He Won Now Get Over It!!

All of this talk about whether or not President Barack Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize or not, is becoming a distraction. So few pundits started their remarks with how proud they were of their president. Even my beloved NPR commentators were waxing on about the level of deservedness of the award bestowed upon the 44th President. The committee selected President Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people's" Hasn't he done just that? Why is it necessary to deconstruct the motives behind the award? If I had just been crowned Miss Missouri and the audience, local press and my friends were saying I had been crowned Miss Missouri 'cause the judges were sympathetic (about whatever condition or circumstance it was that made me the likely pity vote), I would be pissed. It is much like the comments overheard when the aging, slightly senile movie star finally gets the academy award they never received but were nominated for half a dozen times. Cut it out. Let President Obama deal with whether or not he feels he deserves it and be proud that the international community has stopped wincing every time the president is mentioned. On Hardball with Chris Matthews, Pat Buchanan called it "ridiculous" that President Obama received the award. Admit it oh pessimistic one, people from other countries like our president. Imagine that. Rush Limbaugh, idiot supreme, said of the Nobel Peace prize winner: "This has created more embarrassment than losing the Olympic bid" Embarrassed that our president received the Nobel? Seriously? Oh go take some Oxycontin or something Rush.
