[rubberhead]

Congratulations President Barack Obama

huh? Did he do something ?

He walked and chewed gum at the same time.

He also picked out a dog!

That's nothing compared to that time when he said some stuff!

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

Well, we pretty much knew the Peace Prize was garbage when Hitler received it.

At least the other Nobel Prizes actually mean something.

What year was that?

You mean when he read what he said from the teleprompter.

 

[mudwhistle]

None of which has been changed under Obama.

Obama needs to bring them home, if he's not then he needs to fix that. However, the whole reason we are still in these two countries is the mismanagement of both wars by the prior Administration.

The reason Obama was elected is because he used false pretenses and made false promises that he would get us out knowing full well he wouldn't nor couldn't.

On the second thought, was it really premature or they knew exactly what they were doing?

Europe in Obama recognized the guy who is willing to play by their rules, in other words, he's weak enough to bend over and suck it up to them. Twelve days in the office was enough time for them to realize that two-faced Obama is their guy.

Whoever see what the world is really like with a guy like Obama in the white house, will also understand why Bush was the way he was.

I dont know why people think he was nominated after he took office, He was probably nominated back in Nov if not before . It was clear he was going to weaken America as much as possible, suck up to muslims and hate the right people.

And, worst of all, become a successful President that the American people admire.

Oh yeah, we admire him, along with Yasser Arafat another Noble peace prize winner.

Successful President?????????????? How so? Unemployment will shortly be above 10%, when he promised it would not go above 8% if the no stimulus stimulus bill was signed before anyone had a chance to read it. Remember, I will sign no bills with earmarks, he signed the 450 billion omnibus bill with 9,000 earmarks. Remember, no lobbyists in my term, yeah sureeeee!!!!! Remember, my administration will be the most transperent ever statement, yet they signed the no stimulus stimulus bill before they read it and then found out a week later that Chris Dodd had wrote in bonuses for the failed AIG exects and feigned outrage over this. Now they are attempting to pass legislation on health care 6% of our economy which will effect each and every one of us and they do not want to post it on the internet for all to see. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL REAL TRANSPERENCY.

He's a ONE TERM President as he has already given any opponents enough amunition to toast him in his re-election bid.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yeah, everyone pretty much agrees that Obama didn't deserve the Peace Prize, including Obama.

The only difference is how rabid one side or other becomes because the world apparently really likes Obama.

So much for the rightwingnut argument that he's pissed off all our allies and the international community...

And this farce changes that popular opinion?

Someone in one of the earlier threads has mentioned that President Obama's Senate record was a good reason for his being awarded the Noble Prize, rather than perhaps the 12 or so days he was in office prior to his nomination.

Just thought you might like to see President Obama's Senate Record;

Barack Obama missed 314 (24%) of 1300 votes since Jan 6, 2005. The graph to the left shows the number of missed votes over time.

Barack Obama has sponsored 121 bills since Jan 24, 2005 of which 115 haven't made it out of committee and 3 were successfully enacted. Obama has co-sponsored 506 bills during the same time period. (The count of enacted bills considers only bills actually sponsored by Obama and companion bills identified by CRS that were themselves enacted, but not if they were incorporated into other bills, as that information is not readily available.)

Hardly a congressional record one would call worthy of Nobel prize, especially considering the fact he spent most of the last year of his term as a Senator running for president rather than actually being a Senator. So perhaps this Nobel prize has less to do with President Obama and more to do with being happy that George Bush is no longer president?

 

[Qball]

Besides the obligatory acts of bipartisanship, Obama's time as a Senator consisted of him essentially not legislating on anything so he could run for President as a post-partisan outsider.

 

[mudwhistle]

If everyone agrees he didn't deserve this, I wouldn't be surprised to see global opinion of him decline a few points as a result of it.

Despite the fact that I don't think he deserved the award, my opinion of him definitely did not go down over this (and no, that is not because it is at rock bottom which it is not) because I don't think he had a say in his selection. Maybe, just maybe, his PR team had a hand in getting him the nomination, but that is a far cry from getting him the award.

This was a poor choice by the committee. My opinion of the award has dropped, but not my opinion of the President.

Immie

It shouldn't change your opinion about him.

It shouldn't make you think he's even more wonderful or less wonderful.

However, I wonder if your opinion of him would change if he's lying about not knowing this was coming.

Just saying......

 

[Mr.Fitnah]

I dont know why people think he was nominated after he took office, He was probably nominated back in Nov if not before . It was clear he was going to weaken America as much as possible, suck up to muslims and hate the right people.

So then I guess there must have been a bunch of terrorist attacks since Obama took office then?

Hmmm, guess not...

I guess he must be letting terrorists slip through his fingers?

Nope, looks like he's on top of that too.

Perhaps some rogue nation has invaded someone else? Has Iraq gone to pieces? Perhaps he's lessened our troop presence in Afghanistan?

No, looks like that didn't happen either.

Did he lessen security on ports? I haven't seen any evidence of that.

So, tell us, what evidence do you have that Obama has "weakened" America in any way?

Please, be specific.

Obamas has weaken or position in the the world and is proving the USA to be a toothless enemy and a treacherous friend and an unreliable investment.

That is going to involve some elements of border security because we’ve got to make our borders more secure. We can’t just have hundreds of thousands of people coming into the country without knowing who they are.

It would be rude to continue and put further evidence at this time

These were some of the very many reasons that I did not vote for him. I got his voting record during the primaries and was tempted to double check it because it sucked so bad. The problem that I had in the early days was that the pretty words were not backed up by a voting record of any substance. Now, I am relieved that I didn't vote for him.

No he didn't, Teddy gave them Bo the dog.

Barry said they would rescue one from a shelter. . .

By the way, in the amount of time obama has been in office, he has kept us safer than Bush did during that same amount of time.

Obama kept us safer from terrorists longer than bush did. lol

 

[mudwhistle]

I agree we should leave Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm simply telling you that Bush started two wars, Obama has not started any wars. Besides, Obama's aggressive rhetoric towards Iran?

You might want to talk to some of your breathen about that, they seem to think the complete opposite. Also, I haven't seen him do much about Afghanistan yet. We can't win in Afghanistan. Just like we can't win in Iraq. The faster we realize that, the faster we can leave.

that is ******* stupid and ignorant of the facts
Bush DIDN'T "start" 2 wars
that's a ******* LIE
the war in Iraq was already started and as for Afgahnistan, we were attacked FIRST
so stop with that bullshit already

Bullshit.

Bush started two wars.

One a war of neccessity: wiping out the Al Queda strongholds in Afghanistan.

The other a war of choice: Iraq. Iraq was not a threat to us.

Quit apologizing for his administration.

Iraq was a threat. Saddam wanted to be a proxy for every terrorist group in the world. He wanted to do what Iran is currently doing, provide weapons to our enemies and provide training. He wanted to provide facilities along with medical treatment after attacks. He also wanted to do what Iran is doing, build nukes.

I really wish some people would wake up. I suppose now that Obama is POTUS the threat is gone. Now the biggest threat according the mainstream media is H1N1.

I think people feel threatened by whatever the media focuses on. Spinach, tomatoes, Bird flue, whatever they feel we should fear at the moment. How does it feel to be manipulated?

All you have to do to find noobies on this board is look and see who is actually bothering to try using fact, logic and reason responding to chrissy and old rocks.

Perhaps you could do a forum "welcome wagon" for newbies that could include a hamper of 'posters who can't tell fact from fiction and make shit up'?
