President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[dilloduck]

LOL. If the Conservatives were not flooding the airwaves and the net with indignity, wailing, and gnashing of teeth, it would not be that big of a thing. You fellow have made it an event. LOL

actually the norwegians did by making such a silly choice but who cares about another symbol of excellence being turned into trash, huh?

I think the timing is a little suspect.

He needed something to stop him from tanking in the polls and he's so lacking in self-confidence that he can't stand being laughed at.

So what better way to patch up his damaged image then to get a prize that should be reserved for someone that has accomplished great things.

Now there is some airtight logic.

Sorry, but one should ask the question 'Why now'.

When is this award normally awarded? Why did they choose to award it right after Obama fucked up in Denmark? What was the real purpose for this selection?

Why would they award a man who seems to live off of causing strife rather then bringing people together? A man who has divided this country even more then Bush.

His speeches seem to be geared toward offering peace to the world at the same time they cause us to fight among ourselves. I don't think a thing he's done has brought peace anywhere. There is no evidence of anything he's done has brought peace anywhere.

Ask the award committee: Thorbjoern Jagland, Sissel Roenbeck, Aagot Valle, Kaci Kullman Five, and Inger-Marie Ytterhorn.

Apparently there is a lot of that going around....in public schools now even the losers of competitions and sporting events get big trophys...so they retain their self esteem and don't go Columbine....it's almost like Obama's ratings were plummeting, healthcare is still questionable, the war in Afghanistan is going badly so they gave this award to him in the hope that it would boost his standing here in the U.S.A.

What I like is the latest distractor to get people's mind off of a failed war strategy and the 1 trillion dollar healthcare plan that will erase the budget deficit.....Gays in the Military is back in the news.

President Obama won the award. It surprised even him. But clearly, the Nobel Prize Committee thought that, at this incredible moment in history, that Obama offered a vision of peace that they shared and that they believed could prevail. Who are we, as Americans, to be anything other than proud as hell that this presitigeous award has been given to our president and that such high hopes have been placed on his leadership and his vision?

Old white racists will always hate Obama.

Even if he invented a free energy machine, they would say he was putting oil company employees out of work.

BINGO.....it's because he's BLACK.

Well he would be putting them out of business wouldn't he? But that has nothing to do with racism. But your first comment is very racist, Chris. You exposed a little about yourself that you might want to work on.

Not at all.

OReilly, Beck, Limbaugh, Joe Wilson,etc....

The pattern is obvious.

Just as most of the viewers of FoxNews are over 55 and white.....

I don't think Glenn Beck is an Old White Guy.

He's a fairly young fat white guy.

Still, your statement was akin to saying all Blacks love fried chicken and watermelon.

The award committee was selected by the Norwegian Parliament. A socialist Parliament picked the first socialist American President for the prize....

Fart away. You're doing the equivalent here.

Chris listen to what I have to say....Your full of shit. Can you comprehend what I'm saying. Your the one bringing up racism no one else is...just you.

Pointing out racism is not racist.

Nice try, though.

Seeing racism where none exists is racism.

In case you didn't know that is what message boards are for.

Nothing we discuss here will change anything.

I wonder if you even considered that fact.

Commenting on the award at that site is even less effective then commenting on it here.

How's that for a dose of reality.

I think we need to kick Norway's ass and boycott cod liver oil. Wait---put the UN in charge of deciding who gets awards !!!

I think it is a good possibility.

Infer what you want from that.

Protestations is an inaccurate word. There are very few among us that say that Obama deserved the award. I think what I've done is point out what is obvious to most of us who remain open-minded. The acutual motivations for the awarding of the prize at this moment are another issue. I seriously doubt Obama knew nothing or was totally taken by surprise by this.

Going from saying he may not have deserved the award to inferring he had an actual hand in it
is a mighty wide leap few have catapulted themselves.

That didn't stop you though from your acrobatic thrust.

No sirreeebob.

In other words according to you I'm not allowed to speculate the timing nor the motivations for the award.

Thanks for enlightening me.

I'll take it under advisement.

 

[mudwhistle]

This award has become a laughingstock even among many liberals.

And he piles on top of this joke of an award with his proclamations of false modesty and being totally taken by surprise.

It's laughable in the extreme.

 

[Immanuel]

people fail to acknowledge that the prize committee may have received Obama's nomination by 1 FEB 09, but they are, in no way, constrained from considering all his accomplishments after that date and before the date that they announced their decision.

Good to see you old friend, but I don't think that is fair to say in the least. The fact of the matter is as I see it, that he should not have been nominated for the prize nor considered for it after 12 days in office.

My guess is that you have not seen my other posts, but I truly believe he might have been worthy of such an award at least one year later, but not so soon.

Regardless, I continue to pray for his success.

I think the timing is a little suspect.

He needed something to stop him from tanking in the polls and he's so lacking in self-confidence that he can't stand being laughed at.

So what better way to patch up his damaged image then to get a prize that should be reserved for someone that has accomplished great things.

Well, I might agree with something like that if the nominations closed last week after his rankings in the polls had fallen, but at the time of the close of nominations he was the messiah of the Democratic Party. He was nominated long before the polls began to dip, so I don't see how you can claim that this was done because he needed to be boosted in the polls.
