Saturday Night Live is at it again — making fun of The Won. This time for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, which means that CNN must be firing up their fact checking team again…
Though this is barely making fun of Obama (and barely funny)…personally I think they went a little easy on the guy.

While there are some people in its history who have received the Nobel Peace Prize that deserved it a hell-of-a-lot less than Barack Obama (Henry Kissinger and Yassar Arafat come instantly to mind), I don’t think the good folks in Olslo did the president any favors by presenting the Nobel to him so early in his presidency.
Woodrow Wilson received his in 1919 only after his work for the League of Nations (at considerable cost to his own physical health).
Theodore Roosevelt obtained his prize in 1906 after negotiating an end to the war between Japan and Russia.
Jimmy Carter got his (post-presidency)after bringing Egypt and Israel together – no small feat!
All due respect to the president – after all, he never solicited this award and it was as much of a surprise to him as it was to everybody else – but what the hell has HE done for peace lately?
Am I missing something?

Tom, actually Jimmah got his more for his negotiations with North Korea than the Camp David accord, as the same socialists on the Nobel committee proclaimed it as being for “decades” of their view of promoting peace. Irrespective of his responsibility for ushering in the modern era of terrorism with the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
It seems the socialists on the Nobel committee fired a pre-emptive strike on W with the selection of Jimmah, and a Parthenian shot at W with Jimmah On Speed being selected last week.
Carter Gets His Peace Prize and North Korea Develops Nukes.
If I remember correctly Obama spoke in some broken spanish during the elections to all the dumb latinos out there…..I think he deserves a Latin Grammy for that.
Doesn’t Obama like to watch College Football?…..i think he deserves to win the Heisman for that.
