A Prescient Award for a Pompous President
OK, help me wrap my head around this one. A President who was in office for approximately two weeks prior to the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize nomination deadline having expired, wins the prize! So what exactly has this President accomplished period, let alone in his first two weeks in office? Good old hope & change hasn't brought any peace to his own homeland within the last eight months. We're fighting over immigration, we're fighting over health care reform, we're fighting in, AND over, two wars which are currently being fought (and overseen by the Nobel Laureate in Chief). This President has ordered hundreds of unmanned drone missile strikes within the borders of a sovereign nation (albeit with them looking the other way). A "road map for peace" in the Middle East has been folded back up horribly wrong on his watch. He's been teased and taunted by the freak show that is North Korea. He's nearly bankrupted our nation and indebted our great-great-great grandchildren. Well honestly, I'm thinking it would be great to have terrorists lay down their arms. I'm sure someone will nominate me, and I'll win before I actually accomplish this Herculean feat. After all, don't you just have to espouse peaceful thoughts? How nice it must be, being as prescient as the Nobel Committee obviously is. I wonder if they might know tomorrow's Powerball numbers?
