According to the Associated Press<\/a>, the Nobel Prize jury commented on the prize they gave to President Obama last week – and it turns out that their reasoning is even more intellectually vacant than we thought;<\/p>\n

“Alfred Nobel wrote that the prize should go to the person who has contributed most to the development of peace in the previous year,” Jagland said. “Who has done more for that than Barack Obama?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since nominations were closed on February 1st, the “previous year” was 2008 – you remember, the year that Obama spent campaigning. The last year in which he wasn’t even President. So his campaign brought peace to the world. So we thought he was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his successful inauguration celebration – and we were wrong. <\/p>\n

Of course, the runner-up for the most questionable award of the year, Eugene Robinson, who won a Pulitzer earlier this year for republishing MoveOn talking points and Obama campaign emails in his Washington Post<\/a> “opinion” column for eight years wants to know why conservatives hate America;<\/p>\n

The problem for the addlebrained Obama-rejectionists is that the president, as far as they are concerned, couldn’t possibly do anything right, and thus is unworthy of any conceivable recognition. If Obama ended world hunger, they’d accuse him of promoting obesity. If he solved global warming, they’d complain it was getting chilly. If he got Mahmoud Abbas and Binyamin Netanyahu to join him around the campfire in a chorus of “Kumbaya,” the rejectionists would claim that his singing was out of tune.

Let the rejectionists fulminate and sputter until they wear their vocal cords out. Politically, they’re only bashing themselves. As Republican leaders — except RNC Chairman Michael Steele — are beginning to realize, “I’m With the Taliban Against America” is not likely to be a winning slogan. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Robinson makes me giggle – this from the man who thought Bush would bring back slavery and throw Robinson in jail for regurgitating DNC platitudes. At some point he has to question why he’s at odds with common sense.<\/p>\n
