Attorney for China Activist Against Forced Abortions Loses Nobel Prize to Obama

[juliee]

Beijing, China – An attorney who is one of several human rights activists in China working with Chen Guangcheng against forced abortions is one of the nominees who lost the Nobel Peace Prize award to pro-abortion President Barack Obama. The committee awarded the prize to Obama after him serving just 11 days in office.

Three thoughts:

First, I agree that they shouldn’t’ve awarded it to him, because it should be for things done, not for things promised to be done; but that doesn’t mean he took it away from anyone. As far as I know, he didn’t even know he was being considered.

Second, it wasn’t awarded to him only 11 days after he took office; it was awarded to him over eight months after he took office. He was nominated no more than 11 days after he took office. But, again, he had nothing to do with it.

Third, the mistake here is on the Nobel Committee’s part, not his. In fact, I think it’s unfair to President Obama to have awarded it to him. What’s he supposed to say? And now everything he does will be measured against this yardstick.

I wish I could say I was surprised. What did Obama do 11 days into office that deserved the Nobel Peace Prize? And look what he’s done since then. Someone who works to protect unborn children lost the Nobel PEACE Prize to someone who is responsible for who knows how many of their deaths.So sad and disappointing.

One of my favorite quotes was heard on RT: Russia Today yesterday (ironic grammatical construction, no?), pointing out the lunacy of giving a peace prize to a man who is currently in charge of two wars in which he has learned that his “complete withdrawal” is an absolutely impossible idea and has agreed to put more men on the ground (at least in Afghanistan), supported the Eastern European missile shield until Russia put up their missiles on the Polish border (withdrawing that proposal is perhaps the ONLY peaceful thing he’s done so far), and tried to use said missile shield to coerce and manipulate Russia into signing a new anti-nuclear treaty that was heavily biased in favor of America’s arsenal.

The man does not deserve the prize any more than Kissinger did. But then, the day I learned that Kissinger had received the Nobel Peace Prize was the day I realized that the legacy of Mr. Nobel has been tainted by politics, appeasement, corruption, and evil. The Nobel Prize means nothing, and hasn’t meant anything for quite some time. Let Obama be “surprised and humbled”–he has received an award by which he will be forever judged. Let his epic failures “surprise and humble” him more than the million dollars that could be spent on responsible fiscal policy, rather than outspending the entire history of the United States in his first year in office.

11 days in office? Where does that come from?

Anyway…
