http://bit.ly/5cjeUI - - - Barack Obama's trip to Oslo to pick up his Nobel peace award is in danger of being overshadowed by a row over the cancellation of a series of events normally attended by the prizewinner.
Norwegians are incensed over what they view as his shabby response to the prize by cutting short his visit. The White House has cancelled many of the events peace prize laureates traditionally submit to, including a dinner with the Norwegian Nobel committee, a press conference, a television interview, appearances at a children's event promoting peace and a music concert, as well as a visit to an exhibition in his honour at the Nobel peace centre. He has also turned down a lunch invitation from the King of Norway. - - - President Hussein loves to bow to monarchs---unless they are Caucasian. I'm surprised the King didn't even get a lousy "Yes We Can!" T-shirt, or an iPod of the One's speeches. These idiots deserve what they get---how anyone cannot see what a petty, self-absorbed man-child Barry is, and yet decide to lavish praises and prizes on him before he's accomplished a single thing, only demonstrates the kind of gullibility that gives rise to tyrants and dangerous narcissists who bite the hand of Western freedom and democracy that feeds them. Even Bush didn't make these kinds of protocol blunders. Except they're not blunders, but deliberate snubs. - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
