Statement from Gresham Barrett on the Nobel Prize

COLUMBIA, SC – U.S. Congressman Gresham Barrett, Republican candidate for Governor, today released the following statement regarding President Obama receiving the Nobel Prize:

“Congratulations to President Obama on his prize. I’m not sure what the international community loved best; his waffling on Afghanistan, pulling defense missiles out of Eastern Europe, turning his back on freedom fighters in Honduras, coddling Castro, siding with Palestinians against Israel, or almost getting tough on Iran. The world may love it, but following in the footsteps of Jimmy Carter is not where America needs to go. Hopefully, this surprise award will give the President cause to reevaluate his current course.”

    I wonder what he’ll do with the approx $1.4 million he gets along with his medal? I bet he pockets it.

    The same committee gave M. Gorbachov the same prize for having dismantled the former USSR. That committee gives now BHO the prize for dismantling the US.

    BOH may be barred from receiving gifts while president. I think all gifts are gifts to the Nation. So, maybe he will reduce the debt while raising it.

    you tell, ‘em, Greshie. Why can’t that meanie Obama leave well enough alone in Afghanistan? Why, we’ve only been there eight years. He should have more patience, gosh darn it. And maybe he has forgotten how well things went when Reagan fixed Central America in the Eighties. Go Ronnie!!!!

    Now I have to get back to cheering about Chicago not getting the Olympics. GO OTHER CITIES!!!!! BOO CHICAGO!!!!
