President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[concept]

Yeah.......He was given what boils down to a high-dollar participant trophy.

The unsuccessful are always jealous of the successful.

Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize and he deserved it.

He has completely changed the world political climate.

I'd say nobody could be this incomprehensibly stupid and blindly sycophantic, but now know better since encountering you.

The vote to give Boyking this million dollar sop came less than two weeks into his adminstration...Barely enough time for him to change his socks, let alone the entire world's political climate....Fool.

This Chris guy reminds me of Flakey Foont. Remember that guy?

A koolaid swilling lib extraordinaire. Nothing could faze him.

 

[oreo]

Congrats to him, that is indeed a great honor.

Seems awful premature to me though, I guess they like America taking blame for everything.

It's kind of like being awarded the Heisman trophy before you've ever played a game--:


Let's face it though--this Nobel Peace Prize is nothing more than political manuvering.
PRESIDENT OBAMA--if he were smart--should have turned down this award.

Because now--he has put himself between a rock & a hard spot regarding more troops to Afganistan as his generals are requesting. If he doesn't send them--he will be taken down & ridiculed for not sending them because he accepted the Nobel Piece Prize.

If he didn't accept it--no one could use that against him should he send or not send more troops to Afganistan.

 

[mudwhistle]

The latest...Obama "curbed the spread of nuclear weapons"

Only in the United States.

He also is all for peaceful nuclear energy in Iran....but not in the U.S.

Funny how these libs rational tends to backfire on them.

He got the award for hope and change.

First time they've given the award for an image, false though it may be.

They hope his intentions become a reality.

Course that reality is you and me being under the UN's thumb.

Bush almost destroyed America.

Yes, and in nine months, Obama has done nothing to change that. All he has done is change the way the world views our President, not our country. Instead of a sniveling idiot going balls out in a war on terror, we have a lapdog begging for people to be nice. Neither strategy works. One promotes terror, the other doesn't do enough to discourage it.

Obama's biggest achievement in office is that he is NOT Bush. McCain and Hillary had that attribute, too, but they would have actually been proactive in change.

I also find it ironic that he is given a peace prize, yet he can't even create peace within his own party, much less his own nation. Continue to laud him with your praises, sheep. It will be that much more joyful when the world finally sees him for what he is: a man of too many words and too few actions. When he hits rock bottom (which won't take long, he's already on a crash course to get there), he'll have his fanboys like you to soften his blow. But that means you get crushed all the more. You deserve it for being that ******* stupid.

He changed the world's political climate the moment he took office.

Thank God!

Bush almost destroyed America.

I enjoy you insults by the way. They show that you have no facts.

Reading from a TelePrompter hasn't changed the rest of the world's attitude...he's just made us look like suckers. Reading speeches that someone else wrote for him is not going to change the world. The world is getting wise to this phony baloney ignoramus. The IOC told us as much. They couldn't be persuaded by a disingenuous egomaniac with narcissistic tendencies.

If Obama is surprised by this then I'm David Letterman. ABC is reported to have found out about this first. And his daughter the story goes told him about it along with announcing to him their dog's birthday. My how cute. I suspect this to be a phony attempt at making him look like a good father. Like his life is in some way normal.

So Obama's White House had such bad intel that a news network found out about this before he did.....and we're supposed to believe this crap? I would believe it if it wasn't for his constant need for attention and the simple fact that he felt he needed something to pull him back up from the disgrace and humiliation he received from his Olympics debacle.

Also I think it's funny how you think Bush almost destroyed America and you fail to realize that Obama and his handlers are presently going about accomplishing that very goal.

OSLO -- President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president.



In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize - washingtonpost.com

as if they have ANY credibility left now

He was not Bush.

I think this award was more of a finger to the previous administration and a "thank you" to America for superficially changing course than it was an actual peace prize.

Not the right way to use the award, in my opinion.

I'd say this is political compensation for the failed Olympic bid. Of course, none of us will ever know because this is the most opaque white house since Nixon!

And Look how he's Brought Unity to America!...

I Wonder if the Peaceful Nature of Chicago was Taken into Account?...

This Organization was a Joke a LONG time ago.



peace...

To some peace only means the lack of conflict.

To them peace and freedom don't go hand in hand.

naw, it doesnt have anything to do with the Olympic bid

 

[mudwhistle]

You have no idea how Liberals in Washington operate.

Just like in Vietnam, Somalia, everywhere we have had to withdraw in defeat.

They put our troops in harms way....leave their shit out there to dry.....refusing them the right to properly defend themselves because their ROEs are too restrictive and their numbers are insuffcient to do the job....and then a shitload get killed and we have to withdraw. It's a setup.

Obama has no intention in winning. He just wants to be able to withdraw without it looking like he's at fault. He wants the uproar to withdraw to rise to a high enough level to justify it. That's why it's taking so long for him to make a decision all the while he's trying to push through Universal Health Care without letting us get a chance to read the bill.


This has nothing to do with his appeasment tour. Pissing off our allies while sucking up to every tinhorn dictator in creation.

America has always sucked up to dictators. As have most countries. Noriega was yours before he wasn't, and the House of Saud still is. There is still that famous pic of Rumsfeld shaking hands with Sadman during the Raygun years.

That aside, with regard to ROEs etc, maybe not going in in the first place was the better option? But I was saying that back in 9-12 when anybody with half a brain knew Iraq was gonna take the hit for that shit....

Not going in is an option but not a wise one since we were already engaged and had been constistently since Desert Storm.

Funny how you would mention Noriega. Obama's White House legal council defended him during his trial. Obama's Attorney General worked out a deal to pardon a bunch of terrorists while working for Clinton. He also worked out a deal to snatch Elian Gonzalas from his relatives in Miami and give him back to Castro. So the apple doesn't fall very far from the tree where Obama and his corrupt cronies are concerned.

Here's another option: Bring all of our soldiers from abroad back to the US except maybe embassy security. Not just war fighters but All of those that are "protecting" our "allies." Just bring 'em all back here. Of course, let the countries where they are know what we're doing, so that they can adjust their infrastructure accordingly. After their back here, we can dedicate them to defending our borders. Then, if Europe or East Asia or South America wants protection, they can use their own military or hire mercenaries. Why the **** are we responsible for the security of the whole world at our own expense? Does that make any sense? Of course, not much of anything really makes sense anymore...

 

[mudwhistle]

That's a bogus argument.

America has always had common interests with authoritarian government that they befriend.

In Obama's case he hooks up with the very people that have the biggest axe to grind with us. He sides with them rather then defending our interests. He actually thinks America needs to be knocked down a notch or two. Doing this is a dangerous game. The fact that it's causing us to lose respect around the world and it's causing the value of the dollar to tank which will result in economic disaster in the long run. He's playing into our enemy's hands.

So you think the people on the outside looking in see the 'common interests' angle as a legitimate one?

You really have no idea how much respect the world lost for the US under Bush do you? It'll take ALL of Obama's term to get most of it back.

As long as Obama keeps talking smack about this country we will never improve our image. How are we supposed to look good when he keeps reminding everyone how fucked up we are. And when it comes to Bush...our press and his political opponents are mostly responsible for that. It's impossible for a politician to look good when the press repeats every falsehood and exaggeration they make.

Who has he hooked up with? How is he not defending your interests?

Our interests are a strong dollar and a strong military....both of which he has weakened since becoming POTUS.

The value of the dollar going down will mean you pay off your debt quicker and maybe even increase export-related jobs.

You need to take some classes on economics. A weak dollar only helps when it comes to foreign investors and selling of our products overseas. Buying American products is more of a bargain. However when you're constantly borrowing from other countries you also have to pay interest and with the shrinking dollar also comes inflation and higher interest rates. As a result it takes more dollars to pay off the debt.

America, IMO, starting going downhill when Bush was elected. I even hoped McCain would be elected because
1) I foresaw all the neocons bitching about how the Bush meltdown was really caused by Obama (have I been wrong)
2) Four years was not enough time for a Dem to fix the problem, so at least McCain would put his finger in the dike but probably getting voted out in 2012. Still feel that way.

You've fallen for a media generated image that is as false as the one they are generating in support of Obama. What's good is bad and what's bad is good.

You can't recognize the difference because you're not allowed to see the truth.

 

[mudwhistle]

He was nominated back in February .Days after taking office
All he had done , has done ,and will do is talk and **** 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?

Funny how the economy was churning on all cylinders till Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid took control of congress. 2007 was the year of the housing collapse.....the year the Dems took control of congress. Tightening of lending practices by the federal government led to the collapse. Barney Frank, and Chris Dodd oversaw that debacle.

But of course everyone blamed it on Bush.....even though it's not his job.


Mayors and Governors are responsible for disaster relief in their cities and states.
They blamed Katrina on Bush....even though it's not his job ether.

And Bush was blamed for Obama's Olympic **** up too.

Anyone can see the pattern.....except Liberals.

 

[mudwhistle]

And a diplomatic approach to world crisis as opposed to shoot first and look for WMDs later may just help America lead the world rather than threaten it.

We tried diplomacy for about a decade with Saddam and nothing seemed to work.

Maybe you should go back and read about it rather then trying to oversimplify the situation.

C'mon guys! Let's just wait for the Ayatollah to "come out of his shell" and talk to us! It's garbage.

Iran is not going to negotiate until they have the bomb. Can you blame them? I'm not saying we should let them get the bomb, but let's look at it from their perspective. They don't have any power now because they are outside of the nuclear club and they can have a real place at the negotiating table if they get the bomb. Until then, as long as they feel they can safely do so, they will continue to develop their nuclear weapons capability.

By giving Obama the Nobel Prize Oslo is rewarding his ignorance to this fact. Of course if I'm wrong, then Obama will get a second term and a second Nobel Prize (and he'll actually deserve it this time) and all will be right with the world. I hope I'm wrong because otherwise Iran probably gets the bomb and the world becomes a lot less safe. On the other hand, I'd love to see the look on Obama's face when both Israel and Iran are reduced to ash-covered glass. Snyde ******* panderer. Enjoy your Nobel ***** Prize!

I don't know about Bush and Republicans but those of us who claim no party think it is ******* hysterical.

First time in my life that I've actually seen someone win an award for doing nothing. No wonder the latte liberals are happy - you guys make a doing nothing a way of life.
