CONGRATULATIONS, TOTUS!

(Bumped up from Friday afternoon.)

You too Favreau! Oh, the Absurdity of it all.

For winning the Nobel peace prize with your cliches and words, just words.

They have given the Nobel peace prize to a man who could not turn around poverty or violence in his own district or the city for however long he was the state senator. What you see in this video is Obama’s grand accomplishment to date (HT Flineo’s Video).

They have given the Nobel peace prize to a man who was forced to enact his anti-war speech on a make believe set during his campaign because nobody had heard it the first time he gave it — (there is no record of that speech other than one or two eye witness accounts). He did not lead anti-war marches and was a nobody until his campaign decided that the anti-war stance would sell well against Hillary in the Democratic primary. He did not even stop funding for it once he got to the US Senate. He did not conduct hearings while in the US senate on how best to act in Afghanistan in spite of chairing the committee on NATO and Afghanistan.

He did not convince the Palestinians to come to the table even after his overt and in some people’s view, lopsided support of those people. He did not convince Muslim extremists to give up their terrorism in spite of his overt plea to them and their sympathizers (Taliban are as destructive as ever and Al Queda are lying in wait). He did not convince the North Koreans to stop their missile launches nor the Iranians to give up their nuke dream.

What he has done though is to continue many of the Bush/Cheney war time policies. As far as I recall the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not been turned into peace missions nor have there been talks of nation building to help those war ravaged populations. We don’t really know what he will do with the two wars he is presiding over.

A war time commander-in-chief getting the Nobel peace prize! There in lies the profound incongruence and the absurdity of this award. Is this all a joke?

But he gave speeches and lectures to everyone and everywhere.

He was nominated for this award less than two weeks after he was inaugurated (the deadline was February 1, 2009) when the only concrete thing he had to show for was his performance as a state senator and you see the results of it in Flineo’s video above the fold. I am discounting getting elected as US senator because he does not have anything to show for it. Getting elected as president was no biggie either because he and his cronies stole the nomination during the Democratic primary and a dog with a Democrat label would have got elected in the general election. And what has he accomplished since his inauguration or nomination? No breakthroughs there. Nothing.

Essentially they have given the Nobel peace prize to this man who has done NOTHING.

I am sad and sorry for the tens and hundreds of activists around the world who work hard and crave the attention for their cause (and not for themselves, mind you) to make world a better place. They could certainly have used the money too.

Obama should have turned it down or at least in a grand gesture shared it with other nominees. Maybe we should be satisfied if this does not inflate further his already over-inflated ego.
