Obama’s Strange Prize
Friday, October 9th, 2009Today’s top headline: US President Barack Obama has been awarded this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Please forgive my cynicism, but aside from pandering to the Muslim world, bowing to the Saudi king, scheming to prevent Israeli families from having babies in Samaria, Judea, and Jerusalem, and appeasing the world’s most notorious dictators, it’s hard to know what Obama’s foreign policy accomplishments are.
I am so impressed with the choice of the Nobel committee that I would like to already send in my suggestions for next year!
I would like to hereby nominate several highly worthy candidates for next year’s Nobel Peace Prize:
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, Caesar Chavez of Venezuela, Fidel Castro of Cuba, and last but not least, Hassan Nasrallah of Hizbullah - As is well known, these are all men of peace, proponents of non-violence and moderation, and according to Obama, leaders who can be reasoned with, if we would only show more understanding for their needs and concerns.
May the best man win!
