Not So Nobel: Part 2

CRUISING FOR COMMENTS

Marc Haines of CNBC: "Despite bombing the MOON, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize."



Jennifer Loven, AP: "He Won, But For What?"

Ana Marie Cox: Apparently Nobel prizes now being awarded to anyone who is not George Bush.

Inscription on the Plaque: Thanks for Not Being Bush

Abe Greenwald: "Obama makes an unprecedented, no-holds-barred effort before one international organization, the IOC, to obtain something for his country and fails in an immediate and spectacular manner. But after doing absolutely nothing, he wins a prize for himself from another international organization, the Nobel Committee, for insulting his country for nine months."

The Chicago democrat machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympic Committee, not the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.

Weekly Standard: "Is the Nobel Peace Prize some sort of consolation prize for losing the Olympics?"

What a joke. The prize created by Alfred Nobel, who invented dynamite, has created an award for Obama, the guy who is trying to blowup United States.

When Nobel Peace Prizes are awarded to people like Yasser Arafat, Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter, you know all you need to know about the Nobel Peace Prize.

Erick Erickson: "Obama is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter."

Frank J: "This makes a mockery of the prize. There is no way Obama has had time to accomplish as much peace as Arafat did."

The earth is officially cooling and Al Gore won the prize for what - fantasy?

PAST CONTROVERSIAL NOBEL SELECTIONS

Does anyone remember that Norway collaborated with Hitler awhile back? Does the name Quisling ring a bell? No wonder they couldn't agree on Gandhi. What more is there to say?

Newsweek: The Nobel shows Obama is still popular abroad. But that doesn't help much if the U.S. is seen as a banana republic.

We’ve heard a lot over the past few years about radicals trying to achieve their aims through “lawfare.” Here’s a new concept in asymmetric conflict: “prizefare.” The Nobel Committee was not rewarding Obama. It was attempting to geld him.

This award makes Obama an official member of the Socialist Admiration Society.

Reality has shrugged and exited stage right, allowing for his understudy Parody to take over the lead role for the next four years or so.

When I heard the announcement that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize I got the same feeling you get when you find out the truth about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny... it's all a lie.

White House Aide: "It's not April 1st, is it?"
