Pres. Obama is 100% correct… [UPDATE II]

Posted on October 9, 2009 by johndoetoo

“I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize…”  President Obama acknowledges, in responding to the news that he had been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

No kidding.  Glad to see that even with his massive ego he can recognize the obvious.

The Nobel Prize Committee  accelerates its descent into irrelevance.  Now, you don’t even need to actually have achieved anything- they’re bestowing anticipatory awards!  As Mark Steyn suggests (here), it’s as if Hollywood included a “Lifetime Pre-Achiement Award” category in the Oscars, given to some promising young art school graduate.

Lord have mercy!

UPDATE I:  A Shocking New Trend Line!

Mocking from the Left! The bloom is well and truly off the rose; even they now see the emperor has no clothes.

First, the Saturday Night Live skit goofing on his two major achievements: “jack” and “squat”.

Now, Time magazine- yes, Time magazine- on it’s online edition, has a “Top Ten Obama Backlash Moments” list… and invites readers to rearrange it and submit their own personal prioritized version (h/t to HA).  The Nobel Peace Prize comes in at #1.

Meanwhile, derision for the decision appears to be President Obama’s first truly bipartisan achievement.  Yikes!

UPDATE II:  “DNC official: GOP siding with terrorists.” (at POLITICO).

Gosh, I’m confused… they say that like it’s a bad thing!  Since when, exactly has the Left ever having had any problem siding with terrorists, proudly and publicly?  A few memory-joggers here at the Zombietime “Hall of Shame“.
