Sisters: He EARNED It!

Woke up Friday morning and the TV was replaying the previous evening's O'Reilly Factor on Fox. Bill-O had queued up the story of what BO the pup did on AF-1. I was just "waking up" when Brian Kilmead of Fox & Friends broke in a few minutes early to announce that President Obama had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace.




The universal response, - it became evident almost immediately, - was:

"For WHAT?"



I had to get up and crank the coffee, grab the remote and check in with Morning Joe to get the View from the Cheerleaders. Scarboro and Mark Halpern were comparing it to Marissa Tomei winning the Oscar for My Cousin Vinnie. Joe made the point that Tomei had done far more to earn the Oscar, guaranteed.



I looked up the design of the prize and can attest, for the doubters, that President Obama did, indeed, win the Peace Prize as it was intended by Alfred Nobel.



DLS commented over at the Moderate Voice, "...As to the American people, as I've written, this Prize was mis-directed; given the actual timing of the decision, the American Voter should be the recipient, for voting a black American into the Presidency (the relevent question to the feminists now being, Would the award be given if Hillary Clinton has been elected, instead, or is Obama personality cult and idolatry too much in effect here, too?). As I also have written, it's still not too late for Time Lite to select the US Voter as "Person of the Year" to properly honor him and her."



(Especially those of us who saw our votes dismissed in June, 2008.) The really important contribution made by Barack Hussein Obama, is to let men all over the world sleep nights for keeping the uppity women out of the Oval one more time.

The reverse shows three naked men embracing one another - a symbol of the international fraternization that Nobel wished to contribute to through the Peace Prize.

Maybe the "brothers" took the brotherhood thing too literally, or maybe the sisters have just found another speedbump on the road to the Whitehouse. I'm nothing if not a good sport, and the "Winner" in me responded the way I'd like to be received if such a prize were "handed to me." OK, is this their way of telling us: "Be Careful What You Wish For?" Life teaches us all that it is real Challenge, Adversity and Proving Ourselves that brings out the greatness in each of us. He'll need our support if he's going to do us proud after this. Funny, all the calls for School Kids and bold progressives to 'help President Obama' didn't strike me as my patriotic duty as much as this. He REALLY needs all the help he can get. Our job as citizen-journalists is to challenge him respectfully, to cheer him on through all adversity and when he proves himself, be the first to give credit where credit is due. Patriots: let us affirm that the Job, here, will truly make The MAN. Humbling has that effect. Carrying that "seal" around will process all the lightweight ore outta him and make a gentleman of him. (I bet he keeps a chatroom to Bill Clinton always on that blackberry.)





You go, guys!
