Nobel Peace Prize to Obama?!

Seriously? What a joke. As if other countries didn't have reason to laugh at us before when Obama was elected president, now he's being given the Nobel Peace Prize for " his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Really?

The reason why he spends so much time abroad is because half of America cannot stand him. If they're going to give a prize to someone who has not done a thing to deserve it, then I know anything is possible because hell has frozen over and pigs have grown wings. It's pretty sad when even Saturday Night Live is actually in on the action. Apparently, even they have had enough.



I guess this is all to be expected. After all, with Obama's conceit he's surely going to bring this country to her knees. You'd think that with the debate over his birth certificate he'd just pull out the long form to stop people like me from scoffing at him. However, Obama must think he's above the law because he still has yet to show proof that he's really an American.

If the committee is going to give out a prize, why not give it to the actual people who are doing something to help promote the peace, like the military? They're the ones dying each day because they're trying to eradicate the evil in the world. Not some guy who purports to be our country's president , dresses in nice suits and ties, and beds with other countries rather than worrying about the state of his own. No wonder the other countries "love" him. Yep. He's a real winner alright.

Excuse me?!

I know I've slacked off a bit on the whole news thing--especially since I'm trying to remain positive about our new" leader." But when the top articles in yesterday's newspaper says "President Obama's Budget Proposal More Than Three And A Half Trillion Dollars" I had to come up for air. Am I the only one who caught this headline? I mean, I've been listening to people moan and grouch and complain about "how much the Bush administration spent" and how it's all "Bush's fault we're in this mess", etc. And yet, I don't seem to hear anyone say a thing about how much Obama plans on spending--with the except for House GOP leader John Boehner of Ohio. (Thank GOD, someone is trying to stand up to this craziness!)

3.55 TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!!

Isn't this the same man who campaigned that he would cut all of this spending and so forth? What a crock of garbage. Then, the article continues to talk about his proposal for the universal health care system (socialism anyone?) and the rest of the points in his so-called budget. (They even continued with a follow-up article today.)

Please tell me, "Mr. President," what exactly are you smoking, and is it legal?
