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

Jan. 28, 2013 1:55pm Mytheos Holt

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; “and I won mine for. . . ”

He looked off camera. “What 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 — he actually deserved his Nobel prize.” You can watch those below:

I will never pray or mourn for this disgusting individual, or his wife, no matter what problems or ailments their lives bring them. They are bullies, using their power of office to bully us.
I have never felt this way about anyone before.
I hope their daughters grow to become good people.

Why would anyone accept such a meaningless insignificant award such as the Nobel peace prize?

That’s funny Mr. Fuhrer…. I was wondering why you won one as well…. And then I thought… Ohh.. Yeah.. Most every winner of the Nobel Prize in the last 10 years, has been dictators and violent despots.

Obama fits right in…

That is why the nobel peace prize means nothing to most of the world. It has become a joke. “That Guy”, Arafat, and others and as BLACKCROW said it was a shot at George Bush.

Ask Jimmy Carter–he received his as an affront to ‘W’ so we can only assume King Barry got his for the same reason. History will not be kind to this King when people look at his reign from a distance. Jimmy Carter has to be happy since he is no longer the worst President to occupy the White House!

  Duck,
  Actually BHOle is the 4th worst potus we have had…we have Washington, Jefferson, & Lincoln, tied for 1st, then there are 22 tied for 2nd and another 18 tied for 3rd…that leaves BHOle in 4th…

Lance Armstrong is a perfect of example of prizes being taken away; with or without his own admission, for being a fake.

If for no other reason, President Obama’s (not so) humorous acknowledgements
–that he did nothing to warrant the Nobel Peace Prize–
should be enough for his name to be stricken from the record of recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize.

He has deliberately tried to pit Americans against eachother;
blacks vs whites,
latinos vs conservatives white men,
women vs conservatives,
government control vs religious freedom
government control vs individual success

The committee was on Obama-hope steroids.
>They were doped !

Just a reminder, Barak. You did absolutely NOTHING to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s like a third world religions’ call to prayer; it never ends. W\e see, hear, and live this POS 24-7. One can turn the TV at anytime and look…there he is again! Like a recurring nightmare.

Undeserved then, and undeserved now. He carries on his own private drone war, perusing and approving targets during the Tuesday “kill list” meetings. Idi Amin Obama.

Make me puke and sadly he didn’t do anything to earn it in the first place. The panel who gave it to him had some sort of brain lapse as to how you earn something like that.

You don’t deserve it. You know you don’t deserve it. But you won’t give it back. More proof this man is a narcisist.

What’s it matter. The Nobel Prize has meant nothing since Gore won it.

You won it for nothing at all. You won it for saying the same crappe that Miss America contestants say when asked “What do you pray for?” “World peace.”

Once again Obama shows his stupidity, one doesn’t WIN the Nobel Prize, it is an award. I wish this President would stop being an embarrassment to Our Country.
