President Obama Jokes About His Nobel Peace Prize: ‘What Did I Win Mine For Again?’

Jan. 28, 2013 1:55pm

President Obama apparently has at least some capacity to laugh at himself. In video taped remarks last night to the closed door, hyper-exclusive annual dinner of the Alfalfa Club, President Obama let loose a joke that apparently got the entire room chortling. The Washington Post reports:

And President Obama sent a comic video message congratulating the night’s honoree, with whom he said he had a lot in common. Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Price for negotiating an end to the Vietnam War; β€œandΒ I won mineΒ for. . . ”

He looked off camera. β€œWhat did I win mine for?”

For those wondering why the topic of dubiously deserved prizes came up at all: The Alfalfa Club had honored Nobel Prize-winning former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at the event, naming him their mock “nominee” for President. One presumes the President felt it would be awkward not to acknowledge Kissinger’s achievement somehow, even if he did end up making it about him.

By the way, this isn’t the first time the president has poked fun at his controversial award. Back in May 2011 while praising Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Obama joked, “Chu’s the right guy to do this, he’s got a Nobel prize in physics β€” he actually deserved his Nobel prize.” You can watch those below:

    The fact he couldn’t come up with a reason off the cuff is enough evidence of his unworthiness to what used to be such a prestigious award. Roman emperors could not resist giving themselves titles and triumphs(the victory parade kind0 they had not earned. Looks like this president has imperial aspirations.

    I wasn’t thinking clearly when I spoke then my SS men have been giving me a really HARD time about security lately. I had to bend over backwards to accommodate three of them last night but it was worth it let me tell ya. Oh yes why did I receive my Nobel? I not only control my media in new Amerika but I control the media worldwide,it turns out they think I’m the smartest man in the world just like the idiots in new Amerika. I swear to myself you people are sooooooooo stupid,I can do anything I want and you think i’m always right.

    Is Obama Demanding Military Must Be Willing to Fire on US Citizens?

    Is the new litmus test for military leadership under the Obama administration the willingness of a soldier to fire on U.S. citizens?

      Actually, the oath says ‘enemies, foreign and domestic’. They just have to convince solders that ordinary citizens are enemies. My dad was in the army during Vietnam (drafted, of course). He was put on alert for ‘riot control’ in DC during anti-war protests. He said he couldn’t wait to go and shot a few draft dodging dope smoking hippies! Now, they are filling the army w/ queers and minorites. So. it shouldn’t be hard to get them to pull the trigger.

    I thought he won it, because the press was deeply in love with him. The press in other countries, at least, have come to their senses. Obama should have never won a Nobel and that shows the world just what a farce it really is.

      Come on, he got the Nobel prize because he gave a really good speech. If anyone has ever had to do public speaking, getting though it is hard enough, but to give a really good speech, that is award worthy. Anyone can negociate a peace treaty to a 20 year war, anyone can come up with a cure to a major illness, or come up with the secret to the universe. But giving a really good speech, you just don’t see that everyday.

    His joking about the Nobel Peace Prize he received really is cloaked in self glorification. He revels in reminding us that he is so special, that he got that award even before he killed Bin Laden. We’re so lucky to have this hero as our president. wink, wink

    Its called “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.”

    It means you got it just for being BLACK, not for any actual accomplishment.

    And it is the reason why EVERYONE wonders if their black doctor, black accountant, or black lawyer is actually QUALIFIED or got there via affirmative action…

      This is true in the liberal agenda to build up blacks in America the standards have dropped not progress. You see it in all areas of employment. Test considered racist because the black that had the same public education that white had couldn’t pass them. Test aren’t racist people are ignorant or just plain unwilling apply themselves in an educational enviroment

      Hey Monk and RJJ:

      Monk, just remember at work tonight, think of Carney, everyday he gets shower raped while being fed the days talking points, afterwards has to go sit on Uncle Joe’s lap and search his pockets for candy, and at the end of the evening, has to get back into his Gimp Trunk until the next day. So your job could be worse and as for bosses, I told you about the psycho I worked for at one time.

      Both of you have a blessed day and my God always guide you.
