The only thing I'm assuming is that he's thinking "MORE GAY $$ PLEEEZ!"

And yet, It reminds me of somebody; I just can't figure out who.

Okay I admit I don't get it. Why is he getting the Nobel Peace Prize? I mean, his goals are great and all, and if he'd actually accomplished one of them, I might see my way to understanding why they're giving it to him. But what exactly has he done to earn it? Did I miss a major achievement amidst all the "Jon & Kate" news?

You have got to be kidding...

I would say it is primarily an award for not being George Bush.

It is hard to argue that it is justified by anything Obama has yet done. But then the Nobel Peace Prize committee doesn't exactly have a stellar record with their award and a pretty fluid definition.

My feeling is that President Obama was the second choice, but the Nobel committee couldn't fork out $1.2 million and a gold medal to every one of the 66,882,230 Americans who voted for him.

This is obviously a tribute to the people of the United States for not replacing Little Boots with another bellicose dimwit. And yet another slap in the face to Little Boots. Good.

On the plus side, I assume that Glenn Beck's head exploding will finally get him off the air.

That alone is worth a million bucks.

I keep checking my e-mail, I can't wait to see what Michael Steele's letter says.

Well, the DNC has a response:

Quote:

The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize. 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. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim."

Source is here. Right now, I'm super-extra much enjoying being a yellow-dog Dem.

I agree, it's an award for not being GWB or another war-monger.

I think it will cripple our efforts in the Middle East too - now he has to be a peace maker instead of a President in war-time.
