it is only fitting “O” win the prize after all his mother did.... Confused? I believe I have uncovered Obamas true heritage. He is a product of the union of Jimmy Carter (his mother) and Richard Nixon (his father). all the birthers can rest now

Step #1: carefully study world events to determine what emerging force / forces will be most harmful to the United States. Step #2 identify the person most closely associated with those forces. Step #3 You’re done! Hand out then award!

A crass undemocratic attempt to influence US public opinion and policy.

It probably WILL, but NOT like they THINK!!



To: Sub-Driver

Five Norwegian university profs make the decision? Explains everything you need to know. Maybe they should call it the Neville Chamberlain Peace Prize.

I’m breathless at the prospect of Dear Leader getting an Academy Award based on the prospect of his awesome projected career in the pictures.
