Someone needs to give Michelle a Nobel for rocking that yellow dress.
I was astonished today to see that my meager little status had spurred on quite a debate, mainly among people that don't know each other, which is pretty hilarious. For anyone that lives under a rock, President Obama received a Nobel Peace Prize this morning for "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Let's discuss, shall we?
Obama's not a bad guy. He means well. He likes to talk to people about their problems. He's kind of like Dear Abby in that sense.
Dear Bommy,
I keep getting shot at by foreigners. Also, I'm starving. Please help.
Love,
The World.
Dear World,
I've got this. But let's talk a lot first, and I'm going to need a downpayment. A Nobel Prize, perhaps?
Sincerely,
'President-O'
P.S. - O stands for Obama, not Oprah. Though with all her money, she might as well be Commander in Chief.
I'm pretty sure that that was the exact letter that won him the prize. But let's be perfectly honest here. Obama might be on the road to help fix some of our problems. He might. But right now, our economy is still broken, we still don't have healthcare reform, Iraq and Afghanistan are still huge messes and Pakistan becomes more and more of a problem each day, and the only tangible product of this administration so far is cash for clunkers. I don't know about you, but a President whose greatest achievement thusfar is being a used car salesman, doesn't deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, and apparently it makes sense for him to be trying to sell the world on the Olympics. How'd that go? Fail.
I will admit that since he's been in office, President Obama has radically changed the way the White House addresses the rest of the world. But let's face it: after George Bush ANYONE would look like a peaceful negotiator. And let's not forget that Obama received his nomination only TWO WEEKS after he was sworn into office. Could someone please explain to me what he did in those two weeks that so drastically caught the attention of the nominating committee?
I'm all about helping people. But let's actually do it.
Ciao Bella!

He didn't nominate himself, darlin. They chose the winner two weeks after he was elected. We have bigger fish to fry here. I like the sybmolism of it. Now, if we don't have ENDA and the end of DADT by March or April, I will be totally cutting him.
ReplyDeleteApparently, if he was nominated or won only 2 weeks after taking office, the only criteria for the Nobel Peace Prize is winning an election and taking the oath of office... What a cheap shot at all those who have won for actually doing something!
ReplyDeleteI have high hopes for Pres. O but I hope that the others considered for the Nobel, the others who have dedicated their lives to and are working their asses off for world peace, don't all throw their arms up into the air and decide to go work at McDonalds. Judy a.k.a. Liz' Mom
