PRESIDENT OBAMA TO BE AWARDED SECOND NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

imageSTOCKHOLM, Sweden (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – When President Barack Obama was announced as the recipient of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, the decision was met with much controversy.

Obama admitted that he was surprised by the choice. Conservatives were quick to express their outrage and even supporters of the president questioned whether the award was deserved.

Six years later, Geir Lundestad, long-time director of the Nobel Institute and secretary of the Nobel Peace Prize committee, has commented publicly on the decision. In “Secretary of Peace, 25 years With The Nobel Prize,” a new memoir released on Thursday, he said Obama’s award “failed to live up to the panel’s expectations.”

However, inside sources have confirmed to The Adobo Chronicles® that the Nobel Prize jury does not agree with Lundestad’s comment.  In fact, when the 2015 Nobel Prize winners are announced next month, Obama will be awarded a second Nobel Peace Prize.

The jury is of the opinion that contrary to Lundestad’s assessment, Obama has exceeded the panel’s expectations. “Since Obama’s first award, he has made peace with Iraq, Iran,  Afghanistan, Syria, Russia, China, North Korea and lately, Cuba.  Domestically, he has also made peace with Hilliary Clinton and the Republican Party. No other world leader has come close to this amazing accomplishment,” the jury said.

In the history of the Nobel Prize, only two have been awarded the Peace Prize more than once:  the International Committee of the Red Cross (3 times) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees  (2 times).

Upon hearing the news, Pope Francis, who is scheduled to visit the United States later this month, sent his congratulations and blessings.

But one person is not happy about Obama’s second Nobel Prize:  Donald Trump.

TEHRAN, Iran (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for President Obama to retract a statement he made Wednesday saying members of Congress who opposed the Iran nuke deal had something in common with Iranians who chanted “Death to America” in the streets of Tehran.

Obama made the comments in a speech at American University in Washington while going after critics of the deal, who he said were “selling a fantasy” to the American people. “In fact, it’s those hardliners who are most comfortable with the status quo,” Obama said. “It’s those hardliners chanting ‘Death to America’ who have been most opposed to the deal. They’re making common cause with the Republican caucus.”

But no Republican is more outraged than the Iranian hardliners themselves.

In the streets of Tehran, thousands of hardliners marched and chanted “Obama, retract your statement ” and “We are no Republicans!”

Leaders of the march said  it was the biggest insult to them and their cause to be compared to dumb, clueless and do-nothing Relublicans. “We’re better off than them,” they said.

A spokesperson for The White House said Obama was preparing a statement apologizing to the Iranians.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles ® ) – The mainstream media have a tendency to whitewash news events that happen in The White House. But not us.  We report the news exactly the way it happened.

When Obama was heckled during an LGBT event at The White House by a transgender Latina woman who admits being an undocumented immigrant, the news media quoted the president saying, “It’s my house …it’s disrespectful.’

This is what Obama actually said to the heckler, Jennicet Gutiérrez:

“‘Mi casa no es tu casa!”
