In what has to be one of the most dramatic examples of the global elitist genuflection and obsequiousness before the presence of The One, it was announced today the President Barrack Obama has been awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — U.S. President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced Friday.

The committee cited Obama’s “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

The committee said Obama had created “a new climate in international politics.”

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said, in a news release. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.”

When this item showed up in my email this morning the first thought was that it was a joke. But then I remembered that the Nobel committee’s judgment has been routinely dynamited before such as when the they chose AlGore(2007), Jimmy Carter (2002) and, the pièce de résistance, Arafat (1994).

The news release by the Nobel committee could easily read as satire.

What was supposed to be an off the record comment during a CNBC interview, ended up being heard everywhere after an ABC News anchor twittered it. “Pres. Obama just called Kanye West a ‘jackass’ for his outburst at VMAs when Taylor Swift won. Now THAT’S presidential,” wrote Terry Moran.

Just now, the audio recording made its way to the internets. Kanye was unavailable for comment because his caps lock is broken.

Obama Joker posters have been popping up recently in Los Angeles with the title of “Socialism”. And some have reported spotting these posters in Hollywood too. Read more on the Obama Joker posters and see what Obama has to say in his own words on Socialism in the video below.

The posters of Obama portrayed as the Joker from “Batman” have been spotted in Los Angeles posted on the freeway on ramp. Thus far, no one seems to know who is responsible for these posters of Obama.

How will people mocking Obama and his stance on medical reform affect his popularity?

It seems most of the American public finds Obama to be a huge joke. See what Obama has to say on Socialism in his own words below.
