Barack Obama: 'Oh, did I mention I won the Nobel prize?'
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at October 15, 2009 4:43 AM
The Won has displayed his characteristic, Michael Scott-like utter lack of humility or self-awareness in reminding everyone, frequently, about the Nobel prize no sane, thinking person thinks he actually deserved. Toby Harnden at the Telegraph has been keeping up with His Arrogance:
Consider the emails his White House is sending out. No opportunity to shoehorn in a mention of the Nobel prize is being missed.
Yesterday, it was: “Earlier today, President Obama spoke with President Felipe Calderon of Mexico, President Oscar Arias of Costa Rica, and President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia. In addition to thanking each for their respective calls regarding the Nobel Peace Prize, the President…”
The day before it was: “Late Saturday morning, President Obama returned Indian Prime Minister Singh’s phone call. Prime Minister Singh had called President Obama on Friday to congratulate him on having won the Nobel Peace Prize. The President expressed his appreciation for the call and congratulations. He noted that he was humbled and grateful for having received the Nobel, and that he saw it as a call to collective action on shared challenges.”
Oh and on the day itself there was an email from “President Barack Obama” himself (his email is info@barackobama.com btw): “Toby – This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I’d been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
The email went on for a few more faux-humble paragraphs but we’d already got the point. Obama apparently sees the award of the prize as his biggest achievement so far, with the possible exception of his election victory. Well, it sure beats actually doing something.
At least when little kids get meaningless "participation" trophies that they were given just for showing up, they have enough common sense not to brag about them.

Man, how embarrassing. Doesn't the man keep an ear to the ground, ever?

Do you even remember why you don't like Obama?
Or does everything his every action annoy you out of principle?

HOW DID HE WIN WITH TWO OUT OF FIVE?

Nancz, Liberal math. 2 > 3. See it is easy.

Aqua-fartus obviously is incapable of reading anything printed here or in articles linked here.
His mommy must type in his rants in between diaper changes.
WAAAAAAAAAH!

‘Aqua-fartus’, eh?
That's very clever. You should be proud of yourself.
You're clearly a credit to the American education system.
You have provided a great contribution to the English language.
Please continue to enthral the world with your verbosity.
You deserve great respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
Well done.

Like in ANIMAL FARM the big pig himself calls up the other pigs to oink to them the same way he went to the UN to oink to the other pigs

Ah yes, Animal Farm, Orwell's livestock-themed political allegory.

Oh, this reminds me... did you know John Kerry served in Vietnam? He, like Obama and his Nobel, is a little bit humble about his heroic service.

Oh c'mon you guys, lets give Barry a break on this one. If a NPP is the only thing you've ever done except campaign and vote "present" you'd want to show it off too.
Frankly, I think this is the international community's way of making Obie a world laughingstock. NPP and $5 will get him a small latte at Starbucks.

I don't understand why people just don't leave pres Obama alone. It really bothers me that we have nothing better to do but talk shit about each other.

I don't understand why people just don't leave pres Obama alone.
We're just holding the President accountable, like the Left did for the past 8 years.

I am not some child who requires a diaper change. Also, despite my condescending superior airs and tendency to come across as a very British homosexual, I am NOT gay. Despite what some of you suspect. I consider myself a woman. My ethnically diverse, muslim husband, Iqbal, considers me a woman also. As much a woman as his other 3 wives. Therefore I am not queer. I have a human right to be considered a real woman. Oh, and please refrain from mentioning pigs.

And as in ANIMAL FARM look what happened to the old horse

Notice how my writing style completely changes and I seem to become a Liberal charicature?
Some fuckbox keeps using my name to make me look like a complete twat.
Honestly, if you aren't going to contribute your own ideas, but instead you just complain about how people aren't agreeing with you, you should consider working for FOX.
Face.

It's amazing how it works, really. Some dickhead is impersonating me to sound like some raving, lunatic conservative-basher. Honestly, I believe in the ideals of smaller government, lower taxes, and freedom for everyone.
You're not being original or funny at all. Over at DailyKos, there are reams of posts of people who think this sort of juvenile humor is funny. Quit making me out to be some kind of leftist dirtbag, OK?

"Verbosity" is not something that is normally associated with impressing others, so much as irritating them.
A comment on someone else's literacy is generally more effective when it doesn't contain misuse of language.

And it would help if you spelled "enthrall" properly, too.

You are giving them too much credit. You're doing that fine on your lonesome.
