For those liberals who don't get the bewilderment of many over the selection of Obama as recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize RedStateVT offers the following redaction of events circa 2003:
The Nobel Prize Committee today announced the selection of President George W. Bush as the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. In bestowing this award, the Committee cited Bush’s efforts to bring democracy to Iraq and Afghanistan. The Committee noted: “even though the final outcome of these efforts have not yet played out, President Bush stood steadfast, ignored those who said it could not or should not be done and at great risk to his own legacy promoted the cause of freedom.”
On another note, RedStateVT was pleased to see others picking up on yesterday's Obama - Carter syllogism. Here's a link from PajamasMedia:

In foreign affairs what's different about Obama is that he's so very open about his disdain for America. Carter at least kept up appearances when it came to being an American patriot.
ReplyDeleteObama openly flaunts his friendship with Americas sworn enemies, like Chavez, and quietly shows outright disdain for its friends and allies, like Gordon Brown. He prefers the company of dictators and thugs to that of democratically elected leaders. How else to explain Obama's effort to overthrow the constitutional government of Honduras with a Chavista accolyte.
