Nobel Committee Insults America

Greg Gutfeld makes a valid point about why Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize:

It's all about "him."

The prize is not meant to award achievement, but to insult folks the committee finds distasteful – meaning those who refuse to share their assumptions about a deeply flawed – oh let’s face it, evil – America.

Meaning, you and me. And like I always say, when it happens three times, it’s officially a trend. The 2002 prize to Jimmy Carter was meant to humiliate President Bush for the Iraq War build-up. They even admitted that. Then in 2007, they handed the political prop to Al Gore – a message meant to slap Bush for winning the 2000 election, and also America for not embracing global warming ideology.

And that’s what this prize is all about now. It’s not just another slap at Bush (well, it is), but a prop to help beat back the simmering dissent Obama’s progressive agenda has caused, here.



No one, not even his most adulatory supporters, can find a reason based on Obama’s performance for him to have received this award. The Nobel committee wanted to make a political statement about the events they see unfolding in America: this country and its unique status being brought down, humbled and disparaged.

Keep that in mind when America seeks to identify its enemies. The Nobel committee is shining a light and praising those who they view as America’s enemy number one. Signals like this can be very revealing.
