A 9 on The Ridicubility Scale

So I never thought I would end up ever using this thing, mostly because I don’t have anything interesting to talk about, but then last week I realize what I could write about, politics. Last week something incomprehensible happened, something so ridiculous that people from both parties are taking issue with, this of course was president Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Democrats and Republicans alike are wondering how this happened, how a guy who has only been in office for eight months could be honored with such a prestigious award.

What has our wonderful leader done thus far to bring peace to the world? Is there finally peace between Israel and Palestine? Nope. Is there peace in Iraq or Afghanistan? Nope. How about Tibet, have they finally been able to shake the chinese since Obama took office? Not a chance. Oh I know, Obama finally saved Darfur didn’t he? Wait, he didn’t do that either.

Hmmm? Well he must have done something in order to win this award, what could it be? I’ll tell you what he’s done. Since Obama has taken office he has not brought peace, but yet the opposite of peace. He has caused conflict in the US, he has caused protests and rallies against the government. He has caused a ground swell of everyday people to rise up and speak against the government and the administration. He came into this presidency with overwhelming support, and now 51% of the country disapprove of him. He is honored for peace, but yet cant even bring peace to his own country.

Since being elected, the only thing he provides is empty rhetoric of hopes, dreams and puppies running through rainbows. Obama winning this award is a disgrace to all previous award winners, and the award committee should be embarrassed.
