Peaceful is as peaceful does!

At the crack of dawn the White House press secretary was roused by the loud ring-a-ding-ding of a telephone.
No, it wasn't General McChystal, inviting Barack out for a morning jog with a bit of male bonding in mind.
Officials were calling long-distance from Denmark to inform the President (and the missus) that the Prez's nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize prevailed.
When the news began to zig-zag around the corridors of power on Capitol Hill, some were inclined to shake their heads in disbelief.
A Nobel Peace!
For what?
Indeed, the unexpected windfall fell into Obama's lap at a time when voters and politicians (on both sides of the floor) were deriding the President for flip-flopping on policy, being wishy-washy (falling short of any defining action on pressing issues in respect to Health Care and the Military, for starters), and not following through on campaign promises.
After a bit of relection, it appears the coveted prize may have been bestowed on the President for a myriad of reasons - which may include - the following:
* Bombing the moon
(to appease water-bottlers seeking novel liquid products to boost the economy)
* Name-calling
(putting a fellow Politician in his place by labelling him a jacka**)
* Wearing "Mom" Jeans
(with little or no embarassment and to engender (!) the queering of our youth)
* Setting the Military straight about "who's the boss"
(thus ending the mother of all conflicts)
Surely, you don't concur with the overseas Committee, that Barack Obama was entitled to be receipient of the honor because of "extradordinary efforts to strengthen International diplomacy and cooperation"?
Especially when you consider one over-riding fact.
Barack Obama was only in office for approximately two weeks (accomplishing didley-squat) when the nomination for consideration was submitted to the Committee in Denmark just shy of the deadline in February.
Was someone jumping the - um - gun?
Barack Obama is one of three sitting Presidents in U.S. History to have received the honor.
In the case of the two other honorees, each was a seasoned politician, with years of glowing accomplishments under their belts.
Does this Nobel Peace Prize pass the smell taste?
No matter.
Barack's critics (and hateful opponents) are eating crow!
Yum!
Toeing the line in Washington!
