• February 15, 2012

So! Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning and everyone on Earth—and the moon, way 2 stick it out moon!—could not be more surprised. Look at Robert Gibbs, just cold saying “wow” on a Twitter thing belonging to CBS person Mark Knoller! And “Erick Erickson,” some sort of retarded cousin of Robbie Robertson and #1 journalist on top Internet destination RedState.com is just a little caught off guard because he “did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it.” Someone get Erick Erickson every single gold medal from the 2016 Olympics.

Barry is the third sitting U.S. President to win the Peace Prize, the other two being Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt, and the Nobel Committee explains his win thusly:

“Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting.”

The deadline for Nobel nominations was February 1st, which according to Republicans, who have desk calendars, is perilously close—TOO close, really—to when Obama first took office on January 20th. In fact, who’s the say that February 1st is even technically after January 20th?? The European Nobel people? But after you factor in the time difference, who knows…

O, yes, today will be like 9/11 x War x Twitter for the batshit section of the Internet today.

Well, at least this clears up that the “Nobel Peace Prize” is utterly meaningless.

What?

P.S. In 1938, the Nobel Committee was torn between awarding the NPP to two candidates: Adolf Hitler and Gandhi. To bad Hopey was not around for that contest.

[re=430520]Neilist[/re]: Actually, in 1938 they wimped out and gave it to some sissy “International Office for Refugees”

The Norwegians pussied out again on giving it to the clearly deserving Gandhi after India’s independence and the end of the war, because it might have pissed off the Brits who were still sore about losing their empire. Then Gandhi got assassinated.

So yeah: the greatest peaceful leader of the 20th century never got the Prize. But that warmongering asshole Teddy Roosevelt did! And so did Yasser Arafat!

“There is no way Barack Obama earned it in the nominations period.”
Probably not on his own. Simply not being George Bush kind of turns the NPP into a trophy for participation.

Mustang October 9, 2009 at 10:33 am

What I love in my heart is Obama’s winning this prize in the face of stuff like “Smartest Pundit in the World” George Will’s column yesterday about how egotistical Obama is. The closing graph of Will’s piece —

“Presidents often come to be characterized by particular adjectives: “honest” Abe Lincoln, “Grover the Good” Cleveland, “energetic” Theodore Roosevelt, “idealistic” Woodrow Wilson, “Silent Cal” Coolidge, “confident” FDR, “likable” Ike Eisenhower. Less happily, there were “Tricky Dick” Nixon and “Slick Willie” Clinton. Unhappy will be a president whose defining adjective is “vain.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA when George woke up this morning to his clock radio set on NPR telling him the bad news. Guess what? Obama really IS jack shit.

Wow, and the election made me Finally Happy but this!!! I’ve been working so just got to Wonkette although I knew Bar got the prize early this morning. the icing on my cake would be if this put one of the FOX media whores over the top and a heart attack, OD or drunken driving over a cliff took one of them out- or Mark Sanford resigns.

This is kinda long, but Josh Marshall at TPM wrote this:


But the unmistakable message of the award is one of the consequences of a period in which the most powerful country in the world, the ‘hyper-power’ as the French have it, became the focus of destabilization and in real if limited ways lawlessness. A harsh judgment, yes. But a dark period. And Obama has begun, if fitfully and very imperfectly to many of his supporters, to steer the ship of state in a different direction. If that seems like a meager accomplishment to many of the usual Washington types it’s a profound reflection of their own enablement of the Bush era and how compromised they are by it, how much they perpetuated the belief that it was ‘normal history’ rather than dark aberration.

Yesterday, Newt Ginrich’s people called assuming I’d sign up for his pre-Presidential committee ’cause I am a middle aged white guy and what not.

i love that the conclusion both the wingnuts and msm have come to is: “barack obama embarrasses himself & the nation by winning nobel peace prize.” the onion couldn’t have come up with anything better if they tried.
how on earth will obama recover from this terrible shame that he has brought upon his family?

I’m a big Hopey fan, but I had to say, my first reaction to the headline was to check to see if it was linked to The Onion. This is really goofy. Fun watching the wingnuts implode, but sheesh, let the man DO something first. He got the award for being Not Bush, which is lamer than Dick Cheney at the inauguration.

Christ- you are all so miserable. What is up with you all- it is Friday and Bar won a prize. 3/4 of you sound like Fox which I never watch but only see or hear via Jon, Rachel or Wonkette. Believe me, people bitch about all the Nobel prizes and who should have won them but usually they are people who might have won. I’m prety sure none of you were in contention You are truly Harry Reid – let’s just see how we can make this bad- just like our majority in the House and Senate. Go get drunk or high or something

Just yesterday afternoon in the library I heard one angry-looking middle-aged white guy say to another, “Did you see where Obama surrendered to the Taliban? Can you imagine if he’d been president during World War Two?” This was an apparent reference to the administration’s new efforts to bring the Taliban into the political process in Afghanistan in order to further de-legitimize and isolate Al Qaeda. Which in theory might not be a bad idea, and I had to bite my tongue from engaging the guy on it. I imagine he saw the news this morning and stroked out, which means I’ll never see him in the library ever again.

Chandavkl October 10, 2009 at 1:17 am

When I heard that President Obama won this year’s Nobel Peace Prize I immediately thought of an item that ran in Mad Magazine about 1960. It was a fake news story announcing a forthcoming movie about the life of Paul Anka, who had scored his first hit record in 1957, and followed it up with several other hits in 1958, 1959 and 1960. The punch line was that the running time for “The Paul Anka Story” movie would be three minutes. Quite similarly, in the same way that 1960 was too early for a biopic on Paul Anka, 2009 is too early to award President Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize.

zhubajie October 10, 2009 at 6:23 am

Probably Norwegian politics is involved.

We could give GW Bush an alternative award. I propose the PLEXIGLASS BELLY-BUTTON, so that he can see where he is going, even though he has his head permanently up his ass.
