Just last week they talked about how he hasn’t accomplished anything and today he has a Nobel.
I can’t wait to see this.
SNL is going to be REALLY interesting this week

And the prize for not being George Bush is…

I crashed on the couch last night because the Sox game was on the west coast. When I woke up this morning and signed in AIM the headline was that President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Being a normal and sane man I assumed I was still groggy or maybe still asleep and then turned on the TV.
Apparently not being George Bush counts for a lot. From what I’ve seen on Morning Joe even the White House seems a bit embarrassed.
I was always under the impression that you actually had to DO something to win the prize.
That makes three four US presidents. Teddy Rossevelt for his mediation in the Russian Japan war. Woodrow Wilson for the League of Nations, Jimmy Carter for Camp David and President Obama for… for… not being George Bush.
I guess we should be watching for international youtube videos of kids singing now.
I can’t think of anything that can illustrate the bankruptcy of the prize than this award. I’ve gotta run my kid to school but I’ll do some blog round up later.
Update: Forgot about Wilson. I still haven’t checked any other blogs but I can’t wait to do that.
Update 2: I must say this IS deserved. No US president since the Bush administration has not been more not George Bush than Barack Obama.
Another reason why I don’t support Romney

I’ve mentioned in comments elsewhere as a Massachusetts Republican I never cared much for Mitt Romney. Since I’ve been writing about this today I wanted to highlight this bit from the globe story on the subject:
That day, Hehir and O’Malley met with Romney in his State House office to make their case for an exemption, but Romney said he lacked the authority to do so.
Now if he had issued the exemption first then the other side would have to go to court to revoke it or to challenge his authority instead he left them high and dry. And when the decision was finally made to get out of the adoption business…
Almost immediately after the announcement, Governor Mitt Romney, who was in Tennessee speaking to a Republican group, issued a statement saying he would file legislation to exempt religious organizations that provide adoption services from the state’s antidiscrimination laws.
”I ask the Legislature to work with me on a bill that I will file to ensure that religious institutions are able to participate in the important work of adoption in a way that always respects and never forces them to compromise their firmly held beliefs,” Romney said.
And that was the first and last that we in Massachusetts ever heard of this bill, he never pushed it, he never put a moment of effort on it. In fact I don’t think he ever had it introduced.
And that is Mitt Romney in a nutshell, he says nice things, he looks nice, he’s smart but he doesn’t actually believe in anything enough to fight for it. Think of Bill Clinton with a nicer family and a cleaner personal life. He was better than the alternatives in Massachusetts such as the current governor but not much.
That’s Mitt, better than Obama? Sure, but that’s not much of a standard, I’d vote Mika over Obama.
“Where is your God now?”

Calvary aprox 29 AD:
He trusted in God; let him deliver him now if he wants him. For he said, ‘I am the Son of God
New Hampshire Aug. 4, 2008:
The same officer reappeared and arrested Frost and Jayson Gardner for being too loud. While in custody, the police asked the men, “Where is your God now? There’s no God behind these walls.”
Well as you can guess there is now a lawsuit. Here is more from the ADF’s press release concerning their suit:
“Christians shouldn’t be arrested for expressing their beliefs. Arresting someone simply because he chooses to exercise his First Amendment rights in a public place is unconstitutional,” said ADF Senior Counsel Joseph Infranco. “These young men wanted to tell those who passed by about their faith. They were singled out and arrested for sharing their faith and worshiping God while much noisier activities have not undergone the same scrutiny. It is our hope that this suit will result in a more properly worded state statute.”
Well this is part of the job description:
If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. Remember the word I spoke to you, ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father. If I had not done works among them that no one else ever did, they would not have sin; but as it is, they have seen and hated both me and my Father. John 15:18-24
So I guess those two guys are in good company.
Oh and an fyi to lgf see how easy it is to say that you are quoting a press release?
