RUSH: I have a public service, ladies and gentlemen. I think I need to warn all of you pundits out there who are calling for the violent overthrow of dictatorial leaders who are ignoring the will of the people, you better make it clear you’re talking about Khadafy, because if you don’t you’re gonna get an unwanted visit from the Secret Service. By the way, did not Obama win the Nobel Peace
But no, I’m serious about this. He got the Nobel Peace Prize on the come. It was like a down payment. It was an investment in what they were sure was to follow. It was one of the most ridiculous awards — and that’s saying something — it was one of the most ridiculous awards of that prize and something that in the real world would forever discredit that award. I mean you give it to somebody that hasn’t done diddly-squat. In addition, you give it to a guy who got where he is by virtue of anti-peaceful stuff, agitating, organizing, and all of that. So here we’ve got the Nobel Peace Prize winner and the world is on fire.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I was asking earlier in the program about Obama getting a Nobel Peace Prize on the come, you know, given the fact the world is blowing up, the Middle East is on fire. None of this was supposed to happen. Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything. He got the Nobel Peace Prize, what, he was in office six months? You know, I forget when that thing’s announced. It’s given away in October, November. I think he got the Peace Prize a couple months after being immaculated, hadn’t done anything and they said, ‘No, we fully expect peace to break out. The arrival of Obama on the scene is great news so we’re gonna give this thing to him on the come.’ And it’s laughable. It’s an absolute joke. So last night on CNN, The Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer is talking to The Forehead, Paul Begala, about the unrest in the Middle East and Obama, and Wolf Blitzer actually said…
BLITZER: Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. A lot of his critics didn’t think he deserved to win the Nobel Peace Prize, but he’s got a shot now at showing the world he does deserve it by what he could be doing in the Middle East and North Africa. Is he on a track to winning the Nobel Peace Prize again, Paul? What do you think?
BEGALA: Look at what he’s doing. He’s pursuing on all fronts, first off, with a remarkable calm, he’s not freaking out and invading the wrong country like his predecessor did after 9/11. He’s using our military power, three warships. He’s got Admiral Mullen going throughout the Middle East meeting and talking with allies, just in case. The secretary of state has gone to meet with our allies in Europe. He’s had his UN ambassador push through aggressive sanctions. On all fronts this president is moving, and he’s moving with real steel, but not frankly the sort of panic that we saw from his predecessor. I’m serious. I think any fair-minded person would give him high marks.
RUSH: Oh, wow. Any fair-minded person, pursuing all fronts, didn’t invade the wrong country. Well, let me tell you, Wolf, Forehead, just know this. Obama’s competition for the second Nobel Peace Prize is gonna be tough. The number one competitor, Julian Assange. That’s gonna be a tough one for the committee to decide on. Either that or Khadafy. Maybe Mubarak.
