Obama What?

It's taken me all day to peel my jaw off the floor. After several failed attempts at a comment this arrived via email:

...your least favorite President won a Nobel PEACE Prize today. Could you possibly post that to VOKL just as it is, without an obscure link to an hour read about righty something or other that you didn't write? 

And away we go. Let's get something straight right off the top. Obama "won" nothing. Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize. That is a far cry from actually, you know, earning it.

And let's understand something about the Noble Peace Prize: Just like the Pulitzers and the Oscars, Nobel Peace Prizes are politicized. Today they're are all just awards from the left to the left for being left.  

And now a link to "righty something or other":

Virtually everybody - Right, Left and Media - agrees that awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama is somewhere between premature and ridiculous. The Nobel Peace Prize Committee has beclowned itself again.

Beclowned itself. You think they would have learned with Arafat, Le Duc Tho, Carter and Gore already.

And now a link to lefty "something or other":

Obama was being honored for the hope of what he might accomplish as opposed to what he has actually achieved.

And back to reality again:

Months after Americans learned to dismiss Mr. Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign slogans as the bromides they were, Scandinavians apparently are still drinking his Kool-aid.

 So let the record show.
