Recently, Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. He said that he doesn’t deserve it, but that he will accept it. This Obama worship has gone too far. Let’s review a few things Obama has or hasn’t done.
Most significantly, Obama promised to end the wars in the middle east, pulling our troops out immediately. Instead, he has escalated the war, and will probably soon send more troops into Afghanistan, putting them in harm’s way. He received the award on the same day his administration considered sending up to 60,000 additional troops. It also happened on the second day of the ninth year of the war.
While campaigning, Obama promised an end to the Bush administration’s violations of our civil rights. He promised that he would repeal the patriot act. Recently, he reauthorized it. He also promised that he wouldn’t hire a single lobbyist. Instead, he has filled his administration with lobbyists, and former Bush administration officials, including Robert Gates, Bush’s Secretary of Defense.
On the campaign trail, he tried to project the image of himself as a Harvard-educated Constitutional Lawyer. Recently, Obama has become the first president to chair the UN Security Council. This violates Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the United States Constitution, which reads:
No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.
I guess I shouldn’t feel surprised. While at Harvard, he wrote his thesis, entitled “Why the Constitution is Inherently Flawed.”
Obama has become the first president to deny meeting the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, “To make China happy.” Consider China’s human rights record. Consider a country which employs child slave labor, shipping us poisoned products. Consider a country which prosecutes people based on their spiritual beliefs, harvesting their organs for sale to the highest bidder. Consider a country which has the power to destroy our economy. Why should we make them happy? Perhaps I just answered my own question.
Does this sound like a man of peace? I guess I shouldn’t feel too surprised, given that another adviser to Obama, Henry Kissinger, has won the award as well. It certainly seems interesting that the last American president who won the award, Woodrow Wilson, set up the Federal Reserve, an act he later regretted, and an act which has led us to our current economic crisis.
They should have given Obama an Oscar. I would have at least agreed with that – he can certainly act well. I mean that seriously, it takes practice to read well from a teleprompter. Many have expressed the opinion that Obama hasn’t even done anything, and indeed the Nobel comittee awarded it to him based on his potential to bring peace. As long as they want to give out awards for potential achievements, I want to invent a computer for the blind, why not give me an award? It would certainly aide my cause.
The title of this article contains a double meaning. He may as well have won a Golden Globe award for acting. The Globalists have certainly given him a Golden Globe of their own, making him the perfect figurehead, the kind-faced benevolent ruler for marching out the next phase in the New World Order’s agenda. If you feel similarly, why not nominate Barack Obama for the Heisman Trophy?
Update
I have since learned that Obama did not actually write the thesis I referred to earlier, though he did have some questionable professors. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. I stand corrected.
