Obama Fails to Win Nobel Economics Prize

Surprise! Surprise! In a decision as shocking as Friday's surprise peace prize win, President Obama failed to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences Monday.
While few observers think Obama has done anything for world peace in the nearly nine months he's been in office, the same clearly can't be said for economics.
The president has worked tirelessly since even before his inauguration to wrest control of the U.S. economy from failed free markets, and the evil CEOs who profit from them, and to turn it over to wise, fair and benevolent bureaucrats.
From his $787 billion stimulus package, to the cap and tax bill, to the seizures of General Motors and Chrysler, to the un-dead healthcare "reform" act, Obama has dominated the U.S., and therefore the global, economy as few figures have in recent years.
Yet the Nobel panel chose instead to award the prize to two obscure academics, -- Elinor Ostrom and Oliver Williamson -- one noted for her work on managing collective resources, and the other for his work on transaction costs.
Obama is a major disappointment. The President has sold America and Americans down the river. Frankly how anyone can believe in anything he proposes to be anything other than the continued marginalization of American Freedoms, Progress, and economic independence through misguided policies that reward the few at the expense of everyone else is beyond me. Obama works for the interests of the elite at the expense of the people. The only prize he deserves is Political Shill of the year--an award he may qualify for again and again.
