Nobel Surprize
Comments (0) Personally, I thought that Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize was out of left field but what I think is more interesting is how the Republican party is reacting to it. In a fundraising message, Michael Steele (the Republican National Committee chief) wrote the following:
“The Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control,” Steele wrote. “And truly patriotic Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in their way.”

And Rush Limbaugh said this regarding Obama’s award:
“Folks, do you realize something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn’t deserve the award,” he said. “Now that’s hilarious, that I’m on the same side of something with the Taliban, and that we all are on the same side as the Taliban.”
So the Republican part is both saying that the Obama administration’s “leftist” allies (read: Europe) are on his side while the Taliban and Iran are on the Republican’s side. Let me get this straight: the U.S.’s strongest allies agree with the Democrats while the GOP is touting that they agree with our enemies? They have to see the disconnect, right?
