President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Ame®icano]

Considering Bush started the two wars we're now embroiled in...the Nobel Peace Prize might not be appropriate.

Other than that - I don't think ANY of the recipients "asked" for it.

Are you saying Obama actually won Nobel Prize that was being dubbed the anti-Bush award - for the poufters in Sweden have again used it for their own political directives aimed at the USA. Considering that previous winners were: Gore, Carter, Amin...

Nope.

Sounds like you're saying that "leftwingers" who win the award are undeserving. Interesting that you feel it important to make partisan distinctions about award winners.

I havent replied earlier on this one, I had to check past winners.

I am not saying "leftwingers who win"... I am saying that "only leftwingers win". It's award for leftists given by the leftists, weather they deserve it or not.

Gore, Anan, Carter, Arafat... any of them deserve it? I doubt it.

I see many voices of reason here from both sides. Majority here agrees that Obama did not earn this one. At least not yet.

However, there are some so desperate for any Obama's victory that they will even take an empty one at this point.

Pathetic.

....and there are some so desperate for an Obama failure that they will do anything, whether it's ridicule a Peace Prize he did not ask for or cheer the fact that Chicago did not get the Olympics to proclaim a failure for Obama.

Pathetic, indeed.

Did you notice the story about the kid who was beaten to death in Chicago less than a week before the Olympics pitch? Maybe there are more important concerns in Chicago than bringing a bunch of international athletes there to be shot, stabbed and raped (in that order). If Obama wants to represent Chicago maybe he should address the problems that are going on there. But no, he'd rather trade on the political favor exchange. I think that kool-aid you're drinking has some lead in it.

Chicago has a lot of SERIOUS concerns - no one is denying that. But the majority of it's citizens wanted the Olympics as did the majority of Americans.

NYC has many serious concerns, including violence yet I heard nobody cheering the fact that they did not get the nomination last time nor is anyone stating that they have other problems to be addressed.

Quite telling.

No need to ridicule Nobel Peace Prize, because they ridicule themselves.

They were prestigious award back in time, not anymore.

Also, I never said that not getting Olympics is Obama failure, although I was satisfied he and his ego didn't get it.

Arafat was a questionable choice, but then so was Begin but the rational for both of them, in partnership with others, in one moment of time - validates it (in my opinion).

Gore and Carter I disagree with you on (which I stated previously why). They are also both figures the right loves to hate.

Anan. I don't know.

You may not have said it, but the second part of your statement says a lot - in denying it to Obama, you denied something the majority of Americans (not just those who voted for Obama) wanted for their country - another U.S. Olympics. Who's ego is bigger?

 

[rubberhead]

the majority of it's citizens wanted the Olympics as did the majority of Americans.

Wrong on both counts:

Many Chicagoans hope city loses vote Friday - Olympic Sports- nbcsports.msnbc.com

43% View Obama’s Olympic Trip As Bad Idea, 36% Disagree - Rasmussen Reports™

Quite telling. Idiot.

P.S. when has the president of the US ever gone to pitch an Olympic bid before? Maybe that's why it hasn't been politicized before.

For all of Arafat's faults, I think his win was more justified, considering the context in which it occurred.

I'd disagree wholeheartedly.

Reasonable people can have differences of opinion.

There was nothing reasonable about Arafat getting the NPP. That's just baloney.

Anan. I don't know.

Fair enough. You have your oppinions and I respect that you stand for them.

Arafat did not signed any peace agreement with Israel. Then, how does he qualify for a Prize?

Anan was head of UN Secretary General for about 10 years. He did not achieve anything by himself, except personal gain for him and his son thru UN's "oil for food" program.

I disagree on Gore. All he did was for personal gain, only. Look where is Al Gore now, how much he's worth and how he acts. Anyways, we could have a discussion on "global warming vs. climate change" someplace else.

I disagree on Carter too. While president he created several crisis. He pledged to withdraw troops from Korea, and he didn't do it. Russians invaded Afghanistan on his watch, he was weak on making decisions. He's not the one who does deserve credit for peace agreement in between Israel and Egypt, Sadat is. Camp david was just result of Sadat will. Did he went to North Korea and later said that Kim Il Sung is intelligent and vigorous leader? C'mon.

I said I am glad Obama didn't get it for Chicago. If Chicago won on it's own, I would be more then happy to have Olympics there.

There is no question about who got bigger ego. Obama "own it".

Speaking of idiots , maybe you ought to read your own links?

A poll released this month by the Chicago Tribune showed residents almost evenly split, with 47 percent in favor of the bid and 45 percent against; that's a drop from the 2-1 support the newspaper found in a February poll.

The 2016 bid committee said its own poll last week shows support from 72 percent of Chicagoans. But even that segment has concerns.

A majority.




Quite telling indeed...

Wow! So the 2016 Olympic Bid Committee did its own polls and found that 72 percent wanted it? I'm sure that the Olympic Bid Committee isn't biased at all. Are you really that stupid? I guess you are if you think 47 percent is a majority. You lose. Just accept it.

There is no way to tell whether Chicago would have gotten it with or without Obama's pitch - you really can't seperate it out. As far as "big ego"....why is it a "big ego" for a U.S. President to attempt to make a pitch, but not for the heads of other countries to go in and make a pitch? Is it ego or is it simply trying to win something for your country?

I think the ego is in those cheering the loss because any loss is better than a victory for them, and their "victory", in the end - is pyrrhic.

47% is a majority over 45%.

Speaking of stupid, perhaps you are to take such faith in Rassmussen.

 

[Modbert]

I have to say, I've been laughing my ass off at the fact Obama won this. I've seen every Republican talking point repeated everywhere throughout the day.

What some clowns fail to realize is that this is more of a rejection of the Bush Administration than anything about what Obama has done.

Actually, no they did not. It was a poll conducted by Zogby: Poll shows Chicagoans, Americans want Games :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago 2016

Nope, wrong again dumbass.

majority - n - the greater part or number; the number larger than half the total (opposed to minority ): the majority of the population.

This (the 47/45 poll) was the Tribune's poll of Chicagoans btw, Rasmussen's poll was of Americans in general.

Yes, but Obama hasn't done much of anything different than Bush.
