To close the loop on this “Obama as Nobel Peacemaker” prize recipient deal and get back to posting cool pics ….

I think this seals the deal that this is an inconsequential president. To actually accept this award in clear view of most of the rest of the world saying Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! (”What the f*@&”! to you landlubbers) and in clear view of the fact that he *has not accomplished anything* is indicative of his political and social tin-ear. It is a joke, and he is too absorbed in himself to see that.

I often thought that this presidency was quickly removing any doubt that they are indeed well into the deep end of the global pool with regards to the intellectual heavy-lifting, both domestically and internationally, that needs to be done to competently represent the United States. Offering such a lightweight resume for this job and, like the Nobel committee, running on a “I’m Not Bush” platform is an ideal way to gain the votes of liberals who eschew the personal responsibility of actually…you know….”learning” about a candidate, but instead voting for such obvious style over substance has indeed brought us a junior varsity/not-ready-for-prime-time chief executive.

I know the die-hard Obama fans will pooh-pooh this and recite, in a glazed-eyed and with a small facial twitch sort-of-way “You do not understand. Obama is the One”. Fine. Keep on defending Roman Polansky. Keep on saying this Nobel award is the biggest no-brainer in the history of the earth. Keep on telling your children and grand children that their tax burden, thanks to the brilliant economic machinations of The One, will put them in debt for life before their age reaches double digits. Keep on defending an administration that embraces Chavez but punishes Honduras when they try to enforce their constitution. Keep on dithering with regards to what to do in Afghanistan. Keep on playing Mayor of Chicago with that absurd Olympic trip (and *never* complain to me again about any “carbon footprint” BS after he flew his wife and Oprah over on a 757 and he himself flew AF 1 for that narcissistic 25 hours in Copenhagen). Keep on hiring people whose best qualification for federal service is that they haven’t paid their taxes in a half-dozen years. Keep hiring people who believe the US government and military were behind 9/11. Keep hiring people who give such great advice to a minor school student who is having a gay affair with an older man “I hope you used a condom” (I wonder if Jennings would have provided the same advice if the student in question would have been female.)

Just keep on.
