Finding out that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize made some of us over here wonder: For what other awards should the president be nominated?  How about the Heisman Trophy, the Hollywood Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award, Bud Light’s Real Men of Genius Award, America’s Next Top Model, or the Humility In Action Award From Arianna Huffington? (Vote now on the RNC’s Facebook Page!)

Chairman Steele captured the sentiment of many when he said:

The real question Americans are asking is, ‘What has President Obama actually accomplished?’ It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain – President Obama won’t be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.

The DNC  then put out a statement saying, “The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize.”

Our Press Secretary Gail Gitcho called them out on this absurd and insulting defense:

Like most Americans, the DNC can't think of one achievement that the president has accomplished, so they resort to their predictable response and standard playbook of demonizing those who disagree with them. First they call Americans concerned over health care 'rabid extremists' and 'angry mobs.' Now, when challenged to answer the question of what the president has accomplished, Democrats are lashing out calling Republicans terrorists. That type of political rhetoric is shameful.
