Norwegians for Obama
2009-10-09 - by
It’s hard to fault President Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize – after all, he was the first to admit he was as surprised as anyone and, beyond that, he’s giving the money to charity. In the end what else could he do but smile and say, Thank you, politely.
There’s also no point in questioning the logic of five Norwegians giving $1.4 million of pacifist dynamite inventor Alfred Nobel’s money to President Obama. They said the President was creating a nuclear free world and creating an International ‘dialogue’ – and that was good enough for them.
Their first point’s shaky because not a single nuclear weapon’s been dismantled. But their second point is rock solid – there’s no doubt the President can dialogue with the best of them.
The Norwegians also had one more thing to say: That the President was standing up for ‘world values’ and working through the United Nations – which tickled the Norwegians pink.
I guess that’s one way to look at it. The other is the United Nations has turned into a safe-haven for the biggest thugs on earth. In the last month its members have cheered Muammar Gaddafi, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Hugo Chavez – three of the biggest scoundrels walking around on two legs. So, right now, ‘world values’ looks shaky too.
All that aside, congratulations to President Obama. And let’s hope next year about this time he brings home another Nobel Prize – for economics. Because his ‘Stimulus Plan’ worked.
