Remember when President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and everyone was bitching and moaning that he hadn't done anything to deserve it? Aside from liberal losers like Glenn Greenwald, the bitching mostly came from folks on the right, who haven't liked the Peace Prize since Ronald Reagan failed to win it himself. But, never mind.
This afternoon, we cats have the Nobel on our minds. We've been inspired by Nicholas Kristof's moving column in today's New York Times, in which he documented Libyans' gratitude to the United States for helping them overthrow Muammar Ghadafi. "Thank you, Americans," they shout. "Thank you, President Obama."
Although the President was ridiculed earlier this year as allegedly having been "henpecked" by female advisers who feared atrocities in Libya if NATO didn't act, the last few days' horrifying slaughter of rebel prisoners by pro-Ghadafi forces proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Secretary Clinton, Ambassador Rice and NSA aide Samantha Power — and by extension, President Obama — were right.
In other words, we cats think that President Obama has more than earned his Nobel.
Note to teabaggers and liberal losers: The President may not await your apology, but we do.
P.S. Interestingly, Greenwald has posted a link to Kristof's column on his Salon page today, without apparent comment. What a coward, what a weenie. We cats HISS.
