Obama's Problem With The Nobel

By now, you have heard that President Obama, has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 


Problem was and is, he was nominated without his knowledge, and the award was based on his work during the first 12 days in office. 


Hmmm.  


So, anyway, he's accepting the prize--knocking off 202 other contenders, who presumably have worked more than a dozen days toward getting us to stop killing one-another. So far, Mr. Obama has said he doesn't deserve the Nobel, but he'll take it anyway, because it is a sign for all who love peace and so on. 


In an Email I received today from Jon Vogel, President of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, I was told " The reaction from Rush Limbaughand others on the right-wing lunatic fringe? More cheerleading for America's failure. Rush even went so far as saying he agreed with the Taliban on this decision!"


From there, I was urged by Mr. Vogel to send the President a note of congratulations.

Now wait a minute! First, Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer, so why the heck do Democrats rise to the bait?  Every time Rush sneezes, Democrats run for the tissue afraid they are going to catch something. Ignore the guy. 

And as for sending a note of congrats to the President. Uh...look, with the President even admitting he doesn't deserve the Nobel, maybe the Dems should just well...smile, and take a pass at throwing political rocks.  When they bounce back, you can lose an eye that way! 


In my view, the President should have gratefully acknowledged the award, and asked the Nobel committee to find someone more worthy.  That would have been a classy thing to do, and also would have saved him from the scorn of lefties in his party who want the US out of both Afgahnistan and Iraq yesterday, and the Limbaughites who would attack the President even if he ended world hunger and bought everybody on the planet a pack of Bazooka Joe Bubble gum.


Bad tactics on the President's part.
