The Nobel Peace Fraud

Last night, before I went to bed, I happened to watch an episode of the Twilight Zone.  Little did I know, I would wake up and somehow be mixed up into one of Rod Sterling’s masterpieces.  Boy was this a masterpiece!  President Barack Obama: lecturer, community activist, state senator, U.S. Senator, President, and now, Nobel Peace Prize Winner.  This is truly amazing.  It is actually extraordinary for the President.  What a great example for our country’s children.  Wait….how do we explain to young people the way to get the Nobel Prize?  I am trying really hard to figure out what the President did to deserve it but……..well I’m having a lot of trouble.

When my cousin, in the 7^th grade, asks me how someone can get one, I am clueless as to the criteria.     I guess I will tell him you just have to be President of the United States…wait….Reagan didn’t get it.  The people that chose this must be out of their mind.  Seriously, they need a shot of epinephrine to be woken back up apparently.  So, in the midst of my world apparently spiraling out of control in the Twilight Zone, I have compiled a top ten list of reasons President Obama doesn’t deserve the Peace prize.

1. Putting American generations in debt by pushing a corrupt stimulus package through Congress.  A package that gave millions of our hard earned dollars to programs that the great majority of Americans will never see the benefit of.  Furthermore, leaving the GOP out of the debate.  Peaceful?  Nope.
2. Tried to pass a Health Care plan by bullying Congress, leaving the GOP out of the debate, and possibly still using a very un-peaceful nuclear option to ruin Health Care for the 85% that are insured.  Also, alienating the poor in his country by passing this plan because of under the table payouts, which will become common place in medicine.  Peaceful?  Nope
3. Pushing an Employee Free Choice Act that will alienate freedom of choice and the right to privacy in union elections.  Is this making peace with the American people?  Nope
4. He is soley responsible for bringing the troops out of Iraq.  Oh wait!  That’s right.  President Bush, John McCain, General David Petraeus (most notably), and others are responsible for allowing us to withdraw so many troops.  President Obama voted against it in the Senate.  So the surge that brought a little peace to Iraq because of its overwhelming effectiveness was actually the work of President Bush and co.  Obama said it would FAIL!  Does this make him a man of peace?  A big NOPE
5. If he brought peace to Afghanistan it would be one thing, but he can’t make a decision.  The Taliban is reforming and the President wants to work with them to restore order.  Working with a group that alienated their people, brought strict Shira law on them, killed many, and made the entire country live in fear?  Our President wants to let some of them come back into power.  But wait, he doesn’t even have a plan for Afghanistan because he can’t listen to the very men that are over there.  Is he bringing peace to this growingly bad situation?  NOPE
6. Did President Obama spend his entire life fighting poverty, going into the trenches and helping the helpless, bringing peace to the hearts and minds of men and women that had none, feeding the hungry, housing the homeless, and doctoring the sick?  Mother Theresa did and she won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979.  President Obama is no Mother Theresa.  His reforms will alienate the poor, hungry, and sick even more..read my piece about Universal Healthcare.  So, does he do these things and as a result, become a man of peace?  NOPE
7. Did President Obama ever get put in prison for his efforts to fight racism, dictatorship, and the fight for freedom? Nelson Mandela did and he won the prize.  President Obama jokes about racism on late night tv, is quickly moving America towards a socialist state, and can’t decide whether he wants to fight for freedom in Afghanistan while he takes freedom away from Americans with his socialist policies.  To his credit, he did drugs and would have been put in Jail had he been caught.  For the question, I say NOPE.
8. Martin Luther King was one of the most eloquent speakers in history.  Not to mention eloquent, he was a man of principal, a man of conviction, a true man of courage, and one  who officially broke down the racial barriers in the US.  He was one of the greatest leaders in World History and is an example for all cultures to follow.  He won the Nobel Peace Prize.  Is Obama anything like him?  He bows to Saudi Kings and gives good speeches in Prague.  He talks about his experiences with racism growing up and gives good speeches but they haven’t had much of an effect.  Back to the question, is he anything like Martin Luther King Jr.?  NOPE.
9. Anwar Sadat won the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts to bring peace between Egypt and Israel.  He was a true peacemaker and martyr.  Obama only alienates Israel, and doesn’t do very much to protect our staunch ally.  Last time he got between Israel and Palestine, it didn’t go so well.  There is no peace there and as far as I know, they are still blowing each other up.  Is he anything like Anwar Sadat, heck, even a flower child that walked around promoting peace getting people to drop everything, smile and be happy?  NOPE.
10. The biggest snub ever was President Ronald Reagan.  He should have been given the Nobel Prize along with his friend, Gorbachev.  Reagan promoted peace, a non-nuclear USSR, and ensured the safety of his country in an era of uncertainty, THE COLD WAR.   He is responsible for the free Russia and Germany we know today.  He didn’t get a prize, WHY should Obama?  Is Obama anything like Reagan?  NOPE

Argue with me if you may.  These are just ten of many reasons President Obama SHOULD NOT GET THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.  I am now going to go back to sleep and hopefully wake back up into reality.  If this is reality, then I plan to sleep for the rest of the day.  I am still in disbelief.  Today, when my young cousin asks me about how to win the prize, my answer will be simple.  Be President, alienate the people in your country, don’t’ bring any peace at all overseas, make good speeches with a teleprompter, and don’t be like anyone else that won the prize, especially Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, and Anwar Sadat.
