Obama's Nobel Mood Prize

I can't say any headline has shocked me as much as the one I saw this morning, "Obama awarded Nobel Peace Prize." What?!? He hasn't even achieved a treaty of peace for the parties to ignore yet, let alone any actual progress towards peace. They literally recognized him for changing the global mood! That would be like a football coach getting awarded coach of the year, after only being coach for a few game (mostly losses), because he gave a couple of inspiring speeches and everyone hopes his team wins.

Here is what the headline SHOULD have said, "World Community encourages Obama to continue degrading US interest so they can gain power."

Here is what was mentioned beyond the "change in global mood":

...his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

This is simply the One World tyrants cheering the man who is dismantling the only remaining super power. Did you catch that "diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism" lingo? That is code for "Not doing anything we don't approve of". Who is "we"? That would be all the other nations that want to be the most powerful on the planet, so ultimately they can act unilaterally.

Sure they mention reducing nuclear arms, but he hasn't achieved anything real in this area, and he won't. Why would I be so negative? Let me see, maybe because I know that Russia, China, North Korea, and every other nation with any sense (a list that is getting shorter all the time) would not get rid of their nuclear arms. I am not negative, I just know a little bit about humans nature.

What about reducing tension with Muslims? Well he sure has talked a lot about that, but last time I checked Islamic extremists and their supporters were definitely taking advantage of Obama's extended hand of friendship. Unfortunately for us, as Obama stands there with his hand extended (or in some cases bowing in submission to Arab leaders), the Muslims are continuing to pursue Allah's command to "Then fight and slay the pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, and besiege them and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush."

The very bad news is how this award will encourage those Americans who think it is unfair that the US can act unilaterally if we need to. I would expect Obama's apologies for the US being strong to continue, if not increase. The joke is on us, we are getting an award for being ashamed of our actual achievements and surrendering our hard won position of power to our global competitors.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," said Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee.

Yes, I am sure he is getting the attention of the world’s leaders, and building their hope for a better future. Unfortunately for us, that better future includes transfering power and wealth to them from us. Yes, it is very rare that such an eloquent fool would be allowed to give away the hard won liberty of so many.
