obama: Nominated within ten days after assuming office ?

oct 11th, 2009

remarkable progression.

st. obama -> nobama, as all his big programs have been shot down (eg. healthcare, olympics, etc.)

nobama -> nobelbama, thanks to some idiot lefties in scandinavia. 

of course, there may be some payola involved, from the sainted manchurian's sponsors in saudi arabia and china.

think: what is the 'piss' that he has achieved?

1. he gave lots of money to pakistan (ie. to saudi arabia's muscle)
2. he has sucked up unendingly to china (eg. refusing to see dalai lama)

naturally, they are pleased with him.

The Americans seem shocked and embarrassed instead of celebrating at the choice of Barack Hussein Obama for the Nobel Peace Prize. The US media, instead of celebrating the award for its president, is consequently in splits as to how to handle the embarrassment of the award to the new and untested president. "It is an odd Nobel Peace Prize that almost makes you embarrassed for the honouree", said The Washington Post almost feeling shy at the choice. It continued: "A more suitable time for the Prize would have been after those efforts had borne some fruit; that barely nine months into his presidency, his goals are still goals". The Los Angles Times, among the first to endorse Obama's candidature, asking, "whether Obama deserves the Prize", commented that "the Nobel committee didn't just embarrass Obama, it diminished the credibility of the Prize itself." The Time said that "the last thing Barack Obama needed at this moment in his presidency and our politics is a prize for a promise" saying that he has so far only made promises and has done nothing.
It cited that former Polish President Lech Walesa, himself a Nobel Peace laureate, has, while responding to Obama's prize, asked "So soon?" and said, "Too early. He has no contribution so far".

A well written post marred by reference to Ashoka.

Ashoka's peace was like Karunanithi's fast which began after heavy breakfast and ended before lunch.

In Ashoka's case there was no space left in stomach to have lunch.

Towards the end of his life he killed off one of his wives. perhaps peacefully.
