Nobel Committee seeks to strip Obama of Peace Prize. (http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/304909)

The Bolivian President and a Russian political leader have launched a campaign to revoke Obama's honour after the US attacked Libya.

Liberal Democratic Party of Russia leader and Vice-Chairman of the State Duma Vladimir Zhirinovsky released a statement today calling for the Nobel Prize Committee to take back the honour bestowed on US President Barack Obama in 2009.

Zhirinovsky said the attacks were "another outrageous act of aggression by NATO forces and, in particular, the United States," and that the attacks demonstrated a "colonial policy" with "one goal: to establish control over Libyan oil and the Libyan regime." He said the prize was now hypocritical as a result.

Bolivian President Evo Morales echoed the call: "How is it possible that a Nobel Peace Prize winner leads a gang to attack and invade? This is not a defence of human rights or self-determination."

Morales won the Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights in 2006.

He is amongst a number of left-leaning Latin American leaders who have denounced the attacks against Libya. Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Rafael Correa of Ecuador, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua and Cristina Ferdinez of Argentina have all criticised western media coverage of the Libyan crisis.

Morales and Chavez repeated calls for peace talks with Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi.

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples." The Committee praised the "change in the international climate" affected by Obama's presidency.

In his Nobel Lecture, he discussed the "hard truth" of the inevitability of war, saying: "There will be times when nations — acting individually or in concert — will find the use of force not only necessary but morally justified."

A message has been widely retweeted on Twitter today: "Obama has now fired more cruise missiles than all other Nobel Peace prize winners combined."

Yeah, uhh huh...

Just more dissatisfied leftist trash feeling let down by the leftist trash they thought was their leftist trash, which he is, but they want to be seen as more pure leftist trash than this leftist trash, so they spout off and get the gutter-dwellers nodding their heads in unison...

Just don't hold your breath, if they didn't take Gore's Nobel and Oscar back for lying his fat ass off left and right...do you really think the Nobel Committee is gonna take a prize away from the Duh Wun?!

No way in hell!

But it is ironic and funny as hell though!

I don't want them to take it away. That would look (for some at least) like an admission that they had made a mistake that they are now correcting. They're doing nothing of the sort. All they're doing is trying to sweep an embarrassment under the rug.

As long as they fail to acknowledge that giving the least worthy person on the planet an "pro-active" meritorious award rendered the award itself worthless. It should be shoved up their butts at every turn.

Zhirinovsky is the one who claims Russia is going to take back Alaska. And there's nothing "left leaning" about Morales, Chavez, and the rest of that trash. They're basically full blown Marxists.

But I do enjoy seeing Obama and his sycophants hoisted by their own petard.

The article says the committee was only asked by others, they themselves haven't discussed stripping him of it.
Sorry for the pedantic observation....

But either way, it ain't gonna' happen, I don't think. Unless he/we screw up and the socialists running the committee want to embarrass him or us.
Frankly, I'm already embarrassed! ::unknowncomic::
