Obamania spreads to Nobel Prize committee

Barack Obama has today been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The official citation for the award says:
"The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen...co-operation between peoples ... Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama...given its people hope for a better future."
This is the same Barack Obama, one of whose first actions as president was to sign an order to abort the world's poor, putting
"hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into the hands of organizations that aggressively promote abortion as a population-control tool in the developing world"
according to the US National Right to Life Committee (NRLC). As Dr Stephen Karanja, the head of the Kenyan Catholic Doctors Association, said about the result of the US election:
“They have no business electing a person who is going to destroy our countries. And that is what they have done. This is something that a lot of people don’t realise, that what these Americans do affects innocent people thousands and thousands of miles away.”
The late Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta, a far worthier recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, said in her acceptance speech:
"[T]he greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion...Because if a mother can kill her own child - what is left for me to kill you and you kill me - there is nothing between."
I am sorely tempted to believe that if she was alive today, Mother Teresa would return her Nobel Prize at today's award to Barack Obama, 'The Abortion President'.
