Presidential Honor

Le Duc Tho, a north Vietnamese negotiator, who worked with Kissinger to end the Vietnam war, is actually the only person to decline the Nobel peace prize in the 108 year history. According to nobelprize.org (which I think is a reliable source on this matter), Le Duc Tho rejected the prize because no peace agreement had been established yet in Vietnam. Kissinger, after accepting the prize, tried to decline it when he realized that he was the schmuck who accepted something he hadn't earned yet.

When I was a kid, I mowed lawns in my neighborhood to make my spending money. One time, a client gave my dad the money in advance since he would be out for the weekend. It was really hot that weekend, and I had only mowed the front before I was completely exhausted. I asked my dad for the money in advance to go see a movie, but he said that I couldn't have it until I finished the job. This was my earliest lesson about getting what you earn.

Contrast Le Duc Tho with Obama who hasn't accomplished anything yet, and you see the difference in personal honor. I truly hate it when people take credit for things they didn't earn. It's a spectacle of phoniness. It's like a lazy trust fund kid who thinks that he has earned the wealth that he's inheriting, or the squandering degenerate who thinks he deserves a slice of the trust fund in the name of 'social justice'.

Liberals have told me that regardless of what Obama does, conservatives will still be against him. I didn't agree with his economic policies before but I still considered him a man worthy of respect. After this debacle, he goes on to enforce why we minorities have such a bad rep for taking things that we haven't earned. It's dishonorable, and he should have followed the lead of Le Duc Tho.
