Newt Gingrich Quote of the Year

I saw this quote by Newt Gingrich on Obama today for the first time. Epic!

As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, America gave him the White House based on the same credentials.

Ouch!

Former Nobel Director Regrets Obama’s Peace Prize

From The Daily Caller:

In 2009, Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize just one year into his presidency.

More accurately, his selection was announce in October of 2009. However, his nomination has to be in by February 1, 2009. a mere 10 days after being sworn in a President of the United States.

Now, nearly six years later, former director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute is having doubts about the decision. In a recently published memoir called “Secretary of Peace: 25 years with the Nobel Prize,” Geil Lundestad wrote the committee reached a unanimous decision to award Obama the prize.

He should just admit the award was giving the middle finger to Former President George W. Bush.

In the memoir, Lundestad admitted that granting Obama the award did not fulfill the committee’s expectations.

“Many of Obama’s supporters believed it was a mistake,” Lundestad wrote. “As such it did not achieve what the committee had hoped for.”

Since the Dear Leader was a stealth candidate, with virtually no known accomplishments, when he was elected. (and still basically none up until now.) It really can't be that much of a surprise, he's done nothing of note yet.
