Liz Cheney: Obama Traveling to Oslo to Accept Nobel Prize Adds to 'Farce'
Liz Cheney said Sunday that President Barack Obama should send a message to the Nobel Committee at the Dec. 10 awards ceremony in Oslo, suggesting that he skip the ceremony and send the mother of a fallen soldier to show the importance of the war efforts.
"The notion that this White House says he will go to Oslo to accept this prize just adds to the farce," Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday." "But I do think he could send a real signal here. I think what he ought to do frankly is send a mother of a fallen American soldier to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military and frankly to send the message to remind the Nobel committee that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today."

Let's not leave Bush out of this. Send him a pair of bronze shoes.

this is the final nail in the coffin to invalidate this committee. after gore won it last year, i thought, could it get worse? yes it can! even arafat had moments when he was more respectful to israel than obama has been.
ALTACE
I absolutely LOVE Liz Cheney. She is so right on with every interview she does. Very intelligent lady. Wish she would run for office.
Touch Of Grey
I think Mr. Obama should go on a commercial flight without the secret service. We will then see how much peace he has brought to the world. This has nothing to do with what he has done for or country and we sure as Hell should not have to pay for it.

This just in!!! Obama wins the Heisman Trophy after watching a college football game!!!

Will the Obamas be taking separate jets again?

..and avoid the global spotlight? - whoa girl.... the Ego in Chief will smoke the crowd with his staccato of "me"s and "i"s as he pronounces the earth a better place because of his presence.... even if his moment in the sun costs us another $million for the trans-pond flights and digs... swagger and smile to delight the socialist brethren, BO...
Major Tom
Oh if only the Cheney's were running this country.... LOL... We'd be where we were 9 months ago...
J White
Which is one hell of a lot better than where we are today............

How about he stays here and we use the money to send more troops oversees instead. Support more troops Obama, quit wasting precious dollars on your stupid award. you did'nt deserve it. Help our troops they need more help.

Like we need to hear commentary on a peace prize from this woman: http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/37935.html
Bush and Obama are both statist warmongers, not peace advocates.
CommonSense4u2
i don't agree with her whatsoever and i find that idea tactless... but then again looking at her history in politics and her fathers does nothing prove the point that she is bitter about her family name being tarnished....
USMC Wolf
Not sure why she was on the panel but I liked her idea of Obama sending families of Veterans to accept the award on behalf of the POTUS. It would be a great gesture to the world of just where their peace comes from. He does not have the class to do that.

Obama’s Disarmament Prize

speakeasy
Do you think Obama makes decisions?
.
They need to send him out of the W.H. so they can keep the press out of the loop of who is really running the country.
CoolR
I think he needs to make a decision on sending more troops to Afganistan for the sake of the men and women in harm's way before he flies off to Oslo to accept his "award" for the sake of himself.

I think we need to send Kanye West.

I'm not sure a member of the Cheney clan should be considered a reputable source when the subject is "peace."
dos equis
Or war.5 deferments was wrong on every prediction he made during the run up to the invasion of Iraq.
The Lone Conspirator
0bama`s acceptance speech should be one of the final straws on the camel`s back. I can`t predict the day when this useless regime ends but it is falling apart.
observer
Just another excuse to jet set out of washington ,and NOT do his job , amazing how he doesn't have time to REALLY decide about important decisions but has plenty of time for speeches , photo ops , basketball , parties,TRAVEL all over the place . It reminds me of what MO said about dropping what she was doing and just rush right over there they both do alot of rushing around doing absolutely NOTHING , but trying win a populrity contest me me me me it's all about ME . When Mohammad Ali used to say " I am the greatest " he didn't have to LIE he definately was , I didn't like his politics but the man could box like no one else at the time, I beleive BO's favorite sport is liars poker he's just so good at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Major Dumbass, The next intelligent thing you have to say, will be the first intelligent thing you've ever said! By the way, what the hell is a "Oligarhy"?????

I think Liz Cheney should run for office and champion gay marriage. Ya'll realize she's gay right?
Hobbes .
SO WHAT!?
WHITE & PROUD
AND???
Jennifer
Wrong!
Her sister is gay, but she is married with 5 children.
Do your homework!
sprater
is'nt it pleasantly ironic that the most credible opponents of the liberals are women? cheney,palin and bachman are patriotic,fearless and very appealing to middle class americans and absolutely appauling to the left,who supposedly over the years, was the champion of women.
TxGold
We have to endure this 'farce' of a president til 2012! It's gonna take a while to clean up his mess. And we thought carter was bad?! obama is putting him in the shade when it comes to ineptness!!!
Major Tom
homophobic, pro-torture, right wing freak.

YOU FORGOT!...AND NOT SOCIALIST/MARXIST.
sprater
you mean straight, strong and patriotic, i agree
WHITE & PROUD
Why all the name calling, Tom?? Does a strong woman intimidate you? They usually do if you are a weak "man", and I am using that term very loosely. Isn't there a liberal web site you can go to and spew your hatred??
Major Tom
Why does her opinion matter? Because she is from a powerful family?... Oh "oligarhy's" are bad says Glenn...

There’s a saying; “behind every successful man there is a woman.” Since you’re a whining looser it’s obvious no one would have you.

APPARENTLY SHE MAKES YOU TIC, MAJOR TAMMY, THAT TELLS ME HER OPINION MATTERS TO KOOL-AID DRINKERS LIKE YOU!...TIC TAC TIC TAC, DO NOT BLOW A HEAD GASKET, WE NEED IDIOTS LIKE YOU TO COME MAKE OUR DAY HERE AT THE BLOG.
CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE
How can so many czars, the Cabinet and democratic strategists get it so
wrong in condoning the Messiah's trip to Oslo. Everyone must be drinking the same Kool Aid. What else are these people doing !! Talk about pure insanity !! All of these people should be sent to Gitmo for a psychological evaluation.
jscam87
What is the Problem? He has a free airplane. He gets a MILLION bucks, personally, for the award. Why not spend a couple million taxpayer dollars for a photo op? Then we can watch re-runs of Nancy Pelosi berating auto-execs for flying private jets for a meeting (while she is spending $600 million for her own jets the military did not request...
Ken123
You miss the point. BHO is now an official member of the World Socialist Party and you can say good bye to the Constitution of the United States of America and our individual rights. We are being transformed into a Communist country.
CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE
I will second your comment.
Ohio Gal
Love you Liz, keep up the good work!
CORRUPTION IN THE WHITE HOUSE
One mistake after another !!!! This award is about as valuable as a piece of used toilet paper. No, Obama goes to Oslo spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to collect an award he doesn't deserve while are troops are dying in Afghanistan and waiting for a decision to send additional troops. Does anyone, really anyone understand that this moron should not be elected for a 2nd term. Make your voice heard and vote every democrat and liberal democrat out of office in 2010.
moesite
Obama has no sense whatsoever.
If he had any class he would have declined this
ridiculous award. To say he's "humbled" doesnt cut it.
He cant resist the idea that he can forever hence call himself NOBEL LAUREATE .
bunnyma5
While the great Bozo dithers and dallies, goes to Copenhagen, now Oslo, our military keep dying...make up your mind...you are supposed to be the Commander in Chief...oh, I forgot...you only have experience as a community organizer...and you support Kevin Jennings who supports NAMBLA...pedophiles are us...!

This looks like a job for Cindy Sheehan...then they can see what a real lib is.
Nite Ranger
Yep, As always, Liz Cheney nails it! Winning this "Award" after 11 days in office, accomplishing ABSULUTELY NOTHING!! Just shows how meaningless this "Award" really is!!
