ALFRED NOBEL IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE

“Yo Obama! I’m really happy for you. I’mma let you finish, but I think this is one of the biggest travesties of all time!”

When I heard the news this morning that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize, I had to check my calendar to make sure that it isn’t April 1st and this isn’t an April Fools’ joke. Are you fucking kidding me?! Barack Obama is completely unworthy of the Peace Prize at this time. He has done nothing but read speeches from teleprompters, express his “hopes” for peace in the Middle East, and launch a war on capitalism that will eventually reduce the United States to the status of banana republic. Giving Obama the prize now is the equivalent of giving a runner a medal in the middle of the race. “Look, I know the race isn’t over yet, but I think you’re doing really well. You’ve got good speed, a nice stride, and I have a good feeling about you. So here you go.”

According to Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses" (Wikipedia). So what the fuck was the Nobel Prize selection committee thinking? I have long considered the Nobel Peace Prize a joke, after the awards to Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, Kofi Annan, Al Gore, and so on. Speaking of Al Gore, he received the Peace Prize for fighting climate change (presenting exaggerated models and pseudo facts while ignoring proven scientific data that do not support his conclusions). Now Barack “The Savior” Obama wins because he gave rousing speeches around the world on world peace and cooperation. LOL! (I’m actually laughing out loud). I can’t think of anything he has accomplished so far that even remotely deserves a nomination. If Obama was smart, he would respectfully decline the price.

What really pisses me off is the fact that Obama was nominated two weeks after he became President, and thus this is a totally political decision. The Nobel Prize selection committee believes that Obama will make great contributions to the world, but the potential or promise to do something does not equate to performance. It really is a shame to see the selection committee stoop so low. But an even greater shame is that so many other notable candidates for this prize have gone overlooked. This “prestigious” award, given to a man whose country is involved in endless wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, Middle East, and possibly Iran and North Korea), would have everyone believe that “war is peace” (Orwellian, anyone?).

No, wait a minute! Remember Obama’s “beer summit,” where he invited the black professor and the white cop to the White House to have a beer with him? Wasn’t that an example of “peace-making” by the President? Why didn’t the selection committee mention that?

I can now predict next year’s winner: Miss Universe…for saying she wants world peace.
