Obama to travel to Oslo to accept Nobel Peace Prize

Robert Gibbs announced in a briefing that President Obama would go to Oslo, Norway to personally accept his Nobel Peace Prize.

The question is; Will Mr. Obama travel to Oslo on the taxpayer’s dime to accept a check for his own personal gain? Will Michelle fly a day or two ahead to tour and shop in Oslo on the taxpayer’s dime?

God forbid G.W. Bush would be jet setting to Oslo to accept an award. Then again, that would never happen, a Republican gaining such recognition. Reagan is very deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize for his policies that brought down the Soviet Union, but his accomplishments are ignored. I digress.

Obama was in office just 10 days when the Nobel nomination deadline arrived. Who would have imagined such leadership and greatness in such a short span of time?

Still, one would think that Obama would pay for his own travel expenses to Oslo to accept his cash reward. After all, the trip will be for Mr. Obama’s own personal gain and enrichment.

The best thing Mr. Obama could do is to send a representative to Oslo to bag his prize. It would be easier on the taxpayer's pocketbook. Better yet, Mr. Obama could show a touch of class and just turn the honor down. The fact of the matter is, there are more deserving and more accomplished people who should be given the Nobel Peace Prize.

History will record that Mr. Obama was just a community organizer from Chicago who lacked the experience to lead the free world. History will note that Mr. Obama merely presided over a mediocre presidency that was on par or less than that of Jimmy Carter’s term in office. Ultimately, it will be shown that Mr. Obama will never have been deserving of such an honor.

If anything, Mr. Obama should have been nominated for an Oscar, not a Nobel Peace Prize for his performance as one who unapologetically loves his country, its principles and its Constitution. That performance has been more believable to the leftard lemmings that fawn over Mr. Obama, than has been the performance of acting as a great political leader and peacemaker. Then again, I may be wrong. It is those leftist lemmings who think Mr. Obama is deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize, even if he has accomplished nothing to get the prize.

When Mr. Obama wraps up his campaign and photo op stop in Oslo, perhaps he can return to the United States to engage in the work of the American People. He might consider endorsing his Nobel Peace Prize check over to the U.S. Treasury to reimburse the American people for his travel expenses, meals, lodging and Secret Service protection.
