Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) said today that President Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize as a reward for making the country weaker and appealing to the global community.
From the Oklahoman:
[Inhofe said Obama] got the prize for "de-emphasizing defense in favor of multi-national cooperation,'' an approach with which Inhofe disagrees.
Inhofe worries that the prize could go to Obama's head, and lead him to "de-emphasize defense" even more, especially on the battlefields of Afghanistan.
"If he genuinely was on the fence, and now he gets this prize, it could lead him to reject the feelings of the military commanders" calling for more troops, Inhofe said.

This has got to be the best one yet. Inhofe is distraught because they gave him a peace prize for choosing cooperation over fighting. I guess Inhofe is just inherently opposed to peace in any form!

Senator Inhofe, I'm sad to say, is the senior Senator from my state. I am NOT sad to say that he does not speak for me. I will also state, for the record, that he is an idiot.

Inbredhofe is weak in the powers of reasoning. Statements he makes show that his thought process is the equivalent of a bumper car ride at an Oklahoma carnival. I look forward to him going "International Retard" at the climate conference coming up. The world already understands how intelligent our president is, now let them see how hard he has to work to achieve his goals when he's up against a stump stupid ingoramus like Inbredhofe. It will only impress them more.

Imhofe apparently believes invading countries that are no threat to us, bogging down our military, killing tens of thousands, creating a Al Qaeda University for Terror, with curriculum emphasis on subjects like IED and VBIED production and suicide bombing, while also wearing out billions in defense hardware and adding trillions to the national debt in the bloody shifting sands of Mesopotamia is strengthening America.
