Diplomacy and Herring

According to a poll published by the daily tabloid VG, 44% of Norwegians believe it was rude of Obama to cancel his scheduled lunch with King Harald, with only 34% saying they believe it was acceptable.

"Of all the things he is cancelling, I think the worst is cancelling the lunch with the king," said Siv Jensen, the leader of the largest party in opposition, the populist Progress party. "This is a central part of our government system.
He should respect the monarchy," she told VG.
That's because a Black man ain't gonna bow down to any honky. Asian yes, and Muslim most definitely, but not no lily-white Viking man!

Well, if ya think about it, the Chinese own our economy, Japan is our only Asian alley, and Muslims will try to blow us up. There hasn't been a viking invasion in a while. Our president chooses his pandering wisely LOL.

From the UK article: "A White House official said that it was not necessarily an award that Obama would have given himself."

BHO seems to be saying that if he were the awarding authority, he would not have bestowed the award on a person who has done nothing to deserve it.

I think BHO believes that the Noble Peace dudes are idiots - so do I.
