Regrets much, huh? Next time…

Obama Nobel prize…give out the Nobel Prize for, you know, actual and world class achievement award instead of as little more than a “everyone wins a trophy!”:

Nobel panel saw Obama peace prize as ‘mistake,’ new book claims

The former director of Norway’s Nobel Institute revealed this week that he regrets the committee’s decision to give the 2009 Nobel Peace award to President Obama.

Geil Lundestad, director at the institute for 25 years, said in his just-published memoir that he and the committee had unanimously decided to grant the award to Mr. Obama just after his election in 2009 more in hopes of aiding the American president to achieve his goals on nuclear disarmament, rather than in recognition of what Mr. Obama had already accomplished.

Nuclear disarmament – ’bout the only folks that got disarmed so far  as a result of this Prize has been us.  Has North Korea disarmed? Has Pakistan disarmed?  How about Iran – do you think that just because Obama got a Nobel that the Iranian mullahs would go “Hey! No nukes for us!”.  Nope, instead we’ve seen Mr. Disarmament pave the way for them to get the bomb.

Looking back over Mr. Obama’s presidency, Mr. Lundestad said, granting him the award did not fulfill the committee’s expectations.

Join the crowd, sport, he hasn’t fulfilled a whole lot of our expectations either.  Instead, he’s been very successful for a lot of nightmares but at least we haven’t given him an award for “hoping” – but YOU did, didn’t you? What will your words be the first time we see “Allahu Akbar” write large in a white flash of light far hotter than our Sun?  Or will your reaction be that of the Left: “well, our intentions were good (weren’t they)?”

Once again, we see the Left continue to lower bars of achievement so low they mean nothing at all.  Debasement is all they seem to know – taking excellence and grinding it into the mud.
