Peace Prize?
After Yasser Arafat, Kofi Annan, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore, it is a wonder that any person still respects the Nobel Peace Prize committee’s judgment. Their latest selection simply confirms that their choices often have more to do with their ideology than with rewarding substantive achievements in securing world peace.
Arafat was a terrorist, and Annan was a corrupt United Nations bureaucrat who fleeced the organization (and therefore Western money). I’ll leave it to readers to assess how Brzezinski pal Carter and global warming apocalypsist Gore helped world peace, not to mention our freshman president who already has streets and schools named after him.

Obama adds this to his long list of non-accomplishments. When you think of all the things he has not done, there is almost no end to the awards and prizes for which the man is eligible.
I read elsewhere an apocryphal discussion in which someone was explaining to Reagan why he did not get the Peace Prize when Carter, et al had for much less. The explanation was that it had gone instead to Gorbachev, because he was a Democrat.
