Midknight Review -- new and revised: AOL defends Obama's Nobel Peace Prize. Who cares when he got the prize when, in fact, he accomplished next to nothing when it came to world peace.

AOL: President Trump told reporters at the United Nations Monday that while he was deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize, he didn’t expect to be awarded one.
“I think I’m going to get a Nobel Prize for a lot of things, if they gave it out fairly, which they don’t,” Trump said following a bilateral meeting with Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
As do many U.S. conservatives, Trump then voiced frustration that former President Barack Obama received the award in 2009.
“Well, they gave one to Obama immediately upon his ascent to the presidency and he had no idea why he got it,” Trump said despite not being asked about his predecessor.
“You know what, that was the only thing I agreed with him on.”
Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize more than a year and a half into his first term of office. In its announcement, the committee said it was giving it to Obama “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples,” and singled out his “vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.”

By the time Obama got the prize, he had already delivered a speech to "the Muslim people" (his words) but - actually - he gave his speech to the students at the University of Cairo (June of 2009). The student body was polite in their applause and Barack, promising that this was a " new beginning" in U.S. / Muslim relations, never went back nor did he follow-up on his visit to the University in any way. By the time he received his prize, Barack was already crafting an alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood and applauded the Brotherhood's eventual effort to take over Egypt. He pulled out of Iraq and allowed ISIS to fester and grow and refused to exterminate this murdering hord. He used Iran as his proxy to fund radical Islam, and, at every turn, worked to defeat the conservative government in Israel. And by the time he finished his 2nd term, none of the Middle East leadership outside of Iran, trust him ny further than could vomit. And Trump straightened out that miss, before his second year was finished. OF COURSE, he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize, but, that too, is all about politics.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
