Barack Obama wins 2009 the Nobel Peace Prize

[eirikwegga]

Don't blame my country for this! We thought it was just as dumb as everyone else. Blame Jagland, the guy talking here.

This guy is a national clown who apparently felt he needed to become an international clown. He was prime minister for a year (against the wishes of the previous PM from the same party) and managed to become such a laughing stock that he had a breakdown. Many of us felt sorry for him and he gained a lot of sympathy, until this embarrassing Nobel debacle.

[vinegaroon1]

what a disgrace! these foreigners gave the 'peace prize' to a bloody-handed baby killer. they look like silly-ass fools, still today.

[RealmEternal]

Nobel Peace Prize has always been a joke.

[quasnik252]

Hah. Hans engelsk er så dårlig at det nermest er pinlig. Når jeg tenker over det, så snakker han vel strengt tatt ikke ordentlig norsk heller.

[Dagney77]

Google Barry Soetoro.

Your jaw will drop.

[PainlessTragedy]

NWO is coming, ..|.. fuck you B. Obama you antichrist bastard.

[gareof]

The lying, thug, sonofabitchfromKenya is riding the same "peace train" with yasser arafat - the muslims must be proud

[islandwarrior16]

i didnt know you can win a nobel prize for breaking the white president streak and replacing george bush

[doesobamaknow]

!!!!!!!!!

[sumala321]

Now you can clearly see how brainwashed some norwegians are, They can not think for themselves and they swallow what comes in the news raw.

[fusedblue]

i dont see how you can get a prize for something you haven't done yet.

[harryflocyberman]

Yasser Arafat murderer wins Nobel peace prize, I rest my case. worthless bias bullshit award in any country or society.

[thejuicemedia]

Hello? Obama has not made peace; he's only made war LOOK like peace. If you understand this, you might enjoy this:

[oporim]

I didn't know there are still so many true believers in the world, lmao

[RedhandJB]

Getting the Nobel-Prize for good intentions, absolutely sick. This President has done nothing but talk, but so many people just dont want to hear the truth and keep on hoping. He must been nominated for this shortly after he became President. There were a bunch of leaders in history who promised equal plans, but only a few of them realized their plans. I wouldnt mind giving it to him, after he can present some successes. But with this the Nobel-Prize downgraded itself.

[frio109]

The Nobel Peace Prize is a Joke. Last year Al Gore got one for making a propaganda movie, I am sure Bin Laden will get one next year.

[RandyRocketMetal]

Giving Al Gore the prize was a mistake.

[Muthsera80]

How so? Did it not put a greater focus on the Environmental problem? You might disagree with their stance. But to claim it was a mistake if they actually achieved their own goals. Then you can't very well claim its a mistake now can you? Just because you don't agree with their agenda doesn't mean it was a mistake.

[frio109]

RandyRocketMetal, You are correct. If the Nobel Peace Prize was not the JOKE that it is. The Award should have gone to Irena Sendler.

[MrSteamboatWillie]

@frio109 Not last year. Not propaganda. Open your eyes

[frio109]

@MrSteamboatWillie You are kidding right?

[Muthsera80]

For good intention?????? Wth.. Stop listening to the phundits. Read the reasons given by the committee for yourself. Get informed mate.

They can't give it to anyone for good intentions. They can't give it to anyone to push them in the right direction. They can only give it for accomplishment. And he has actually done a lot of meaningful policies and initiatives. Most notably the agreement with Russia on nukes. Just because you don't value the same things doesn't mean its within their agenda.

[803honda]

after only 10 days in office he expanded operations in pakistan and many unarmed civillians were murdered. that dosent sound very peaceful to me.

[Muthsera80]

Ok. Listen up. And listen closely. The nomination closed 11 days after his inauguration. But the Nobel committee doesn't nominate anyone. They can't be held responsible for who nominated him. Your mixing the two issues. What is important to note. Is that the Nobel committee isn't bound to only look at what has happened before that date.

But what you describe is whats problematic with nominating a head of state during a war. The committee has evaluated that and found the entire scope *cont*

[803honda]

so what youre sayin is he can murder all the folks he wants as long as he does it before the nomination date???

obama aint done shit for peace except say a few words he didnt mean. he hasent really done anything except expand american imperialism and civillian murders.

[Muthsera80]

I'm not going to make excuses for the US using cia drones on taliban and doing collateral damage. But peace is more to it than stopping murder. If you can't appreciate the difference I suggest you try being in a conflict sometime.

Your right that its Pax Americana, but I'm not sure if one can call it Imperialism. But your wrong in that Obama has done nothing to promote peace. Its spelled out clearly and solidly by the committee. You can chose not to agree. But thats irrelevant tbh.

[803honda]

The forced union has been heavily engauged in imperialism since 1861.

The comittie admitted they gave him this prize based not on what he has done, but what they hope he does in the future.

[Muthsera80]

Its not often I say this. Are you deluded? They can't do that. Its not allowed. They have to follow the will of Alfred Nobel. Its not like they can just chose who ever.

Secondly. what your talking about is what the Committee tries to do with its agenda each time it awards the price. Its to generate an impact of momentum. Its not always it works but many times it does. Most importantly it gives world focus. Now, they said the same thing now towards Obama. They want to help support his agenda.

[Muthsera80]

*cont* But thats different from what you claimed. And many with you at that. Its like tilting at windmills this. You want your own perspective and your understanding and you all don't give a damn about what other say and what the real intentions are.

Now, as far as forced union. It was a forced union from the moment they signed the declaration of independents. Represented by Frankling's fitting words: We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.

[803honda]

lol. whatever you say.

the declaration of independence had nothing to do with my country and it was signed almost 10 years before my country joined the once voluntary union. when my country joined the unoin we rattified the constution, not the decleration of independence.

[Muthsera80]

I take it to mean you consider Texas a country if you didn't mean Deseret. Although thats correct that it was that from 1936 until 1845. I would however rater see that as a proses to wrestle the territory from Mexico than to be a viable state. It was after all smack in the middle of two large dominate countries. Its doubtful it would survive long alone. Mexico was adamant on getting it back at the time.

But, the civil war decided the concept of succession of states. Its not possible.

[803honda]

USA is not a country. is its a group of 50 countries united at gunpoint.

[Muthsera80]

Actually. The United States of America is a sovereign country. It is a federation because its made up of smaller numerous provinces with large self autonomy. Doesn't change that it is a country by itself. Now, you could argue that that wasn't the intention of many of the men who signed the declaration of independence and later on the constitution. But today it is one country. To claim anything else is a fallacy. Mainly you see that by it having 1 Army, 1 Navy and 1 foreign policy.

[803honda]

so I guess the european union is a country too??? all those countries are now provinces???

[Muthsera80]

No there is a difference. The EU doesn't have a single foreign policy and a single armed forces. You have smaller states who have joined in what was primarily a trade union of states. But it is fast becoming a state of its own. That makes me slightly worried as it has a serious negative democratic political organ.

But to take my own country. Norway, we didn't have the right to our own foreign policy until independence in 1905, and was one of the reasons we chose to break the union with Sweden.

[Muthsera80]

*cont* However, thats a sidestep. Doesn't change the fact that you misrepresented why Obama got the award. And what the award is about.

[Muthsera80]

*cont*

of his person and approach to be more important and have focused on that instead. You need to understand how the prize work to fully appreciate that. You also need to understand what the Will of Nobel says. That the prize should go to the person who has done the most to establish peace in the world. No other person have done more than precisely Obama on that. Can you think of anyone more deserving under that agenda?

[resto776]

you gotta be shittin' me....

[Muthsera80]

Why do so many people misinterpreted this years award? Its given fair enough. The reason is solid.

[deedee2244]

A beautiful award prediction from 8 months ago on youtube :

"Nobel Peace Prize Prediction . . . Pres.Obama For His Message to World"

[deedee2244]

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)

[bubba85715]

Don't say things like this when you don't know what you are talking about.

In his 1st 6 months in office, Obama spent more money w/ his stimulus than all our previous presidents combined. You are so hell bent on hating bush, that you will say anything to fit your argument.

I was not pleased with bush myself. He was too soft on securing our borders for example.

When I see a comment like the one you left though, it makes me question how much you really know. Shame on you.

[barrenpaladin]

even the dude in back is laughing about it!!!! we all know its a cruel joke!

[seyjune]

what the hell were they thinking... i mean obama isnt a bad person but he hasnt done shit yet.

the only thing that hes done is break the white president streak and replace george bush

[Muthsera80]

He have done a lot of things. Just because you might not value them. Doesn't mean its not an effort. I think its a fitting person this year.

[frio109]

You mean like appoint dozens and dozens of radical communist as his Czars?

[ObserverOfPakleds]

Um, we need some change and some hope to make our president go.

[LukeTheFlook]

this just proves that the nobel peace prize is just a tool to prop up the "chosen ones" while they continue to commit horrible crimes against humanity

[roscoe85cj]

My committee is working up another postumous award for Barack O'BlahBlah .. we're gonna call it the Crusty Dingleberry

.. .. to honor Hussein's achievements in training flocks of sheep to sing praises of Socialism

[Elendryst]

Sima Samar risked her life all throughout the Taliban to educate Afghan girls and women.

Dr. Denis Mukwege heads a hospital and took in violently beaten and raped women in the Congo.

Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: Went around to old battlefields and cleaned up munitions, saving hundreds of innocent lives worldwide from leftover minefields and munitions from wars past.

These people were passed over in favor of hope in change, real people that brought hope in change.

[Dudeliduu]

Nobels fredspris Vinnere:

Obama '09

EU '10

Jagland '11

Gratulerer forøvrig Jagland og Stoltenberg med prisen. Nå får de endelig møte idolet sitt.

[campeonpp]

What a shame. War worst in Afghanistan, idem in Irak, no change in Guantànamo. More threat in Colombia and South America. Support coup d'etat in Honduras, He wants attack Iran.

What happens in Oslo? Are they blind?

Obama is a angelface with evilheart. Viva Piedad Còrdova y otros candidatos.

[ceramic57]

Can't say much about other parts of the world...but Obama has brought death and sufferings to Pakistan at a greater pace than Bush.

[francistansecoDOTcom]

a sick joke. Obama and nobel price? nobel price is a joke

[WingedCity01]

I don't care how u guys criticize Obama. But nobody cares about republicans haha

[springcreekcolo]

Apparently 1984 is finally here War is Peace ok folks lets all get our doublespeak dictionaries out

its going to be a couple of rough decades ahead.

Watch out for Big Brother" he is watching you...

[mhunt05]

Why is it that every one of you cant stop talking about Bush? For crying out loud how does any of this have to do with Bush? Its not like Bush said he wanted or should of won the NPP!

[Guernicaman]

This is just to spite Fox News, Limbaugh, Beck & Hannity...I love it. ;)

[sirjohan8]

Fy faen bare på grunn av at han er den første negern som er president i usa så  kan han ikkje få nobels fredspris, han hakke gjort en dritt for freden.

[Kulumuli]

Først blei jeg jævli oppgitt over Jagland & Co. Nå har det gitt seg litt. Men jeg mener at det største problemet er at myndighetene ser kun på politisk tilhørighet når man plasserer folk i viktige verv. Jeg kan umulig tenke meg at noen av disse fem ville fått jobben hvis faglige kvalifikasjoner lå til grunn. Og resultatet av det ser vi i hele det offentlige Norge. Og nå ser også hele verden det.

Kanskje beslutningen var et rop om hjelp?;)

[MrPeshawari76]

Those who Planned how to kill more muslims in this world , will win nobel prizes.

Those who talk against Islamic religion will be given knighthood like Salman Rushdi.

[sveinungws]

jævla idioter! Hvorfor skriver alle på engelsk? Jagland snakker norsk i klippet, dessuten er det utekstet. Dere er alle nordmenn og ingen andre vil bry seg ...

[borgen1992]

Faktisk ikke, de fire kommentarene før deg kom fra Marokko, Cook-øyene, Storbritannia og USA.

Grunnen er at ingen på YT har underteksta.

[babajouba]

the 2009 biiiiig joke.

[babajouba]

in the same time who he receive this joke price, he was in reunion with the generals to send more troops to killing afghan children.

[krwytz]

From now on Nobel = Shit!

[stickyslide]

I love that this makes u mad, this is just a smack in the face to george bush and I love it. he deserved it, has done a lot

[tonyrockstar]

obama a man of peace?? lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololoololl george Orwell double think!! war is good!!

[atemikage]

I did not know nobel commitee was giving out awards for "good intention's" . WTF HAS HE DONE?!!? SERIOUSLY?!! NOTHING!!! WTF NORWAY!?!? WTF?!?!?!

[JDPTheFuture]

Love the shocking gasp that comes over the crowd, when they announce Obama the winner, lol, Everyone knows that him winning is absoulute Bullshit, No doubt.

[Hylanvahr]

Wow, they actually managed to devalue the reputation of the Prize to a mere popularity award. And so the hypocrisy continues to spread like wildfire throughout the world, and sheeple sing praises for today's presidents who could easily be tomorrow's tyrants. Good night and good luck.

[Elislang]

embarassing on norways behalf.

[frio109]

@Elislang It should be embarrassing. Or maybe its just socialism.

[leonheart00]

Do the outrages ever stop?

[xochelsayyxo]

why is it an outrage?

[mikezephyr]

here's why:

type in

It's the End of the World as We know it and I feel Fine Season 3 Episode 14

[leonheart00]

It is an outrage because Gandhi didn't get the Nobel peace prize, because Reagan didn't get it, because that prize was for people like Linus Pauling who actually helped people all over the world. It wasn't a reward for agreeing with an Anti-American agenda.

[ItaLlThesame]

two wars!!!

[arodaman]

I think what some of you've forgotten is that Obama did not start either war. Its not like he can just pull out of either one.

[xochelsayyxo]

thank you! finally,thank you person with a brain!!! congrats to obama, idk if he earned it so soon, but oh well i will support him because he is our leader, i beleive what he does and we are a nation, and we all need to start acting like it.

[Hylanvahr]

Actually, with the simple stroke of a pen and a few phone calls, both wars could end tonight, and all the troops could be pulled out by the end of the month. There is nothing at all that is forcing America to stay in Iraq and Afghanistan other than political corruption and Keynesian economics.

[ItaLlThesame]

I never said he started either war but he DID say he would pull out

[yorubablk3]

wtf??!!!

[babajouba]

gut morgen --- good morning :

damen und herren , blachablachacha blablalala.

the noble price , it's fuckin biiiiig joke.

[wingsmanx5]

who are those people vote for obama to have nobel prize? those europeans just want to lick the american stinky ass to make them happy but americans always kick their ass. CHEAP EUROPEANS.

[Cypha1]

i like obma . bt this is way to early...i am sure he will deserve this orize but they should have wait 2-3 years...obama have good goals but he did not have accomplished anything yet( he is just 9month in office) in that perspective ...so like i said they should have wait a couple of years....bbut maybe this will be a motivation for him to push even harder for peace

[fred1984tx]

why everytime Thorbjørn Jagland mentions obama's name the guy in the back is laughing

[MrPerterLincoln]

Congratulations Mr President.

This is fantastic.

Now as the most revered peacekeeper in the world my proposal to you sir is to disarm Israel from it's possesion of their illegal nuclear weapons. That would bring stability to the region as it would for the rest of the world. The Iranians would step down from their efforts to create equal strength. A win win win situasion and no one loses face.

[1milewski]

Holy shit are you dumb and naive.

[MrPerterLincoln]

What kind of a responce is that, please motivate why israel can be the only country in the world in possesion of illegal nukes and still avoid international sanktions.

[1milewski]

Ill answer that after you tell me why IRAN has ANY credibility at all? Their Holy book tells them to kill infidels, i.e. Europeans, F U!!!

[MrPerterLincoln]

I don't think that is only the iranians holy book as you state it. The book you refers to belongs to all muslims all over the world. That still do not allow any country to be in possession of illegal nukes, not even Israel.

[MrPragmatism]

Oh stfu 1milewski.

Iran at least has a reason for nuclear weapons after seeing the death and destruction caused in Iraq. Ahmedjin would have to be seriously retarded NOT to arm the country with nukes having seen all the threats and intimidation towards them from the US and even more so after seeing the occupation, looting and murder next door. Use your brain FFS. And screw the Quran and the Bible ffs, religion should have nothing to do with world affairs. Use some common sense.

[MrPragmatism]

Obama winning a NPP? WTF is the world coming to? I didnt know that being the leader of a country which is in two occupational wars would merit you with a NPP! We may aswell issue a belated NPP for Adolf too.

[mhunt05]

Are you fucking kidding me? Have you not see the vid of Iranians yelling " DEATH TO ISRAEL, DEATH TO AMERICA"!! Israel first showed interest in procuring nuclear materials in 1949 and have yet to use them so thus are proven responsible enough to have them! Iran on the other hand would use them at any chance they could get for any reason! IF Obama get a NPP then Reagan should get one as well for ending the cold war without one shot fired!!!

[JDPTheFuture]

Yeah, the only shot fired at Reagan, was at him, lol, that's got to count for something?

[lcromy]

Jesus H. Fucking Christ you have got to be kidding me!!! The liberal commys of the world are truly uniting behind their leader, and I believe trying to make him a god. I thought when the Prophet Al Gore won a NPP it nullified this award, but with Osama winning...truly made it worthless.

[lickitynick]

I guess anyone who replaces Bush deserves the Nobel Peace. More awards to come.

Has Obama served President for a year, yet ?

[lalotaty]

Just need to nominate a serial murderer or a GARAVITO to UNICEF's SECRETARY GENERAL

[abiehakhawaja]

ha ha ha what a joke!!

[DevaRupa]

Why is it a joke? Don't you actually follow the news?

[iowadoctorphil]

The committee decided on this less than two weeks after his coronation, er - inauguration. What is the reaction at 0:18? shock? surprise? embarrassment?

[GabbruPunjabi]

He won nobel...but for wht????? can anyone tell me plz??? im waiting ????

or u should change the name of price may b !!!!

[DevaRupa]

Don't you actually follow the news?

[fivecougarsoz]

I cant help but feel that they're awarding Obama on what he CAN - and hopefully will - achieve, but after less than 1 year as a President it just seems a bit premature. But having said that, the world could do with an Obama or two right about now!

[11BlueWolf11]

Nobel Committee.boot likers.

[spotandedgar]

How does the guy who just bombed the moon win a nobel peace prize.

[dantrelbonae]

This show that the only people in the world that feel that president obama is evil is you narrow minded redneck dumb fucks in america....dont you feel dumb ?

[portalboy07]

I gotta agree with you on that one.

[matthewamannino]

Very true

[Silberdachs]

Cue the predictable flood of irrelevant hate spew from the pathetic anti-Obama wingnuts.

Go suck on Rush's dick, you retarded losers.

[mwtillotson]

Because if people don't agree with the blue-tie demagogue, we're clearly "wingnuts" and conservatives.

Step out of the false dichotomy, moron.

[jwh30385]

really stupid? norway happens to have the highest standard of living in the world, the highest per capita GDP in the world, the highest income in the world, the freest press in the world, one of the highest life expectancy rates in the world, lowest infant mortality rates in the world, lowest level of poverty in the world.

so who are you calling worthless/honorless?

[Sylteagurken89]

Dette e skandale!!! Korfor ska han få Barac Obama få den!!

[Copyrigths]

GÅ tebake i sylteakurk flaska du, ingen lika dæ!

Sosialist faen, endelig noe posetivt for de borgerlige partiene, kanskje kan FRP gjøre det samme i norge!

[Sylteagurken89]

hahahahhah kommunist? hahahahah seriøst, Frp? suuug meg!

[buddy52901]

I support and voted for President Obama, but this is a prize for not being W. I waiting for the Sally Field moment, You like me, you really like me!

[mostecri]

uh oh watchout the republihater heads are gona explode

[Copyrigths]

Your a dumb fuck aren't ya?

[waldentree]

WTF!?!?!????

[reniafrompoland]

that make me laugh so hard - he got a credit nobel prize or something

he did nothing, this is ridiculous, even more than nobel for Al Gore

[KoRnchi]

nuclear free world is nothing? Go obama

[reniafrompoland]

he made the world nuclear free? wow! but I can't see it

[KoRnchi]

The fight for a nuclear free world is one of the most important 20`century issues i belive along side with global warming.
