I can imagine the posts if Obama had NOT won the Nobel Peace Prize:

Classicman: "That Liberal can't win his way out of a paper bag"

Merc: "My drill sargeant could have won the peace prize but that loser Obama couldn't"

tw: "upper management mba it was bush's fault"

UG: "He didn't win because he wasn't packing. Oh, and liberals are out to enslave the world"

That would be awesome!! They wouldn't even have to pay tax on it.

My scan of the conservative blogosphere (blogosfear?) reveals a trend towards happiness on conservatives' part over the award based on the idea it forces one to consider what exactly he won it for, what precisely his peace achievements are. They feel this leads to a "wtf?" assessment from which Obama emerges damaged. There is consistency in the ridicule, though it fluxuates between ridiculing Obama, the Nobel Foundation, and/or both.

My scan of the liberal blogosphere reveals reactions all over the road, from pride over a deserving, well-thought out award to responses indiscernible from the conservative reactions.

The implication is clear: Philadelphia will win the Stanley Cup this season.

The Stanley Cup is a lordly "foreign" prize and an insidious attempt to indoctrinate us into the peace loving, national health care loving ways of our northern neighbors

"That's pretty amazing, winning the Nobel Peace Prize," Jay Leno said. "Ironically, his biggest accomplishment as president so far ... winning the Nobel Peace Prize."

The Times quotes Bob Lichter, "Is there now a caricature taking hold of a man more celebrated than accomplished? The danger is that Mr. Obama is going to be defined by inaction and not living up to expectations," he said.

SNL skit: Obama has done nothing

Jimmy Carter, Yasur Arafat, Al Gore, Barack Obama. Ha ha ha ha ha. Watch the Oscars for the winner. Another useless awards show.

I can't find the link just now, but apparently people are going to ESPN's ongoing fan Vote For The Heisman! site and voting for Barack Obama.

Nobel Peace Prize? Eh. But if he wins the Heisman, I'll be impressed.

Shouldn't we be trying to get him to win him the "I wish I was Micheal Jordan Award"? The round ball is more his thing.
