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.

For the tinfoil hat crowd, the following may prove interesting. BTW its from a Muslim based blog for whatever that may be worth:

"However, all of this is really beside the point, since it assumes that the Nobel Prize remains an "award" when in fact it is no such thing. It is actually a shrewd vehicle for influencing the power elite, and as such represents an attempt to lobby Obama and influence him over the course of his next term(s). The decsion of who gets a Nobel Peace Prize, and just as importantly who doesn't, is an explicit editorial statement. That President Bush was not awarded one* was a rebuke of the unilateral, pre-emptive, diplomacy-averse doctrine that bears his name. But with Obama, it is an attempt to shape the doctrine yet to be." - blog.beliefnet.com

Jimmy Carter has done more unselfish acts of kindness to improve the world than any 10 Republicans you can name combined.



Al Gore won the election for the presidency. He exposed the irrefutable, indisputable, scientific fact that man-made global warming is real in an accurate, truthful, honest, and scientifically sound movie that won an Acadamy Award, and he deservedly won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in bringing about international cooperation in dealing with something that is very likely to end all life on earth if nothing is done.



President Obama's efforts to close Gitmo, and reverse the horrible foreign policy of his treasonous predecessor while reaching out to other nations in an effort to repair our damaged reputation and moral standing in the world greatly increase peace in the world.


Yassir Arafat was the leader of a terrorist organization, but he's come the closest of any Palestinian leader to bringing lasting peace to that part of the world when he publicly stated that Israel had a right to exist in peace and security and he very nearly got Israel to agree to return to the 1949 armistice lines while recognizing a state of Palestine. This is the closest to true peace those people have ever been.


And you? You're just a loudmouthed douchebag with a chip on your shoulder and nothing to back it up.

.Destroyed the US economy in only for years
.Aided and abetted the Islamic terrorist movement by kissing Khomeini's ass while disowning America's only Islamic ally
.Highest inflation rate in my lifetime(63 years)
.Weakened our military and intelligence agencies
.Debated Reagan like a little boy trying to justify his tantrums
.Won the "I didn't get re-elected award" hands down, based on performance. That award was given by an overwhelming majority of the American people, not by you, the Oslo committee, or the acadamy awards.

Al Gore didn't win the election for the presidency. He exposed the irrefutable, indisputable, scientific fact that man-made global warming is not real in an inaccurate, untruthful, dishonest, and scientifically unsound movie that won an Acadamy Award, and he deservedly won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in bringing about international coercion in dealing with something that is very likely to set him up financially for life.

I will repeat myself. Ha ha ha. Afghanistan and Pakistan are certainly more peaceful since he took over.

This is the closest to true peace those people have ever been.
In case you didn't notice, Arafat stated publicly one thing while doing the opposite. If you choose to believe the words of a murdering lying terrorist, it just tells me that besides being the names you accuse me of being, you are more of a loudmouthed feminine device with a chip on your shoulder and nothing to back it up than all the other treasonous bottom feeders that you adore.

Goodbye.

I certianly would agree that it is hard to argue against the post-presidential (and vp) contributions of recent Democrats....the Carter Center, the Clinton Global Initiative, and the (Gore) Alliance for Climate Protection.

Poor Bill, the only one now without a Nobel.

Looking forward to the Bush post-presidential legacy.

ESPN is reporting that President Obama watched 2 quarters of a football game and is being nominated for a Heisman Trophy.

Just a little levity folks.

Oh, and Carter is a saint! He is one of the most genuinely kind souls on the planet. Didn't like him much as a pres tho. I'm glad he's found his calling.

Hey Spexxvet you should check out this breaking news!!!!

BigHollywood:

by Andrew Leigh
September 10, 2010
The Nobel Prize Committee announced today that it is awarding the Prize in Medicine to Jimmy Duncan, a senior at Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York, for getting a 97 on his bio-chem final.
“The Committee felt that Master Duncan has shown great promise with his outstanding grades,” said Dr. Leif Quisling, chairperson of the Nobel Prize Committee. “It is our fervent hope that this award encourages him to do great things in the future, such as find a cure for cancer.”
The committee was first alerted to Jimmy Duncan when they came across a YouTube clip of Duncan’s class presentation on his career goals.
“We were particularly struck by his unbridled optimism,” said Dr. Quisling. “Duncan closed his passionate talk with these inspiring words: ’And we can end cancer in our lifetimes if we all work together really, really hard!’ It is exactly those kind of empty platitudes that impress this committee. Far more so than anything so gauche as actual achievement.”
Mr. Duncan was somewhat blase’ about the news. “I was lying in bed playing a little X-Box before heading off to school when my mom yelled, ‘Jimmy, you’ve got a phone call from Stockholm!’ It was pretty cool, yeah.”
Dr. Quisling acknowledged that the committee was inspired to award prizes prematurely after giving President Barack Obama a Nobel Peace Prize the year before, despite the fact that nominations had been closed only 11 days after he entered office.
“In Barack Obama’s case, we figured that if the American people were willing to hand over the U.S. presidency to someone who hasn’t accomplished much, why not give him the Nobel Peace Prize before he’s done anything, either?” Dr. Quisling said.
As for Jimmy Duncan, 17, he says he’s “psyched” about the Nobel Prize. “I should be a shoo-in now to get into Harvard,” he said.
“By the way, I’m not going pre-med anymore,” Duncan volunteered. ”Now that I’ve got the Nobel in Medicine, why bother? I’ll just invest my prize money in a diversified fund and I never have to work another day in my life. In fact, I may just skip Harvard and go to a party school. Arizona State, here I come!”
We contacted Dr. Quisling’s office for a comment on Duncan’s change in plans. Nobody returned our calls by press time.

They only gave it to Jimmy Duncan because he's European-American. Oh, and because he's not George W. Bush. I'll be getting a Nobel soon. You? Not so soon.

I don't need one of those. We all know now, with Obama getting one, it really means nothing now.:p
