as things roll<\/a>.<\/p>\nI am a bit curious as to what the demonstrators at Pioneer Square have to say about Obama’s Award.\u00c2\u00a0 They should be a bit more coherent and straight-forward than the “Talk Radio” crowd.\u00c2\u00a0 A week ago, we heard from The Drudge headline “THE EGO HAS LANDED!” and (I can hear Limbaugh’s voice gloatingly) “The World Has Rejected Obama!”\u00c2\u00a0 So, today, to flick over to Limbaugh and then Beck.\u00c2\u00a0 Limbaugh:\u00c2\u00a0 “Can you imagine how big Obama’s Head is today?” […] “This fully exposes the illusion that is Obama!” […] And a bunch of angst against the “World Elites” and Nowegians.
\nThe comedic bit came in with the “announcement” from the NFL that the Kansas City Chiefs had been declared Superbowl Champions, with the citation of approval for this 0-4 team for starting the Rebuilding Process.\u00c2\u00a0 This is an interesting analogy which, following its natural course, would have the logical idea that Obama is doing that tough job of rebuilding after Bush.<\/p>\n
Glenn Beck rolled into a phone-in question of “Name the other two sitting presidents who have won the Nobel Peace Prize.”\u00c2\u00a0 This would present him with the opportunity to do something he dearly loves to do, which is go on the attack against Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.<\/p>\n
So the “World Rejects Obama” meme is dead.\u00c2\u00a0 I could never understand the point of that line anyways.\u00c2\u00a0 And, just to add insult to my general sense of loathing, the National Democratic Party is referencing that debris with “Republicans are siding with the Taliban”, a marker that has me yelling, “Oh, Go to Hell!”<\/p>\n
Obama, meanwhile, is a little embarrassed by the win, and if left to his duthers would prefer not to have won it.\u00c2\u00a0 It contemplates his road ahead.\u00c2\u00a0 But this is the Nobel Prize Committee’s attempt to put pressure on him, and\u00c2\u00a0Obama does not get to control external events and decide the world environment with which he works. One upside, Obama now has a ready excuse — meet with a fellow Nobel Peace Prize winner — to meet with the Dalai Lama that he can offer to Hu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\u00c2\u00a0 Yes, all seven figures\u00c2\u00a0in\u00c2\u00a0that image\u00c2\u00a0are\u00c2\u00a0probably are more fitting for a “Nobel Peace Prize”, unless you\u00c2\u00a0go ahead and figure the\u00c2\u00a0Prize as a “spur for action” and “Symbol” (ie: Good thing Bush is no longer around),\u00c2\u00a0but you will search in vain in rolling up and down the am dial of conservative talk radio to hear anything about the people in that\u00c2\u00a0montage of images\u00c2\u00a0in their diatribes about Obama being awarded the thing.\u00c2\u00a0 And these\u00c2\u00a0were realistic candidates they should be discussing,\u00c2\u00a0as opposed to\u00c2\u00a0their Dream of the man who “Liberated Millions of Muslims”, George W Bush.<\/p>\n
