The Illegitimate President

I hope Barack splits his Nobel Prize money with me – I’ve done at least as much for the country and world peace as he has, and I’ve saved the nation trillions of dollars.

The best commentary on the award I’ve read is by by Shannon Love at Chicago Boyz:

As a sociological/psychological phenomenon, the awarding of the prize is especially revealing given that the nomination deadline for this year’s prize was February 1st. That’s right, Obama was nominated for the Peace Prize when he had been in office for only two weeks!. This award reveals the left’s love of fantasy over reality. Leftists all over the world have created a massive fantasy construction based around Obama being the mythic hero who will save the world by virtue of his being a superman who transcends the grubby vices that the rest of us wallow in. It’s like he’s cast as the uberhero in the pseudo-intellectual’s version of World of Warcraft and the geeks from Norway just logged on.
