President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Immanuel]

My thoughts, exactly. Probably more that the world is kicking Georgie in the face by doing this...it does tend to put to rest the right's notion that the world hates Obama, though.

That is probably the first legitimate reason I have seen for him being awarded the prize this year.

THE WORLD ? Cmon Immie--you can't believe the Nobel prize committee is anyway representative of the will of the world.

No, I don't but neither does Ravi. She used the phrase, "the world" as a representation of the Peace Prize Committee. Her use of "the world" was easily translated by me as meaning those who decided who would receive the prize.

Hell---give it to Miss America contestants. They all hope for world peace too.

He was nominated back in February .Days after taking office
All he had done , has done ,and will do is talk and fuck up Americas economy and freedom.

The economy was well fucked before he came to power, as for freedom, in what ways? What has he introduced in way of legislation that has curtailed your freedoms?

He hasnt been able to pass any bills yet.

Conservative reaction to all things Obama: de-legitimize it as quickly as possible!

Presidency? Call for a birth certificate!

Health care reform? Call it "Socialism" and offer no viable alternatives.

Nobel Prize? Call it a sham and scream about more "Socialist" cabals!

Like a rabid dog, the Conservatives would rather piss on their beds than take a moment of retrospective thinking to determine why their failures are never rewarded.

It's interesting that most European countries, even Canada, having gone through their Liberal experiments realize that you really do run out of other peoples money eventually, and are going back to supporting their Conservative parties.

Yeah, but even the most conservative European political party is still considered Liberal by US standards....(except the Brit Conservatives under Maggie Thatcher, who made Raygun look like a socialist poster boy)....

In all seriousness though, who are the conservative govts in Europe, and which countries have run out of money? Other than Iceland??

With the privatization of the banking sector, completed in 2000, Iceland’s banks used substantial wholesale funding to finance their entry into the local mortgage market and acquire foreign financial firms, mainly in Britain and Scandinavia…In just five years, the banks went from being almost entirely domestic lenders to becoming major international financial intermediaries. In 2000, says Richard Portes, a professor of economics at London Business School, two-thirds of their financing came from domestic sources and one-third from abroad. More recently—until the crisis hit—that ratio was reversed. But as wholesale funding markets seized up, Iceland’s banks started to collapse under a mountain of foreign debt.

Isn't privatization just wonderful? Shouldn't we do that with all government functions?

It's funny when someone who know absolutely fuck all about economics decides to write a post about it. I'm so glad I'm not you.

Sanity, maybe?

I think its safe to say it was de-legitimized a long time ago. When asshats like Yasser Arafat and Kofi Annan won it.

[Mr.Fitnah]

Comment: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prizeThe award of this year’s Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

I suspect that all three Nobel prizes awarded to Jimmy Carter, Al Gore and Pres. Obama were as a direct rebuke to Boy George and the Republicans. Kind of "here is your reward for not being 'dangerous and ignorant' them".

Republicans insist that the US is groveling when it apoligizes for leveling a country that never attacked us and putting in place an Iranian style government who put women in bags and kills off its Christian population and makes Islam the "national religion" and by constitution, says all legislation is based on Islam (see Article 2 and 3). A country that let Bin Laden get an 7 year "head start" which led to attacks in Europe and all over the rest of the world.

I don't see how the Democrats can be too proud over this, except "they are NOT Republicans". At the same time Republicans should be holding their heads in shame for what they did to the country and the world. Their policies cost tens of thousands of lives and nearly brought the entire world to the brink of economic collapse. Will they feel shame? Never. The have God on their side. Ask them. They can no more admit a mistake than Boy George.
