barack obama gets the nobel prize for peace????? now, that is too provocative for the common sense... how can a killer of nations get the nobel prize for peace???? i think a special nobel prize for war and crimes should be awarded to him!!!!!
There are a hundred people that could receive the Nobel Price (Bono, Warren Buffet, Oprah, Brangelina...) and they have to give it to Obama, who hasn't done shit... Oh yeah, sending more troops to Afganistan.
(Reuters) Barack Obama has done it again. The president's starpower has made the United States the place most people want to visit and do business with, according to an annual survey that ranks nations like retail brands.
The Country Brand Index, compiled by brand consultancy FutureBrand, found the United States had unseated Australia, which held the top spot for the past three years. Australia came in third this year with Canada rising to second place.
He can keep the change... To receive this award he would had had to be nominated about only 2 weeks after his election, And thus receive an award for promises, he has not even made to pass. Yes he did get a place in history... along with Al gore, Carter and Yasar Arafat.
The Great Pretender is playing "president" for less than a month, and they vote to hand him this award. Oh, how delicious...the libs of the world thought they'd made a grand gesture, but alas...the news of this joke of an award that was undeserved blew up in The Great Pretender's face like an cake filled with TNT from a Warner Bros. cartoon. Instead of a media party, The Great Pretender stood there like a fool... embarrassed by the mistake that was made. THIRTY-SIX MONTHS and counting....oh yes.
Wrong winger? Do you mean Right Winger, You know me very well, do you?
I'm an indapendent Moderat voter (and atheist in case you've forgotten) I hate both you "non-judge mental" Democrats and Repbulicans you bafoon. As for my englsih, Sorry, it apeares that just by listening to you my IQ has drop. Stupidty spreads quickly when Obama fans boys are near as you have proven.
"I think one of the biggest mistakes we've made strategically after 9/11 was to fail to finish the job here, focus our attention here. We got distracted by Iraq."
Are you beginning to see the pattern of logic and good sense?
How about point to somthing he has actully done instead of somthing he has said.
Why are all your arguments just parrenting everything he saids? earlier you assumed I was a Christian and yet like them you parrent the word of your Massia as that all that matters.
Since he becamse President 50 new base's have been built in iraq. I dont think he is planing on leaving.
obama would not have won if he were white. the fact that just because he's black shouldn't mean it is amazing he's become the president and doesn't mean he should win peace awards.
the nobel peace prize means nothing anymore. alfred nobel is rolling in his grave
Obama may win Nobel twice: our view is not like in U.S. He inherited two wars from Bush Inc who ran up the largest debt in world history—Bush burned through the first surplus any U.S. president ever created in history, Clintons—and Bush ruined your economy and world respect for U.S.
Obama is mending/ending those wars, while restoring economy: it shows salient signs of recovery. The world is behind the US again. Listen to Obamas speech in Egypt. (English is second to my language, pardon)
Ok so this is what I think, I like the president and if I was 18 at the time of the elections, which I am now, I would have voted for him BUT this cought me by surprised, when I heard that the president won the FREAKING NOBEL PEACE PRIZE, I had to listen to the news more closely to see if they were kidding or not. The reason why I think that he does not deserve it is because nobody has gained world peace yet, and we are not even close, wars are still going on, no one has ended world hunger,
he certainly hasn't done it, so can someone explain me what is so special about him? why did he have to win one of the highest honor that a person could have ever received from the society we live in?? I do not get it, I do not want to sound rude and I know I am certainly going to get A LOT of negative comments but I think this is ridiculous!!!! I do not think he shouldn't had accepted it because he himself didn't really now why he was awarded the prize!!
It is amazing how they cut out the part where the international press booed when they heard the outcome. I better watch what i say. I suppose I could be charged with a hate crime.
Ah... Go Obama! All hale Obama and world peace, love and all that.
I can't believe this. Obama is as deserving of the nobel peace prize as I am and the last peace i was worried about wasn't peace at all it was a piece of ass.
Gee I wonder why Bush never won the peace prize? Perhaps with the civilian deaths from his collection of wars he should have won the 'piece' prize?!?!
Why are people are worshiping this man? What has he done to eran the award? He was nominated just 11 days after being becoming president? Good God, and people said the world followed Bush blindly. Stop giving this man a free pass because he's black or not Bush, he is still just as any white republican corrupt.
Just who ever said: "the world followed Bush blindly". Only the British PM Blair and The Aussie PM Howard followed him and they were both thrown out at the first opportunity the voters in those countries had an opportunity to do so. Who is worshiping Pres. Obama? We look to his hope and promise..
Frist of all Im an atheist, So why would I care about the bible or why dose that have anything to do with this? As for whos worshiping Obama, his fans and the midea. All these people from day one acted as if he was the new FDR before he even won. Since then he has been treated like a rock star instead of a world leader, Making promise and saying the word "hope" dose NOT bring peace. He needed to actully DO somthing.
No offenese man, but I never read such a load of bull. Doing nothing is a good act thats worth a NPP? Conpaired to people who have spent there whole lives working for it or actully really pushed for it. I can say pretty words that by definition mean peace as much as I like but that wont come unless I actully do somthing to to bring it.
It might be instructive to repeat what the granting committee said: They (the committee) lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama's calls for peace and cooperation, and praised his pledges to reduce the world stock of nuclear arms, ease U.S. conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthen its role in combating climate change. "Some say - 'Isn't it premature? Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now," "It is now that we respond - all of us."
He said he that it will happen and he will do it but wait till actully happens before you thank him. And just for the recored It might be instructive to look over what he has done since gaining office. Since he obama became Presedent he has incressed the amount of solider in Afaganastan and the use of drone attacks in iraq and on the border of Pakastan. Plus we are STILL AT WAR in both counterys. Seem to go against what he is saying and how is that peacefull?
"I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by ... weekend warriors in the [Bush] Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne."
"I think one of the biggest mistakes we've made strategically after 9/11 was to fail to finish the job here, focus our attention here. We got distracted by Iraq."
Are you beginning to see the pattern of logic and good sense?
Oh his words, yeah that is So unrealibal "Sarcaims"
Actions speaks louder then words. Bottom line is his action are not peacefull. If you want to live in your fantasy that Obama can do no wrong then go ahead and be a sheep but tust me right now you look really foolish.
"It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward, to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path."
If you have not heard Osama Bin Laden has been nominated the Nobel Peace Prize for 2010. It is rumored that Osama Bin Laden has agreed to cut his car bombing of innocent civilians by 50%.
This is what I call the messiah effect ...Even though I like Obama, I dont think he deserves the nobel peace prize as yet. May be he has inspired people and all that, but the change actually has not delivered yet and that is the hardest part.
Obama may win Nobel twice: our view is not like in U.S. He inherited two wars from Bush Inc who ran up the largest debt in world history—Bush spent the first surplus any U.S. president ever created in your history, Clintons—and Bush ruined your economy and world respect for U.S.

deedee2244...what colour is the sky in your world?....what war is Obama ending...US is still in Iraqwhich is a good thing and now this stupid prize ties his hands in Afghanistan..how can a so called man of peace send another 40,000 troops there to get the job done. if he does he loses what little credibility he has,if he doesn't then this becomes HIS Vietnam.Restoring the economy.10%unemployment ..the dollar falling,triilion dollar plus deficts.he is the black Jimmy Carter.a failure
Who cares about a damn prize.. You can't take it with you when you die.. What's important is our actions.. People say Obama hasn't done anything.. But he has achieved a lot, and don't forget about his community organizer days.. But this award was definitely premature and it seems politically motivated..
Go to Politico com and VOTE what you think of the three socialists in the five-man committee using the prize to boost "their man" in Washington in time for pushing through medical centralization. The poll is at the bottom of the page.
This thing is blowing up in the leftists' face FAST. They are trying to save their Messiah who was supposed to save them - now he is a laughing stock.
See how the nasty, right ('wrong')-wing Republicans are gnashing teeth against every institution society has ever held dear.They won't respect the Presidency ("you lie" Wilson), the Speaker of the House (needs to be "put in her place"), and now attack the Nobel committee for awarding the President the most coveted prize in the world. Seems they were ok when white men held these posts, now along comes one black ('biracial') man and they say the award isn't worth 'sh*t'. You racist bastards.
Again your "guy" gave us 1.3 trillion in debt when handed a surplus, 2-wars, no Bin-Laden, and a crumbling economy. Yea your right lets give an award of respect and peace to them????
Once you gain the qualifications to sit on the Nobel committee, or win an award yourself, I'll say once, and I'll say again, you don't have the standing to say whether he deserves it. The Nobel committee doesn't give these awards away. They're about peace and reconciliation. Apparently you are not.
So true zenbrenzz. I say the rest of us in sane America just move on. Keep an eye on them, because they're borderline psychotic, like a pack of dogs with rabies, but move on.
The point is Obama didn't put his life on the line to save people from genoicide. Obama didn't devote his life for the struggles of others. Obama is a book peddler who uses his ethnicity as a tool for enterprise.
Didn't put his life on the line (KKK wants to harm him/threats up 400% over previous presidents). Didn't help others in struggles( worked in Chicago's southside to help working class people get food, shelter, housing in some of the toughest neighborhoods anywhere), Used his race(actually didn't want to talk race, because he knew racists like you would focus on it to try and divide Americans during the campaign). Your logic and premise are all wrong danworthj.
Yeah look at Chicago now. He did a great job there as a community organizer collecting money for rezco. The fruits of his labor are the delapidated project houses and the violence that has gotten out of control. I agree with you on the kkk thing but you are a prick so it is pointless to try and engage in conversation with you tim23z.
The Peace Prize has meant nothing since 1994 when it was awarded to Yasser Arafat to reward his lifelong pursuit of Jew-killing. In times since, it has been awarded to Jimmy Carter and Al Gore for their lifelong pursuit of not being George W. Bush. Now, it's been awarded to Barack Hussein Obama for his lifelong pursuit of being Barack Hussein Obama.
Dear Mr, Obama, when you go and collect the Pize in the Kingdom of Norway, you MUST condemn the Primer Stoltenberg's enaction of the sperm law for lesbians, where the state pay the cost for sperm purchased from Internet, and those kids being the result, have by the very same law no legal right to obtain their roots from their father's side - this depravation of the human race must be stopped, NOW. Even Hitler did not concocted such a disgust against humanity, and innocent children
I was responding to your statement that the money award was worthless. I not agree with you.
Now I am not sure that this forum allows me to expound on the philosophical aspects of your concept, but bear with me.
Firstly, the Noble is not the property of America or Americans. It is a gift to the world from a dedicated bunch of Norwegians. They have experience, an admirable awareness and foresight. cont'd in next window
Next,if you truly feel hurt by the award, then you will have first hand experience of how Afro- Americans and other minorities feel when they observe European -Americans getting unearned privileges in business and social positions - except Obama deserved it as outlined somewhere below.
Obama's life did not begin with your knowledge of him nor are his accomplishments limited by your limitations or capabilities.
Most people in the world like the story of an accomplished American doing well with dignity and style and as you will see, in time he will, even in your eyes, come to satisfy your even your implied expectations of Barack.
Finally, You should observe that what he has been awarded, (by people who are not American or who do not even live in America, but who believe in the American dream), is a nod to all people who pursue an advanced education and are good at it and aspire to do good in their community. And the Nobel committee have demonstrated that in living color.
Maybe I am wrong and you are just as accomplishesd as Pres. Obama.
What a crock of shit this organization has turned into. How can NObama be elected to receive Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) when his supporters state he has not been in office long enough to accomplish ANYTHING, so we should not criticize him. Yet on the NPP committee feels he has been in office long enough to be awarded what I once thought was a great award. The award has been cheapened by their politically incorrect selection.
Obama has done nothing but talk and talk. America is still in the same mess as it was before. Now De Klerk and Mandela they accomplished ending apartheid and laying foundations for a democratic S.Africa. Worthy. The Dalai Lama is worthy. Putting this JACKASS in the same company as these people is a joke. What about Ghandi who never won the prize? Obama won because he is the first black president and he makes talks good. SHAMEFUL!!
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.): "President Obama is working to restore American leadership worldwide and build bonds of friendship across the globe. The Nobel Peace Prize is a testament to his leadership and vision and a tribute to American values. I offer my congratulations to President Obama on this outstanding achievement."
He' s been traveling all around the world re-making friends with everyone again you idiots. Other countries are starting to like us again and like the direction we're going in. If you can't see that you're probably a racist or ultra religeous or dumb. I'm white too.
Congrats BO. To the naysayers, nominations for the nobel are closed 8 months ahead of the award ceremony, so more reason to bawl. Per the Nobel Award website, the award is for "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses" all points that BO has achieved and is now BOUND TO achieve while in office. Sure others deserve it just as much, but hey....
Two more observations - As a representative of the US, this is positive vote to Americans for ushering in change at a time when the world needed a symbol of hope and also, the rest of the world (esp in Europe and Latin America) actually see Obama as a World Leader and almost as "their" president as well. Case in point 200K pp coming out to see him in Berlin. Nooo.... I completely second the Nobel prize award. Kudos BO!!!
more people came to the October rrally against socialized medicine than came to see Obama in Berlin..who cares what the rest of the world thinks of the US,,we all know that they hate the US but will come hat in hand the next time disaster strikes them
The Nobel committee lost all credibility when they flatly said that Pope John Paul II would never win the prize because he upheld the Catholic Church's moral teachings. Few people did more to bring down Communism in most of the world, where it was responsible for the murder of tens of millions. The peace prize is political nonsense.
Fuck Pope John Paul II. Are you saying that the leader of the only organization MORE CORRUPT than either the Roman Mafia or politics should have got it? For what? For taking part in the Catholic church's covering up fifty years of priests molesting children? There is a special place in hell for that man, right next to Jerry Falwell.
Stupid sooooooooo stupid, Obama hasn't done anything to change the world. Wasn't the nomination before he was elected and now he wins it. I am just disappointed in the Nobel Peace Prize committee.
No, the nominations were submitted on February 1st. And from then until yesterday, the committee considers the nominees. Granted, this is unprecedented but it says something to the rest of the international world. George Bush made the United States the most despised nation in the world. If you know anything about global success, you know that we can't go it alone. This award given to Obama is a signal to the rest of the international community to once again stand behind us.
This prize means nothing now. It's been given to someone who has done nothing except go on television every five minutes to talk about what he wanats to do. Period. Ronald Reagan brought down the Berlin wall without a single shot. Did he win this prize? No.
How's that "Hope and Change" workin' for ya ?
>Guantanomo still open.
>Billions, no, Trillions to the fat cat Bankers and Credit Card Companies he "hates" so much.
>Praise for his pals in Iran, possibly our worst enemy, but chastizes Israel one of our closest allies.

This is what I call the messiah effect ...Even though I like Obama, I dont think he deserves the nobel peace prize as yet. May be he has inspired people and all that, but the change actually has not delivered yet and that is the hardest part.

Obama may win Nobel twice: our view is not like in U.S. He inherited two wars from Bush Inc who ran up the largest debt in world history—Bush spent the first surplus any U.S. president ever created in your history, Clintons—and Bush ruined your economy and world respect for U.S.
Obama is mending/ending those wars, while restoring economy: it shows salient signs of recovery. The world is behind the US again. Listen to Obamas speech in Egypt. --English is second to my language, pardon.

Lobbying to keep America in the healthcare dark ages and to keep their profits up..which have increased over 400% last few yrs
Lobbying to keep letting thousands of Americans die each year due to being unable to access hc.

Once you gain the qualifications to sit on the Nobel committee, or win an award yourself, I'll say once, and I'll say again, you don't have the standing to say whether he deserves it. The Nobel committee doesn't give these awards away. They're about peace and reconciliation. Apparently you are not.

The point is Obama didn't put his life on the line to save people from genoicide. Obama didn't devote his life for the struggles of others. Obama is a book peddler who uses his ethnicity as a tool for enterprise.
danworthj 2 years ago
Didn't put his life on the line (KKK wants to harm him/threats up 400% over previous presidents). Didn't help others in struggles( worked in Chicago's southside to help working class people get food, shelter, housing in some of the toughest neighborhoods anywhere), Used his race(actually didn't want to talk race, because he knew racists like you would focus on it to try and divide Americans during the campaign). Your logic and premise are all wrong danworthj.
tim23z 2 years ago
Yeah look at Chicago now. He did a great job there as a community organizer collecting money for rezco.

The Peace Prize has meant nothing since 1994 when it was awarded to Yasser Arafat to reward his lifelong pursuit of Jew-killing. In times since, it has been awarded to Jimmy Carter and Al Gore for their lifelong pursuit of not being George W. Bush. Now, it's been awarded to Barack Hussein Obama for his lifelong pursuit of being Barack Hussein Obama.

No I do not understand people like you as a matter of fact.

Obviously it must because Obama has done nothing of substance to deserve the NPP, nothing.

I was responding to your statement that the money award was worthless. I not agree with you.
Now I am not sure that this forum allows me to expound on the philosophical aspects of your concept, but bear with me.
Firstly, the Noble is not the property of America or Americans. It is a gift to the world from a dedicated bunch of Norwegians. They have experience, an admirable awareness and foresight. cont'd in next window

Next,if you truly feel hurt by the award, then you will have first hand experience of how Afro- Americans and other minorities feel when they observe European -Americans getting unearned privileges in business and social positions - except Obama deserved it as outlined somewhere below.
99lookingsouth 2 years ago
Obama's life did not begin with your knowledge of him nor are his accomplishments limited by your limitations or capabilities.
Most people in the world like the story of an accomplished American doing well with dignity and style and as you will see, in time he will, even in your eyes, come to satisfy your even your implied expectations of Barack.
99lookingsouth 2 years ago
Finally, You should observe that what he has been awarded, (by people who are not American or who do not even live in America, but who believe in the American dream), is a nod to all people who pursue an advanced education and are good at it and aspire to do good in their community. And the Nobel committee have demonstrated that in living color.
Maybe I am wrong and you are just as accomplishesd as Pres. Obama.
99lookingsouth 2 years ago
99lookingsouth,
You can go on and on with your philosophy of the award but the bottom line is, he has not done jack shit yet.
He does not deserve it because he has not accomplished anything of substance.
I think they should give the Super Bowl to the Buffalo Bills at the start of the season because it looks like they have potential.
The Stanley Cup should be given to the Toronto Maple Leafs at the start of the season too because they have some potential.
What do you think?
Enough said.
manwello15 2 years ago
What a crock of shit this organization has turned into. How can NObama be elected to receive Nobel Peace Prize (NPP) when his supporters state he has not been in office long enough to accomplish ANYTHING, so we should not criticize him. Yet on the NPP committee feels he has been in office long enough to be awarded what I once thought was a great award. The award has been cheapened by their politically incorrect selection.

Now De Klerk and Mandela they accomplished ending apartheid and laying foundations for a democratic S.Africa. Worthy. The Dalai Lama is worthy. Putting this JACKASS in the same company as these people is a joke. What about Ghandi who never won the prize? Obama won because he is the first black president and he makes talks good. SHAMEFUL!!

Congrats BO. To the naysayers, nominations for the nobel are closed 8 months ahead of the award ceremony, so more reason to bawl. Per the Nobel Award website, the award is for "the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses" all points that BO has achieved and is now BOUND TO achieve while in office. Sure others deserve it just as much, but hey....
surambaya 2 years ago
Can you add, I mean really?
His nomination was entered 2 weeks prior to nominations closing. So your argument is actually a retarded one to be used AGAINST Obama being nominated.
1- he has not lowered standing armies. in fact there has been little or no change at all.
2- There is no president that isn't looking for peace. Doing nothing doesnt promote peace, FDR learned that lesson the hard way as have many others.
There is no award for those "who are BOUND to achieve" only those that have!

Two more observations - As a representative of the US, this is positive vote to Americans for ushering in change at a time when the world needed a symbol of hope and also, the rest of the world (esp in Europe and Latin America) actually see Obama as a World Leader and almost as "their" president as well. Case in point 200K pp coming out to see him in Berlin. Nooo.... I completely second the Nobel prize award. Kudos BO!!!

The Nobel committee lost all credibility when they flatly said that Pope John Paul II would never win the prize because he upheld the Catholic Church's moral teachings. Few people did more to bring down Communism in most of the world, where it was responsible for the murder of tens of millions. The peace prize is political nonsense.

Fuck Pope John Paul II. Are you saying that the leader of the only organization MORE CORRUPT than either the Roman Mafia or politics should have got it? For what?

No, the nominations were submitted on February 1st. And from then until yesterday, the committee considers the nominees. Granted, this is unprecedented but it says something to the rest of the international world. George Bush made the United States the most despised nation in the world. If you know anything about global success, you know that we can't go it alone. This award given to Obama is a signal to the rest of the international community to once again stand behind us.
