From Kos to Talk Left to the American Spectator to Too conservative.
Then again if the turns it down to the terrorists win?
Yourish thinks he won’t
And the truly frightening thing is: I’m betting Obama thinks he deserves it.
Lets see what the president says….I’ll liveblog his speech.
They keep stalling and stalling bringing him out. Maybe he will turn it down. If he does it will be the most presidential thing he has done yet.
Update:
Here he comes…
“This isn’t how I expected to wake up this morning.”
I guess not
“I don’t view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments”
Ya Think?
“This prize reflects the kind of world we want to build.”
And what kind is that?
“I will accept this award as a call to action.”
To do what?
Apparently this is a mandate on Climate Change and nuclear disarmament.
“We can’t accept a world where people are denied opportunity”
Are we going to see an international stimulus plan?
“This award must be shared with everyone who strives for justice and dignity.”
Well it should have been shared with SOMEONE!
I think this is a real screwtape moment concerning reality.
Yourish wins!
Just Words wins…

Byron York reports:
This morning on MSNBC, presidential adviser David Axelrod was at pains to explain how his boss could possibly deserve this prize. “I think it’s an affirmation by the Nobel committee that the things he’s been working on and talking about around the world are important for humanity.”
Incredibly, “just words” appear to have been good enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rush puts it almost better than me…

via the Politico:
“This fully exposes the illusion that is Barack Obama,” Limbaugh told POLITICO in an e-mail. “And with this ‘award’ the elites of the world are urging Obama, THE MAN OF PEACE, to not do the surge in Afghanistan, not take action against Iran and its nuclear program and to basically continue his intentions to emasculate the United States.”
Limbaugh continued: “They love a weakened, neutered U.S and this is their way of promoting that concept. I think God has a great sense of humor, too.”
The world is a very strange place.
Update: The DNC thinks it sees an opening:
“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,”
I’m not making this up.
