Can’t tell ya how tired I am of having to drag out that graphic! Never more appropriate than today as I read the news and see that our prez, Barack (I ain’t never done nuthin’ but spend monies and campaign like a hairy stripe-assed ape is hot on my tail) Hussein Obama is being given anointed with the Nobel Peace Prize.

I know, I know — settle down and stop laughing, or crying, or gritting your teeth — you might break a bicuspid or somethin’!

For someone that even Saturday Night Live has parodied as having accomplished Jack & Squat, the question is begged, “Why?” CNN opines on that and presents the Nobel Committee’s arguments:

The Nobel committee recognized Obama’s efforts to solve complex global problems including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons. Video Watch CNN’s Christiane Amanpour’s anlaysis »

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said. {…}

Jagland said the decision was “unanimous” and came with ease.

He rejected the notion that Obama had been recognized prematurely for his efforts and said the committee wanted to promote the president just it had Mikhail Gorbachev in 1990 in his efforts to open up the Soviet Union.

“His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population,” it said.

“[T]hose who are to lead the world” — Uh Oh! Did you catch that? I thought that 52% of the voting idiots here in the U.S. had elected a President of “the United States”, not THE leader of the world! But, what do I know? Another CNN article states:

News that U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize has been as polarizing as his embattled healthcare reform plans.

Ya think? Don’t miss all the lovey-dovey tweets to the mighty-O for his spreading forth in the world change that will bring HOPE AND PEACE to us all. Barf! Double barf! Triple barf! Oh hell — SPEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!

Polish leader and former Nobel Peace Prize recipient Lech Walesa isn’t in the least impressed:

The winner of the 1983 Nobel Peace Prize, anti-communist Polish leader Lech Walesa, was quoted in The Wall Street Journal as expressing surprise.

“Who, Obama? So fast? Too fast — he hasn’t had the time to do anything yet,” the paper’s Web site quoted Walesa as saying.

DrewM at Ace has this reaction:

High school kids want to be popular. Nations want to be prosperous, secure and in America’s case, a force for good in the world. Those things don’t usually lead to popularity because it means making hard choices and doing the right but often un-popular thing….you know, like a grown up.

Obama is making America popular again by talking us down and saying in effect, “We are nothing special, just one of the gang. We’ve been bad before and I’m sorry. I won’t do anything you don’t like.”

That’s morally bankrupt and dangerous. But who cares? We can eat lunch with the cool kids again!

Michelle Malkin reacts:

Isn’t it so fitting?

From community organizer to Illinois state senator (present!) to U.S. Senator for 143 days before moving into the White House…and now, the recipient of a Nobel Peace Prize — not for anything he’s actually done, but for the symbolism of what he might possibly accomplish sometime way off in the future[.]

Allahpundit at Hot Air has this insight:

In other words, they gave him a Nobel for … being Hopenchange-y. And you thought Mark Halperin’s grade inflation was bad. This makes three times, incidentally, in just seven years that the committee’s turned the Peace Prize into a “f*** Bush” award by bestowing it on a liberal American Democrat. The Goracle got it in 2007 and Carter received it in 2002, making today’s announcement yet one more reason to consider The One his presidential heir.

The Anchoress is being bombarded by readers from the Left that can’t contain their glee:

My email box is loaded with gloating gleeful idiocy from the left, all of it in the form of “nannynannybooboo, look what we have. A pretty box…” They’re not interested in whether the box has anything in it, but it sure is pretty. And all Obama had to do for it was say “hope” a bunch of times, take down a defense shield, do nothing but talk while Iran goes nuclear and treat Israel rather badly.

After Obama helps the world take the US dollar out of currency, there will be no further awards because none will be big enough. He’ll simply have to become the King of the World, which is pretty much what he’s been campaigning for, all along.

But wait — how has the Obamessiah reacted to all this? Pretty much like you would think:

A beaming Obama told reporters in the White House Rose Garden that he wasn’t sure he had done enough to earn the award, or deserved to be in the company of the others who had won it before him.

But, he said, “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century.”

Even a White House aide was taken aback, commenting, “It’s not April 1, is it?”

No dude, but it’s almost Halloween so I guess it’s appropriate for our mighty-Prez to dress up in his best Nobel-costume and pretend that he’s ready to be Leader of the World. Geez! He’s awakened with this surprise announcement and puts together an almost 6-minute speech. Must have had that one in his back pocket — just in case.

That pretty much says it for this ol’ Okie — Keep lookin’ around for more if you can stomach it.

Me? I’m done!

[Update -- well, not quite yet!

Ace has a top ten list of "Who Almost Won the Nobel Prize". Also, DrewM speculates that Obama will be named "Motor Trend's Car of the Year!" and then Ace note's a write-in campaign for Obama to get the Heisman Trophy!]

[More update: Michelle Malkin is asking readers for suggestions as for how Obama should spend all that Nobel Prize money!

The president will receive $1.4 million from the Nobel Peace Prize Committee for not achieving anything concrete.

He will receive $1.4 million for an award he himself says he doesn’t deserve.

What should he do with the cash?

"$1.4 million dollars!"

His Chicago cronies probably have that covered.

Quick -- someone get Glenn Beck some meds -- he's probably about to have a stroke! ]

[Michael Moore opines to the Prez:

The whole world is depending on the U.S. -- and you -- to literally save this planet.
