Nobel Laureate Obama 0

However much I like President Obama–and I do think he is a good and decent man who is trying (and sometimes failing) to make correct decisions and who I worked my heart out to help win the election (but I would have voted for a dead cat if it had run Democratic), I think this is a little premature.

In a stunning surprise, the Nobel Committee announced Friday that it had awarded its annual peace prize to President Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

I believe that it is more a rebuke to the previous federal administration, whose answer to everything seemed to be to kill and torture people all over the world, than it is a recognition of President Obama’s accomplishments because, frankly, he hasn’t had much time to accomplish stuff.

Then, again, as persons say in the restaurant biz, presentation matters and he presents the United States of America as being sane. Perhaps this is a recognition of that.

Boy, wingnut radio will have its knickers in a twist today! The Norwegians will be the new French.
