Despite taking office only two weeks before the nomination deadline, the world has been so smitten with Barack Obama and "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Specifically, Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Committee citing his "outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation." (Source: Townhall.com)-

Soapbox Note: While he may not be the antichrist, Barack Obama is a major advocate of "one-worldism". And today he received the Nobel Prize for that very reason. It is important to note that he is not the first sitting president to be given the award. In fact, both Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt won the prize while they were in office. Wilson was awarded in 1919 for helping to found the League of Nations and Roosevelt won 1906 for his work ending the Russo-Japanese War. I find it interesting that Obama is in the same company with Wilson and Roosevelt. After all, it was Roosevelt who was the pioneer of the modern progressive movement in the US, and it was Wilson's League of Nations idea that was the seed which grew into the United Nations. If you think about it, Obama is kind of a ideological hybrid of these two men. He embodies the social collectivism of Roosevelt with the internationalism of Wilson. Under Obama's leadership not only will individuals continued to be stripped of their rights domestically, but internationally America will relinquish even more sovereignty to global governance. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the extremely liberal leaning Nobel Committee gives him another one next year.
