What a joke!!!!! Gandhi, a man who liberated a whole country, indured beatings, hunger and redicule....never got a "Nobel Peace Prize". I feel sorry for people like you that lead by the nose like cattle.
Well I respect your side. I on the other hand am unhappy that he was nominated in the first place. What about the others that were nominated like Sima Samar who lived an oppressed life in Afghanistan and had to flee her country. She is an example of a deserving modern fighting woman for the rights of all people. According the reason he got it was because "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." he didn't do any of this in 8 months.
Astro: I think that the President does deserve this award, he is trying to use the power that was graciously bestowed upon him through the votes of the american people! HE IS TRYING TO PROMOTE PEACE, OH MY GOD, WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! Thank God, the nay sayers can't take it away from him! Thank god we have a president of color, one who understands us and cares, thank you jesus finally after so many years of
tuber809, You Are So DECEIVED! In Obama's Own Words and Works he IS a RACIST AGAINST WHITES, and In his Own Words This IS PART Of Obama's AGENDA AGAINST WHITES IN The U.S.A.: .: "Race Baiting Could Make Up For a Host of Limitations! (By) A Steady Attack On The White Race, The Constant Recitation of Black Peoples Brutal Experience In This Country!"/ tuber809, How Does This Promote PEACE? What About All The Brutal Experiences That WHITES Experience From Blacks IN THIS COUNTRY, You HYPOCRITE?
Astro: in what way is he deserving of this prize? What has he done thus so far in domestic issues? Were still going to war with another country? Hm so he gets a prize for sending thousands to their death? Just like George Bush he wants to police the planet. He won't cut these useless governmental enterprises..TARP, No child left behind, he wants government to regulate the free markets!! Hm again I ask how is he deserving of this award.
Obama has been campaigning for this award since being nominated. He should have been a man of honor and not accepted this award, of course he is to arrogant for that. He put our troops and Eastern Europe in harm for prestige. ONE TERM PRESIDENT.
Firing missiles at Pakistan, tens of thousands of more troops headed to Afghanistan, Bagram becoming the new gitmo, rendition continuing....yeah, some peace.
may I add, Harry that I worked on the DEm board of elections for many yrs...so I was present on voting days...and in all fairness plenty of pretty ignorant hillfolk came down in thier shitkickers still full of cow dung...I can still hear them shouting at their wives..."never mind reading the bills and info...just pull all the Republican levers!". So its on both sides. As a lifelong Dem I was unable to vote for Obama, the research I did scared me, but I try to keep my head clear and fair.
you can disagree with him all you want, but i think this is an utterly false statement. I have no love for George Bush, but never did I think that he didnt Love Americans...well the Katrina response is questionable, but other than that..
astro: In your eyes,maybe not, & believe me it does not make me happy to say that,but I do believe its true. As for Bush, I didn't vote for him, but the one reason I was able to tolerate him as pres was because I felt sure that he loved this country. THIS country, what it was founded to be, not what an egocentric mind could change it into. If Barack & Michelle could badmouth the USA after the free ride the people of America gave them all their lives, I can not accept that as love of country.
Is there ONE black guy on the planet that isn't up Barack Obama's ass. They just can't get it through there heads that the party they keep voting for because it throws them a few crumbs, is the party that's holding them down by making them comfortable with just those few crumbs and they become dependent on the government.
WHERE ON EARTH HAS Obama BROUGHT PEACE? Obama IS DESTROYING and DIVIDING THIS COUNTRY and The WORLD! GOD IS RIGHT, LIKE ALL HYPOCRITES He HAS His REWARD, St. Matthew 6:1-2, and The WISDOM Of THIS WORLD IS STUPIDITY IN GOD'S JUDGMENT, 1 Corinthians 3:19-20!
I'm not sure how he got it when we are still fighting two "major" wars and he is actually INCREASING our military presence in Afghanistan. How is that peaceful? Has he improved our image internationally...?? That still remains to be seen. People have been enamored with him for a while, but as he's showing he's still more of the same old same old... I really don't get it. And you KNOW I am not part of the right wing attack machine.
astro: Its not about hate. He was in office 2 weeks when the nominations had to be in. He had not had time to unpack his things yet. Thats why so many from other coutries are saying this was a fix job. I think if you think for a moment you can see their point. 2 weeks. They are laughing at us.
astro: I dont think anyone can rightly or fairly answer that question, we'd have to be in the minds of what each voter (nominator) thought would help his/her own country most. And I do agree that is no fair way to choose anything. But the fact remains, what did BHO do in the first 2 wks of his presidency to warrent a Nobel? Thats not to put him down...the fact is what could ANYONE do in 2 weeks? It just does not look good...thus all the shock & dissagreement with the award. PS lifelong DEM here.
astro: I think there is plenty of blame to go around. Yes, I agree the Olympic committee deserves a great deal of it, but I have to say that if Obama did not so plainly wear a forsale sign on his chest, they and some World leaders of questionable motives would not offer to buy him. He is not strong on America, and clearly does not love Americans...thats all the better for their team. AS a Dem I watched for decades as soft Dems got this prize. it never made me proud.I'm sorry, this is not good.
I could not stop laughing when i heard that he won. It really is a joke. He hasn't done anything. And what's funny is that the deadline to be nominated is two weeks after he became president.
Maybe I should start making a effort to make peace around the world so i can win a noble peace prize.
I think the olympics was a true slap in the face to Obama he did not finish second he finished last. This being said I wonder how a president even gets nominated after two weeks in office? This prize has lost its reputation to me, but thats just my thoughts
this was not "Obama's" olympics, this was Chicago's Mayor Richard Daley slap in the face.. Daley has to live with the fall out, the dashed dreams of repairing Chicago's infrastructure, stimulating the economy, and elevating Chicago to a world class city.
That fucking retard, Obama got the Nobel for escalating the war in Afganistan. hehe....... You liberals are really stupid.
