October 09, 2009 10:09 AM
Courtesy of conservative activist Keith Appell:
Barack Obama’s Teleprompter: Big Guy says Bill Clinton called and was gracious in defeat; offered to fly Kanye West over 4 the Nobel awards ceremony.
Erick Erickson: Obama is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter.
Ana Marie Cox: Apparently Nobel prizes now being awarded to anyone who is not George Bush.

The Cook County Democratic machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympics Committee.

The committee awarding Obama this prestigious award had a hard time. It almost went to Mickey Mouse for his work with Daffy Duck in bringing talking animals closer together and his vision of a "No Cat" world.
Neither Obama nor Mickey really did anything and Mickey was just an animated cartoon so Obama took home the loot

"Yo, Barack. I'm really happy for you. I'ma let you finish......but Beyonce had one of the best strategic arms treaties of all time."

The committee announced....and once again Joe Wilsom yelled "YOU LIE"???

Miss America was robbed. She was for world peace way before Obama was for it.

What is the best Obama Nobel joke?
He won.
Posted by: Mario | Oct 9, 2009 11:03:51 AM
Obama graciously responding to the Nobel ignominy says: "This is truly shocking, but I have nowhere to go but up from here".
Posted by: John E. | Oct 9, 2009 11:04:57 AM
This is a joke, right? Right?
The even bigger joke will be when Obama, The Empty Suit, accepts it for having done nothing, zero, zip, nada. That will be proof that he is soulless and totally without a conscience.

...Cut to Obama's speechwriter for the Egypt speech....."dude I just won the Nobel Peace Prize!"
Posted by: Bennet | Oct 9, 2009 11:11:44 AM
So, will they take it back when Afghanistan and Pakistan fall into chaos because he will not send more troops? Or, will they take it back when Iran nukes Isreal? Wait, the Europeans that vote for this may award him another one for that!

Was he, like, the tenth caller or something?

The Nobel Peace Prize - now available in select cereal and Cracker Jack boxes. While supplies last!

Tony said....The Cook County Democratic machine ain't what it used to be. They were supposed to bribe the Olympics Committee......
Actually that should read...The Crook County...

BREAKING NEWS: Obama just won the Emmy for "Best Press Conference." And the Academy just gave him an Oscar for a PowerPoint presentation he's going to make about world peace. And evidently he won a pro bowling contest in Milwaukee, a bass fishing contest in Arkansas, a blue ribbon for the biggest squash at the Iowa State Fair, the jackpot in the Megamillions lotto, and a poetry contest in Sheboygan.
Our Great Leader Comrade Obama is a supergenius who knows all and tirelessly works for the common good of mankind. This is not rigged at all to promote a political position but rather a celebration of Obama's vast accomplishments, which are still in progress but surely astounding.

The world community wants nothing more than a weak, contrite America. And Obama is delighted to give it to them.
Unfortunately, we have to live with the consequences of Obama:
The constant lying.
The staggering arrogance.
The dangerous narcissism.
The astounding incompetence.
Consistently, polls show that 50 percent of Americans strongly disapprove of the way he is performing as our president -- the fastest decline of any president in modern history. Americans know Obama best.
Let's continue to stand strong against Obama in every way and get Congress out of the hands of the insane Pelosi and Reid in 2010.
Obama is a smug, smirking con man. Nothing more.

He could avoid being part of the joke by DECLINING it. Do it, Big Man!

There are sitcoms that aren't as funny as this administration.

Meanwhile, those who were passed over for this award continue to actually work for peace and human rights, just like they have all along. While they do, the Nobel Committee makes their plans for the biggest award ceremony EVAH! Feh.
Posted by: Mad Monica | Oct 9, 2009 11:29:40 AM
Somehow, I don't think he campaigned for this award. For whatever reason, someone, somewhere decided he should get this. How much more do you expect the guy to do other than do what he did, which is say 'I don't deserve this.' I mean, seriously, while I believe that someone else should have gotten this award, is it fair to rip Obama over this? It's not his fault the committee that decided this is short-sited...

Oh I see, it is now the Nobel Hopey-Changey Peace Prize! Is that a tingle running up my leg?
How precious…the Nobel committee is hedging their bets on the the mere possibility that Obama may become the almighty global uniter. What a crock. Boy do they have a rude awakening on their glossy eyed horizon.
Posted by: velvethammer | Oct 9, 2009 11:37:07 AM
I thought he was going to win the Nobel Prize for Economics because he saved the economy and is giving Americans heath-care for the very first time.
I guess that's next year.
Posted by: Raul | Oct 9, 2009 11:39:37 AM
Joke is on Nobel committee: First thing I do after win peacing prize is bomb the moon. Very niiice!
Posted by: Barack Borat | Oct 9, 2009 11:40:08 AM
I thought I should have won, I haven't fought with my wife in more than a year.
Posted by: Ron | Oct 9, 2009 11:41:23 AM
I bet he wins again next year.
And that's no joke.

"The world community wants nothing more than a weak, contrite America. And Obama is delighted to give it to them."
