While I am the first to admit that the Left in this country revel in their esoteric ways, and that many are undoubtedly celebrating Obama's new title of Nobel Peace Laureate, I don't hold the prize against Obama. He had no hand in winning it, he had no say in his nomination, and he certainly hasn't made a big deal of it since finding out he won.
This is a HUGE distraction for him, however, and his opponents will get a lot of mileage out of the award and the manner and timing that it was given. He had, in the first two weeks of his Presidency (which was the deadline for his consideration for the award), done nothing to warrant the award... in my opinion... and the conservative right in this country will hold that over his head for the rest of his term.
This is what happens when elitists delve into the world of the esoteric... if they can't show that they have earned what they get, their esteem and prestige diminish. So, let's all take a lesson from Obama and the Left and not let ourselves fall into the trap of making ourselves out to be more than we really.
That is why I can't pass up the chance to point out that the term I think Ryan was going for in his last post is "exorbitant" and not "absorbent".
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
