 11 days! It's bad enough that he has yet to accomplish anything....in 11 days he was luck to find the quickest way to the bathroom. Ever since they gave one to Al Gore I had lost respect for the honor. Now they have made it a joke. (I did not remember until I did some research that they also gave one to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat......they should at least share their drugs).
Want to hear some of the other past nominees? They include Adolf Hitler, Soviet Union Leader Joseph Stalin and Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini........is there another term for peace that I am missing?
How about Ronald Regan...."tear down that wall".......Why was he never nominated!?! "O" that's right, he was a conservative Republican.
I have had it with all of these left wing liberals. All of them throughout the world can pucker up and ........!!!!!!!!!!
