<b>Rush Limbaugh pounces on Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize</b>
Conservatives pounced on the the Nobel Prize committee's decision to award President Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, with talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh calling it a "greater embarrassment" than losing the Olympics.
<b>"This fully exposes the illusion that is Barack Obama," Limbaugh told POLITICO in an e-mail. "And with this 'award' the elites of the world are urging Obama, THE MAN OF PEACE, to not do the surge in Afghanistan, not take action against Iran and its nuclear program and to basically continue his intentions to emasculate the United States."
Limbaugh continued: "They love a weakened, neutered U.S and this is their way of promoting that concept. I think God has a great sense of humor, too."</b>
The Nobel award comes a week to the day after Obama's personal pitch for the 2016 Olympics in Chicago was rejected by the International Olympic Committee.
Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele echoed the view:<b> âThe real question Americans are asking is, âWhat has President Obama actually accomplished?â It is unfortunate that the presidentâs star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain â President Obama wonât be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.â</b>
