RSSWhat a Joke, Barack Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize Before Actually Accomplishing Anything
So now we are giving Peace Prizes for Hope? How about one actually does something before
they win something? Not when it comes to the Obamamessiah. Beam me up Scottie.
What an absolute joke. President Barack Obama has wins the Nobel Peace Prize for giving the world “hope for a better future” and striving for nuclear disarmament. The Nobel Peace Prize committee, if they had not already done so with previous choices like Yasser Arafat and Jimmy Carter, has all but discredited the award. It now means nothing. Who knew that accomplishing nothing, absolutely nothing gained one the Nobel Peace Prize.
U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for giving the world “hope for a better future” and striving for nuclear disarmament, in a surprise award that drew criticism as well as praise.
The decision to bestow one of the world’s top accolades on a president less than nine months into his first term, who has yet to score a major foreign policy success, provoked gasps of surprise from journalists at the announcement in Oslo.
You win awards for accomplishments, NOT HOPE!!!
Simply stunning. I hope Barack’s humility will allow him to win such a well deserved award. Flopping Aces might have stated it the best … “No, this is not a joke. Sadly, this is not a piece from the Onion.”
It gets even better for those who think that those on the right just have sour grapes because Obama won. Maybe some one can explain how in the hell a sitting president who had only been in office less than two weeks before the Nobel Peace Prize deadlines won? Hmm?
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama’s name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award
H/T: Stop the ACLU – Obama joins Carter and Arafat as Nobel winner
Town Hall asks the same question, Isn’t this, at least, a bit premature? I mean, shouldn’t you at least do something before winning such a prestigious award? Barack Obama has been in office less than one year and has done what exactly?
Barack Obama was given this award instead of actual individuals who might have actually deserved it. Is this supposed to be a consolation prize for losing the Olympics? One might ask, who were the nominees? I was disgusted when I saw that The One was nominated, but it is downright embarassing to see that The One, won.
Speculation had focused on Zimbabwe’s Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a Colombian senator and a Chinese dissident, along with an Afghan woman’s rights activist.
It is being reported that the Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Obama for “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Really? You mean for his apology tour to Europe and the Muslim world? You mean for meeting with the likes of Venezuelan tyrant and dictator Hugo Chavez and ducking the Dali Lama to appease China?
Let me read this again correctly, “his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.” Barack Obama cannot even bring his own people together.
His striving for nuclear disarmament? I am sure Iran is laughing at the comment this morning as they The One wants to make the US weaker, Iran now has the capability of making a nuclear weapon.
UPDATE I: Wizbang … In what has to be one of the most dramatic examples of the global elitist genuflection and obsequiousness before the presence of The One.

mmm – mmm – mmm – what a complete joke!
wouldn’t say a joke, but it was a surprise.
It will be fun …to watch “conservatives” retreat further into their isolationist shell. It’s their only option! The public is wrong, the world is wrong, it’s an ACORN plot, haha heehee….
__________
SM: Its not just the Right that is complaining. This has many scratching their heads.
There are people who actually did something and deserved winning. Could Obama maybe do something one day to deserve the award, maybe? But he should never have received it.
Oh, BTW deadline for nominations is Feb 1.
R
In other news NFL first round draft pick for the Detroit Lions was just elected to the Hall of Fame in Canton, OH.
Also, last years NBA rookie of the year Derrick Rose was also nominated and elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame. I wonder if it was because he plays for Chicago?
What a joke. All hail Obama the Magnificent.
Is he up for an Oscar as well this year for his best roll in imitating a Prescient?
R
I wouldn’t say a joke OR a surprise, but a downright insult to anyone with a mind that has at least 2 communicating brain cells!!!
So Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize and all Republicans can do is become enraged!
Why do Republicans hate America?
__________
SM: Jason, you might have done more to deserve the award.
In Feb 2009, let alone now. What has Barry O done? I guess they could not have given him the prize for economics seeing that he has destroyed our economy.
R
of course the dolt wouldn’t think it’s a joke…WTF has he done? Gitmo still open, troops STILL in Iraq, going to have to commit more troops in Afghanistan…
He has deepened the divide in America between the majority which is CENTER-RIGHT and the pigs on the left like Al (who still has not posted one thing worth donkey d**k!).
The public as a MAJORITY, maybe you should do some research does not want Obamacare, Cap and Trade, his SPENDULUS NOR his second stimulus which is coming, which I said was coming MONTHS ago.
Who cares about the rest of the world…F them. They don’t vote in our elections, well neither does Al, who comes on here and run his mouth, YET he is too COWARDLY to vote. That’s right, you are what they call a BLOWHARD, COWARD, PUNK, whatever fits. It’s comical how people who do not participate in the electoral process run their mouths….YOU HAVE NO SAY!
Al, you are the one stuck in your little liberal world, you have not been paying attention, conservatism is on the RISE…the polls prove it, Independents who voted for this moron, are now moving back…this is a FACT that can not be disputed, although Al you wouldn’t know anything about FACTS or logic, you are pig liberal!
This might just be a blessing in disguise.
Obama knows he does not deserve this award. It will be looked upon by many as wrong. Except is you are the Kool-aide drinking LEFT.
Sorry Jason, I would have been against GWB winning it year one, even with 9-11.
This just shows so many hard working people who have busted their butts for raises and promotions that Obama is an elitist who gets honors without deserving them.
I think all of you know the type in your jobs and you resent them. They are the “yes” people and the kiss asses. They are the frauds while others do the work and do not get credit.
I wonder how the other nominees feel who actually did something?
How come the LEFT isn’t upset that deserving folks got hosed?
Obama can only exist when others carry his water. He is not a leader, he is a talker.
The winning of the Nobel Prize is just a metaphor for his presidency. Hype with no substance.
R
They give the Peace Prize to that man that blows off the Dali Lama because he needs to appease the Chinese … you know those humanitarian Chinese who are for human rights and have no thoughts of world domination.
We are going to wake up in three years and it will hopefully be like an episode of Dallas ,,, will it have been a dream, or nightmare.
to American righties who don’t understand why this happened:
It’s because the rest of the world is very, very happy that America elected Obama and not McCain. That it rejected lawless invasions, torture, secrecy and deception. And that it is once again willing to be a member of the civilized community of nations. Sure, it has such a long way to go, but the mere fact that Obama is in the White House gives us more hope for global peace than McCain would have ever delivered.
So understand this, righties, this award – as much as anything – acknowledges how happy the rest of the world is that your barbaric ideology has been rejected.
Look for him to be the First Wimp from now on. No more troops in Afghanistan. No military action to stop Amadinejad from setting up a drive thru discount nuke store for all the terrorists who want to incinerate us and then hold up their hands laughing and say “It wasn’t us.” From here on, if Desmond Tutu wouldn’t do it, Barry won’t either. What a joke. Our best hope is that his head will explode.
Scott…
Calm down buddy.Did you forget to take your meds?We are all entitled to our opinions.I choose not to vote because I think it is a waste of time.I also feel that both parties are pretty much the same.Maybe you don’t think what I have posted is worth %$#*&—but it is my opinion and I am entitled to it.(just like you are entitled to yours)No need to hurl insults and get all worked up before noon.Don’t be such a closed minded goon dude…..
This is excellent. Let the crying and whining continue.
When asked how Iran feels
about Obama winning the 2009 NPP
Iran replied today:
—
“Even if one American or Zionist missile hits our country, before the dust settles, Iranian missiles will blow up the heart of Israel,” the IRNA news agency quoted Mojtaba Zolnour as saying.
—
Apparently, Mojtaba WAS JUST SAYIN’…
Peace makes the world go ’round, bro bro!
scott…time for the medication again!
and scott, wtf are you complaining about Gitmo, you never wanted it closed to begin with.
Actually, it confers great honor on the recipient, and on us as a nation. Cheer when America loses, curse when we win. The right wing is showing us exactly who they are.
Just as the Nobel Foundation was brought about by the premature notice of Alfred Nobel’s death, the proclamation of Obama as a recipient of the Peace Prize is also a bit premature.
Nobel’s death was inevitable; Obama’s ability to bring peace and kumbaya to the world is a remotely minute possibility. But again his whole ascension is based on holograms and teleprompters, so appearance is everything and substance is irrelevant. And considering the previous American winners, with the exception of TR, Obama will be quite comfortable in that cadre of impotence and poppycock.
Being CENTER & partial RIGHT myself, really surprised at this nomination. It’s fraudulent!
Has there ever been a US President in history to have won the Nobel? If you actually look up the definition of the Nobel Peace Prize and what one must accomplish for it to be awarded, suffice to say- even Barry himself may realize (that while it’s an honor to be considered) this is something he hasn’t truly earned.
Thanks, MSM, for the smoke screen & your part in coining our President as the OBAMASSIAH & “The Chosen One” Guess it pays off to keep spinning that bogus PR Machine that is everything Obama. When I saw the Obama memorabilia and collectibles in a Cape Cod gift shop right next to the JFK items, I knew we were in trouble even way back then.
Gag!
and 1 more thing: you can’t blame Obama for winning it, blame the Nobel committee.
I stopped taking them seriously after Arafat got the award.

#19—Dolf—you raise a valid point. The Committee definetly screwed up but Obama’s ego will not allow himself to decline.
It makes perfect sense to me The BIG O gets a prize for being a BIG Zero !!!
Oh, lookie here ! The Extreme Bleeding Heart Liberal Moonbats are just smiling ear to ear today!!
Hip Hip Hooray! Hip Hip Hooray! Please pass the Obama Kool-Aide.
*** Disclaimer to the Trolls Al & Jack: ***
I’M NOT A REPUBLICAN. I DIDN’T VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA ! Got it??? Not ALL of America is as mesmerized as you two seem to be. But it’s true, you are entitled to believe that President Obama is the greatest Savior of the 21st Century….Praise God! He has come to right all the wrongs on our planet!!
…Are you ready to let his actions or inactions speak for themselves? Oh, that’s right—it’s just easier for you to stay in denial.
Hmnnnnnnnnn….. Not even one year in office and he may win the Nobel Peace Prize? Interesting- I don’t see World Peace by a long shot. Last time I checked, our Country is still in a War, our soldiers are still dying for YOUR FREEDOM…Funny- same War Mr. Hope & Change promised we would withdraw from. And, Al- how you can have any Political opinion when you don’t even take the time to vote?
#21- Thanks, Dolf… I could have googled it but you got my point…….Ohhhhhhhhhh, that’s right! JIMMY CARTER ! Geez, I forgot about that. LMAO!
Jimmy Carter = Barack Obama…..same outcome. I do think Barack will be more effective when he is not re-elected and he goes back to the grass roots level as a Community Organizer. That’s a genuine statement—-, Jimmy Carter did more for humanity AFTER his Presidency- not while serving. Ask a Democrat! Even they will tell you- Jimmy Carter was one of the worse President’s in American History. By the time he was voted out of office..America was FUBAR!!!!!!!!
They gave it to that peanut farming
psycho Jim Bob Carter in 2002. Seriously,
he should be institutionalized. Jimma has
become SCAAAAAAAARY!
They gave one to Gore in 2007.
They even gave one to Ara-Flat. About a decade
before we zapped his liver with our special
death-ray gun. Got ‘em with a frickennnnn LASER BEAM!!!! lol
It has sort of become a Razzie. A gag gift!
Ya know… for the guy who has everything…
ya give him a box of faux chocolates with assorted
rubber dog poop inside.
TOTALLY EXPOSES THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE COMMITTEE FOR WHAT WE ALWAYS KNEW THEY WERE.
A hypocritical body of political left-wingers who care more about the advancement of Humanist philosophy than for actual “PEACE”.
People the fix is in…One World Government is coming to the neighborhood near you. His eye was on the prize and he got it thanks to a corrupt organization of the Nobel Committee. This will give the legitimary to the man with the thin resume and no background as a humanitarian…Peace at any price. The apology tour; the trashing of our country; the complete disregard for conservative fiscal policies; and of course indecisiveness on the Afghanistan War. Chamberlain of Britain tried it with Hitler and look how that turned out. What a sham! How embarrassing that he accepted it for accomplishing absolutely nothing.
AND THE 2009 NOBEL AWARDS:
To Africa… Excellence in Healthcare.
To the British… Culinary Excellence.
To State of California… Fiscal Excellence.
To Cuba… Forerunners in Citizens’ Rights.
To China and the Taliban… Excellence regarding Human Rights, especially for women.
YAWN.
Nobel Peace Prize? Pay tollets are out of date. Payed flush Obama.
If Obama had any character he would either decline the prize if that’s an option (he should have removed himself at the nomination phase) or place the prize money in the treasury to reimburse the government for picking up his travel tab when he delivered his speeches ( that’s all he’s done)
i don’t care too much for this peace prize after war criminal henry kissinger won this prize.
but i love to see the RIGHT getting enraged about it! LOL!
Re #19: You’re exactly right, Dolf! If Arafat could win, *anybody* could win!
lolol..nobel peace prize.. I needed a good laugh today.
Haven’t laughed so hard since I saw this headline in 2003
Libya has been elected chairman of the United Nations Human Rights Commission, despite opposition from the United States.
It’s after lunch and I’m still shaking my head over this. It’s just astounding! How in the world??? Why in the world??? It simply doesn’t make sense…
Nobel has just won the Obama piece of Prize.
Okay, it is actually a comfort to know that I have finally drifted off into complete insanity.
I mean, this can’t be for real. Isn’t this our leader who promised to end the wars on “day one”, close gitmo, and share weenies with ahmajeedan on fourth of july?
Has he accomplished any of this? Just because he says he dreams of a nuclear free world doesn’t mean it’s going to happen. If they are going to give that award away for that far fetched dream they should have given to every school child during the cold war.
Geez, thanks for telling me this is not from “The Onion!”
Hope? How about Fear? For all his books, this dude hasn’t even written a page on his own? Did Ayers win the Nobel for him? Obama has no record of having been born! A Modern Immaculate Conception Nobel? WTF?
Is this the answer to Saturday Night Live? I simply don’t get it?
@22
would you decline….afterall it is the nobel price?
Attn: Al, Jason, Dolf
As for early risers Al, Jason,and Dolf, yes, to your opinion. I’m an independent who made a huge mistake voting for the unvetted Obama. As such, please educate me on the topic of Obama’s accomplishments. Please don’t attack the opinions of others with insults of “your meds”, “calm down,” or condescending rhetoric.
Please state Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize qualifications. Mocking the moderator is not addressing the issue. I look forward to hearing from you three. I may be missing something.
My take: “A Call To Action?”…why is anyone surprised? Isn’t this more of the same surrounding Obama, once again taking the Nobel and denying a true recipient? Obama has to his record: Ayers writes his books (known fact, now); Pelosi plagiarizes copy making him the Democratic Nominee, (denying the first real black American to be the President;) Obama received over $60Million from the unions and buys an auto industry as prez; bails out banks and forgets mainstream American unemployment; Obama defends a black colleague against stupidity (his word) but is mum on a black honor student murdered by other blacks, on his way home from school; does not notice Americans in his ‘front yard’ (tea parties); Acorn who? lol. BUT, let us not forget the front and center ObamaCare! Oh, yeah, and not one of the “three heads here – Al and Company Monitors – can deny this one is the biggee! The Monster One is MSM gives him a pass on everything–! That keeps most Americans in the dark, well, except for the trolling monitors on blogs like Scared Monkeys telling it like it is!!
Ok, so we are LOVED again! Excuse me, my bad.. they are almost “loving” the USA again…but the mob in his hometown did not get the Olympics; that one the brazilian Mr. S decided he wanted for his home country. Mr. S knew the Consolation Prize was coming, The Coveted Nobel!
I doubt if people like myself can be convinced by the Nobel Peace Prize. I have experienced first hand the true changes of the Obama Identity. After all, I live here in the USA; the Global Community and their sentiments will cry wolf, when the next global bully incident needs a referee. Payback is always Hell!
So you early risers, Al, Jason and aDolf, please let me hear that you can do more than “ad hominen.”
Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the president of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize – an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride — unless of course you are the Republican Party
Observation: Al’s Monitoring Company has a few more names commenting.
Serious question to Al and Company, most entitled to their opinion, of course: Would the honorable trolls here (oxymoron!) react the same way if tomorrow we heard: Nobel Prize Winner Sarah Palin favored for Going Rogue? (You know, like Obama, she hasn’t achieved much either, well except for holding a higher position than Community Organizer and actually “writing” her own book.)
Think about it, Obama says it’s about “momentum,” so he’s keeping it! lol
Why didn’t Reagan get the prize? He liberated millions in Europe with the fall of the Wall. Even GW Bush liberated millions of Iraqis!
I am beginning to think more that we have now seen the antichrist crowned.
The real question is … was the Nobel Peace prize a bribe of sorts to Obama to influence him with Afghanistan?

#45 R,
Have to share this with SM from another blog:
(((((My friend and colleague Mark J. Koenig sent me the following email this morning:
David,
How eminently appropriate: Obama wins the “I hate America and wish to see it destroyed” award.
Gag me.
-MJK)))))
I agree, Red. They are simply trying to influence US foreign policy. Rush is right on this one. There will be no troop surge in Afghanistan. I understand Barry wants to deploy more drones, even though the death toll of innocent civilians killed by them is skyrocketing. After some terrorists set off a nuke over here, maybe the Europeans will think it is OK for us to oppose them. Then it will be fashionable.
You are a hypocrite as your parents are on nationalized health care- medicare. If you are so emboldend , pay for it yourself you phony, you fraud, you are the worst of cheapskate bums passing the bill off yourselves and onto us and then decry its public cost.
didn’t norway give us
vidkun quisling?
#40- Dolf—It was reported today that the announcement was “shocking”…Even Mr.O wasn’t “expecting” it? Wow. What a speedy speech writer he has to deliver such a humble acceptance speech in the Rose Garden. (PUHLEEZE!)
#41-Marsan-Excellent post. Dolf is the only one who will probably answer you. The other 2 trolls will just whine and come up with absolutely nothing again.
#32- Ceasu—-No one is “enraged”. Dumbfounded may be more like it. Aren’t you once again exagerating just a little bit? If it wasn’t so ridiculous it would actually be funny.
Think about it and tell us—what has he done in less than 200 days to deserve this award?? Be specific and remember—has to do with promoting WORLD PEACE—– Hmnnnnnn…Also —didn’t our Secretary of State also pledge that we would be bringing home most all the troops in less than 90 days or some BS like that?
@50
shocking no (Arafat was a bigger shock).
Would I have voted for him if I was on the nobel jury..no, cause…he hasn’t really done anything except promoting hope and change.
and Marsan, stop complaining about those donations, republican party also gets cash from those companies.
Dumbfounded is a good word to describe it.
“Please don’t attack the opinions of others with insults of “your meds”, “calm down,” or condescending rhetoric”
you mean like posters SUPER DAVE and Scott??Look at Scott’s post from yesterday and the rant he goes on calling me a “liberal pig” and “That’s right, you are what they call a BLOWHARD, COWARD, PUNK”—quote Scott
if SM does’t edit this you will know that these are the regular posters to the site and that is how the win arguments.
I don’t think Obama deserved to win…yet. It’s a well done so far and keep going from the Nobel Committee. They want Obama to deliver on his promises and have awarded him ahead of actually achieveing anything!! I have written a blog post on the topic, ‘Will the real President Obama please stand up?’ if anyone wants to take a look http://wp.me/pCIZY-Y
The delivery of this once distinguished honor to a person who has done “zip” to earn it demeans the now deceased honor. Nobel Peace Prize will never be the same. Sorta goes with whats happening to my USA at this time as well. Unprecedented change that will indeed change America into something which nobody bargained. GOD have mercy on us all.

@50…NewGirlBoston,thanks, appreciate your comment, and you were right on Al, more of the same…”SMonkeys do it; I can do it…”
@51…Dolf, no complaint, just a simple observation, meaning he ‘owes’ the unions; Dolf, look up “ad hominem,” ’cause you did it again. The commentary is about a sitting President, not Repubs, get it?
This reminds me of when Broke Back Mtn. won an award (don’t remember what it was/don’t care), but to think that won anything makes more sense than Obama winning cuz at least the actor memorized their lines rather than read them from teleprompter!
For all those who admire the fact ZeroBama received this prize, take heart! Castro agrees with you!
