On October 9, 2009, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize from the Norwegian Nobel Committee. What's interesting about Obama's winning the award was that he was nominated in February. He took office as president on January 20. It sounds very premature for him to receive this "coveted" award when you consider the fact he hasn't accomplished anything in regards to establishing "peace" around the world. As of yet, President Obama hasn't done anything to stem Iran's quest to create a nuclear bomb to wipe Israel off the face of the map or to destroy the United States and the West with a nuclear bomb. Let's take a quick look into this Nobel Peace Prize.
The Nobel Peace Prize was named after it's founder Alfred Nobel. Nobel was a Swedish chemist and an industrialist. He invented the high explosive dynamite. He was also was great in literature as well. Nobel had a will written in 1895 which left 94% of his considerable estate to fund five prizes which amounted to approximately $560 million in U.S. dollars in 2007. Nobel's will provided the money which would be divided into five equal parts. The fifth part allocated one part of Nobel's prize fund. The fifth part was the "Nobel Peace Prize" which went to the person who "shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding of promotion of peace congresses."
Alfred Nobel was a liberal in regards to his political thinking. When you take a look at the state of Europe today and their government, it's socialist. They have a collectivist view of society. President Obama's views mirrors those of Europe today. I believe Obama's views of government are even more radical than those of Europe. Obama is considered a "rock star" to the world. Hence, it shouldn't be surprising that he was awarded this prize. He fits well with Europe and even the Muslim world in the Middle East. Obama is a globalist when it comes to his views on foreign policy. He isn't going to stand up to the aggression that we're seeing in Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He will go to the United Nations when it comes to seeking sanctions against Iran or North Korea. He isn't the type of leader to stand in the gap and take a stand against any country that's a nuclear threat or a harm to the Western Hemisphere. Ever since he's been president he's been globetrotting around the world apologizing for America's past sins. America has had her share of problems, but there's been no country that's been the leader of the free world like America has. When immigrants leave their native countries, they choose America? Why? Because America has been a bastion of freedom around the world for over a couple of centuries. The immigrants have migrated to America in search of a better life.
What does it mean since Obama has received this "prestigious" award? All it means is that Obama is popular with Europe and those other countries around the world. Obama doesn't understand the meaning of peace. He and those that are socialist in their thinking believe appeasement is peace. You can't appease those countries that have dictators that are a threat to the structural balance of the Western world. When there's a country who has an aggressive dictator, they must be dealt with firmly and know if they use nuclear weapons in certain countries, we're going after them. Sometimes you must have war in order to have peace. If we didn't fight the forces of Nazi Germany, Italy, and Japan during World War II, we wouldn't know America as it is today. We would've been dominated by Adolf Hitler and would've been speaking German. Obama hasn't demonstrated he knows anything about peace. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are still continuing with no clear end in sight and Iran and North Korea want to launch weapons toward the United States. What a joke that Obama has been granted this award. Obama joins past presidents in receiving this award along with Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Jimmy Carter
