I think the biggest joke would be if Obama gets reelected.

I thought he won it for things they thought he would do, since he hadn't actually done anything to that point but get elected. His actions since then wouldn't seem to warrant the award. Can they cut revocation orders and take the money back?

I think the wording is broadly vague enough that unless he starts WW∞, it would be much easier to revoke an SF Tab.
The Nobel Peace Prize 2009 was awarded to Barack H. Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".
http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/p...aureates/2009/
I'm not saying he won't one day achieve the honorarium suggested in the title of this thread and the guy IMO may be a first class political huckster in a primus inter pares fashion, but the historical record of some of our Presidents 'achievements' shows that BHO has a long ways to go before being awarded the title of "Weakest President in History"...especially by a British journalist. 
And so it goes...

Alright, how about a middle-aged white guy with an outstanding record of personal achievement?

Watch how loud he and his minions yell "Bush's Fault, blame the Tea Party" for all of his stellar failures..
And they will love him even more..

I thought the pundits had already decided that "middle-aged white guys with outstanding records of personal achievement" had to step aside to make room for "diversity"?

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

Not that guy - he's busy politicing to become the first General of the Army (5 stars) since Omar Bradley attained the rank in 1950, not the Presidency...and as been shown throughout History, success in one arena - especially the military - does not necessarily equate to achieving equal levels of success in other spheres...especially when it comes to politics.
And so it goes...

I haven't read the whole thread yet. But I heard a good explanation about Obamas actions or lack of.
Obama has Zero experience with making decisions that involve life and death. Even State Governors hold peoples life in their decisions. Because I know someone will ask. Death penalty, give the green light to high profile Police operations, disasters...etc. I'm sure Obamas staff is as lame as the one they serve..
