THE CONSERVATIVE REVIEW - October 16, 2009
The Affirmative Action Nobel
by Pat Buchanan
All my life, said Voltaire, I have had but one prayer:
"O Lord, make my enemies look ridiculous. And God granted
it."
In awarding the Nobel Prize for Peace to Barack Obama, the
Nobel committee has just made itself look ridiculous.
Consider. Though they had lead roles in ending a Cold War
lasting half a century, between a nuclear-armed Soviet
Empire and the West, neither Ronald Reagan nor John Paul
II ever got a Nobel Prize.
In 1987, Reagan negotiated the greatest arms reduction
treaty in modern time, the INF agreement removing all
Soviet SS-20s and all U.S. Pershing and cruise missiles
from Europe.
Other than hosting the "Beer Summit" between Sgt. James
Crowley of the Cambridge Police and Harvard Professor
Henry Louis Gates, what has Obama done to compare with
what these statesmen did to make ours a more peaceful
and better world?

UV STERIBRUSH TOOTHBRUSH SANITIZER
Germ-fighting technology found in hospitals & dental
practices...
Health Store Price: $19.99
Our List Price: $9.99
TODAY'S DEAL PRICE: $5.99
SteriBrush uses the same germ-fighting technology found
in hospitals and dental practices. It's automatically
activated when either of the two doors are closed. The
ultra violet (UV) bulb kills germs to prevent the spread
of harmful bacteria. The unit stays on for 10 minutes and
will automatically turn off when it is done.
SteriBrush has been designed to accommodate all toothbrush
styles, including most electric toothbrush heads. It
contains two toothbrush compartments and uses 4 "AA"
batteries (not included).
Grab one at this amazing price, but sorry we must limit
you to no more than four (4) per order.

What has Obama accomplished to compare with what the other
sitting presidents to receive the Nobel Prize accomplished?
Theodore Roosevelt won in 1906 for the Portsmouth Treaty
that ended the Russo-Japanese War. Woodrow Wilson won
the 1919 Nobel Prize for getting Germany to accept his
14 Points as the basis for an armistice that ended the
bloodiest war in all of European history.
And what about Richard Nixon?
In 1972, he made his historic trip to China, ending a
quarter century of hostility, negotiated SALT I with
Leonid Brezhnev, limiting ICBMs, and ended U.S. involve-
ment in Vietnam. True, Nixon persuaded Hanoi to sign the
Paris Peace Accords only after 13 days of "Christmas
bombing."
Yet that did not deter the Nobel committee from giving the
1973 prize to Henry Kissinger and Hanoi 's Le Duc Tho.
Early in the week his award was announced, Obama snubbed
the Dalai Lama, the 1989 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize,
who has spent 50 years as a courageous voice for the rights
of his Tibetan people, who have endured half a century of
Chinese communist repression and cultural genocide. Which
of these -- the Dalai Lama or Barack Obama -- seems more
deserving of a Nobel Prize for Peace?

Since the news broke, the president has been a national
object of mockery and mirth. In fairness, this is not his
fault. There is no evidence he lobbied for the prize; no
evidence he knew it was coming.
"Is this April Fools' Day?" said one startled aide.
In accepting, Barack was properly humble, saying that he
did not belong in the company of previous recipients, that
he would try to live up to the expectations his Nobel had
created.
It is the members of the Nobel committee who have made
fools of themselves and further devalued their prize, if
that is still possible.
For how many Americans could, without Google, identify
Shirin Ebadi, Wangari Maathai, Muhammad Yunus and Martti
Ahtisaari? Who are they? The 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2008
winners of the Nobel Prize for Peace. In that company at
least, Barack, for his willingness to talk to America's
adversaries and enemies, is not outshone.
Indeed, looking down the list of other recipients in this
decade -- Jimmy Carter in 2002, Muhammad ElBaradei in
2005, Al Gore in 2007 and Obama -- the committee should
probably rename it the Nobel Prize for Peace... and Stick-
It-to-George Bush Trophy.

By 2002, Carter, who should have been included in the 1978
Nobel that went to Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat for the
Israeli-Egyptian peace he brokered at Camp David, had
become a global pest, bedeviling Bush, as he did Bill
Clinton, in violation of the tradition of ex-presidents,
all the while accomplishing nothing.
While the International Atomic Energy Agency was right
about no atomic weapons or programs in Iraq, ElBaradai
himself regretted not having been more courageous in
opposing the war. As for Gore, his prize was the
committee's way of providing publicity for a campaign
against global warming that is a front for the latest
scheme to advance world government.
As for Obama, he got the award because he is the quint-
essential anti-Bush. Yet, the Nobel committee did him no
service.
They have brazenly meddled in the internal affairs of the
United States. They have reinforced the impression that
Obama is someone who is forever being given prizes -- Ivy
League scholarships, law review editorships, prime-time
speaking slots at national conventions -- he did not
earn. They have put him under moral pressure to mollify
a pacifist left. They have brought him to the point,
dangerous in politics, where a man becomes the butt of
reflexive jokes, as did Bill Clinton in the Monica affair.
These Norwegian groupies, acting out of "adolescent
adulation," writes the Financial Times, have exposed
themselves as "an annex to the left wing of the U.S.
Democratic Party" with a "deeply misguided act" that
will "embarrass (Obama's) allies and egg on his
detractors."
The committee did something else. They ensured that their
Nobel Peace Prize will never be taken as seriously again
as once it was.
