JCV Travels: Nobel Peace Center (Oslo, Norway) Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize 2009

[Wongchingfung]

Since Obama has been awarded, the nobel peace prize has lost its value and become a symbol of supporting crimes and wars. There is no such thing like necessary violence, even Gandhi and Martin Luther King could move and influence the world with their peaceful movements. There is no greater embarassment and humiliation as to put Obama on the same level as them ~

[tzotz87]

Gracias, nice video and music.

[asshole9123]

eh i could go ranting about how obama sucks and has done nothing, but i would rather enjoy norway's beauty

[marywinmusic]

hallo JC, the footage and editing you captured just fits wonderfully with Dan's song. The opening statement in your video description brings me back to my childhood. We were taught such things on a regular basis at Thurgood Marshall elementary. I'm proud to know you feel this way. Very nice that you were able to visit such a historic site and share your experience with us.

[MikeyL]

Hey Pal. That must have been an incredible experience for you knowing all the icons that have been honored with this prize. You also deserve a hats off here for posting what you have too. Extremely controversial declaration to Obama given the variables here and even to his shock too. I'll save my opinions but again send you my friend a hats off to this posting and am glad you enjoyed a wonderful experience you will never forget! Your a quality guy! Cheers pal. Mike.

[daddymunk]

i live in norway and its fucking AWSOME

[caramelturtles]

WOW ~nicely done, thanks for sharing this type of video with YT.

[JackLivesTogether]

There are worse things going on in the world than Obama getting the piece prize.

[DefendinMyBase]

This was completely off! He shouldn't have won the Nobel Peace prize because he didn't DO anything. You have to do somthing to promote peace and acheive it not say, be nice you terrorist. I'll forgive you for killing thousands in a genocidal campain against the free world if you play nice from now on.

[icygood101]

very cool place! i dig it =]

[ctswright]

man im so jealous that ur like traveling Europe right now, lol. that must be pretty cool to be in the same place where so many people have received such a prestigious award.

[jcvanluyn]

it truly is=)

[northmen4999]

you americans are killing your leader he has to fix the biggest mess ever and you guys just think the second he gets in to ofice every rhing should be fixed he has 4 years to try to fix it give him time

[JackLivesTogether]

It's not all Americans who thinks he was going to come in there and fix everything with the snap of his finger.

I feel sorry for him because many felt that would happen. He has the biggest problem to fix, and it's not going to take the snap of a finger to fix it. He needs time, and people should give him that.

Fixing and 8 year mess, needs time.

[JackLivesTogether]

an 8 year mess'

[DELMONICOZ]

yeah! i like JCV his music is awesome!

[BanditKarl]

love the music ... :)

[WeAreBullets]

its great that we've gotten this far, human rights wise, but unfortunately he is not the change everyone made him out to be, its false chnage, false hope. really, do ur homework people, him and Bush are no different.

- look at the documentary "Obama Deception" , the entire thing is here on youtube.

[encinitasmel]

Nice JC ... historical places are always amazing to visit .. like you say, so many of the worlds great people have been in that one place ...

How yah been?

mel.

[shureek]

JCV what the fuck?

artists should be thinkers man, clearly you aren't one. You just lost a fan amigo.

[xcfitzx]

JVC is a good guy. You are the one here who isn't using your brain, not him.

[DarthJader11]

so far i haven't seen him do anything in office besides increase national debt. how in heck does he deserve this? oh yeah, he doesn't.

[Crunch0r]

I am not so good at English, since I don't live in an English speaking nation.

But I can say one nice word for you:

Inheritance

You might be able to link that word to something else if you want...

[DarthJader11]

no one is supposed to "inherit" the peace prize. it's awarded to those who DESERVE it. but apparently people don't know who DOES deserve it anymore.

[helganatt]

It's more of a call for action. He's got the biggest influence on wars in the whole world.

[DarthJader11]

influence, sure; but he still hasn't done anything about it. to put it in the words of a famous country song:

"a little less talk and a lot more action"

would do us all some good.

[helganatt]

I know, I'm just saying that is why the nobel committee gave it to him. He might never do any good...

[Crunch0r]

APPARENTLY ppl have forgotten about bush..

That's what I meant with inheritance...

Obama inherited the crap of bush, which is obviously going to cost money to fix, to come back on your national debt argument.

[Iamtosexyformylife]

obama doesn´t deserve the nobel prize

[ThexXxSeanxXx]

=)

You should make a Song about Barack Obama! :D

[Zeldamaster1989]

How fun that you were in Norway! Next time you must visit Bergen and play some songs :3

[jcvanluyn]

Bergen=)

[saajveh]

It's weird to think that you've been in my hometown :P

[jcvanluyn]

nothing weird about it=) it's a cultural and historic town...The Nobel Peace Prize Winners have all visited your town!!! now that's amazing!

[monsterbazz]

Great video, JC. Thanks for sharing.

[pianoportrait]

he did nothing to win the prize. not one thing. infact he caused peace to be disturbed! he arose anger in people! tsk tsk tsk.

[gamefan101]

you are totally right on that friend lol

[bitchslapper12]

0:39 Is that Hendrix?

[ljks1]

hey.. how did you enjoy norway?

i live there ;)

[m22k3yt]

Awesome video.

lol at the guy with a pink apron. He came out of nowhere.

[eoublue]

I belief that awarded Obama the NPP is a premature decision, true, and as he said, there's more qualified people than him for that prize, but still, I'm really proud of my president, n yeah, he's the image of hope for this so racist and full of hate and war country, and I really admire the way he's trying to keep international diplomacy, he he, n with Castro and Chavez (those two are so special). He's picture is next to MLKJ, so proud. Mother Teresa.

[pianoportrait]

are u being serious? castro and chavez??? u have got to be joking

[gamefan101]

How can you call a ruthless dictator special? you are so far off track you can give the term dumb a new meaning!! wow Ignorance truly is a bliss

[eoublue]

LOL.... I'm been sarcastic dude .... If I'm saying that I admire the way he's trying to keep diplomacy with people like Castro n Chavez, is because those two characters are not easy to maintain a peaceful, descent or normal relation ;-P chill out,, is obvious if I support Obama, I'm not supporting any communist or dictator leader X [

[gamefan101]

damn it lol sarcasm is hard to pick up on in a text comment dang it haha

[SatwaMan]

Very cool Kiddo !

Nice Vid !

[Snuilp]

And don't forget to stop all wars yesterday!

[FuzzyNavel17]

Whether you like Obama or not, this video was still sooo cool. To be able to view what it looks like is amazing. Thanks for sharing it! =)

And to all the Obama 'haters', apparently you didn't know that in his speech he said there were others MORE qualified than him to receive it. So yeah, quit whining that he didn't deserve it, he already knows! ;)

[gamefan101]

its also funny how he shunned the very people who gave him the award hmmm doesnt seem like a real prize winner to me hmmm? but by all rights he should have turned it down taking something that you truly do not deserve shows just what type of lying cheating leader he is it is just that simple

[timdoog42]

Although Im not and Obama fan; the video was neat .thanks for posting JC

[jcvanluyn]

I was just lucky to experience this...no matter who the nobel peace prize winner was when I visited, I'd still make this video for that person...it's a lifetime experience just to be there..

[potchammy]

Wow, I really loved this video! Being able to finally vote and make history is something I'll never forget.

Thanks for uploading this.

[jcvanluyn]

to be able to see and live history in the present...

[CyndiNoName]

did you see the spiral?!

[jcvanluyn]

spiral? do tell..

[Adamguy2003]

I don't think Obama should have won the award, for the same reason why I don't think he should have won the election: Because there are plenty of other people far more qualified for it than him.

To name just one of the other, rejected Nobel nominees who's more deserving of it: Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's Communist system (Consider the symbolic value of giving the award to a Chinese dissident on the 20th anniversary of Tianenmen Square).

[n8iveidiot13]

your right I dont think obama shouldve won this... if this is because he "stopped the war on terror" for saying and speech about stopping it than sending 30,000 troops to kill them is completely ridiculous... people need to open there eyes that this guy is a lying scumbag and shouldnt even won it for not even achieving anything besides the presidency

[eoublue]

Yeah. that's a huge contradiction, unfortunately there's necessaries wars, n even though he's trying to strength diplomacy n fight against nuclear weapons, just the fact that he's the leader in chief of a country in war makes him not worthy for this prize... but well... the decision is make for people with way more knowledge than me... I still so proud of my president!!! XD

[Riverweed]

Wow, you came to Norway? How do you like it so far? Hehhe... this year the snow is late, so it seems to look rather dark around.

[jcvanluyn]

I'm back from Norway. Yes, it's very dark. Unfortunate that I was not able to see Norway while the sun was out..but I was fortunate to not have it pour rain..light drizzle here and here...but I truly did enjoy my stay..eventhough it was quite expensive=) but I got ways around that...;)

[Timetraveler98]

Barack Obama shouldn't of won a nobel peace prize he hasn't done anything yet.

[Riverweed]

I think Obama gave the people something important: Hope. Although I personally dont think that will constitute to a Nobel Peace prize, but Hope can be a very strong element :)

[oreo5356]

obama only won beacuse all the things he said he would do, everyone knows that at most he will probably only get like half the things done, for those haters out there, i do not hate obama and im not racist, its just that he promised alot of huge things, it seems impossible to do all of it in 4 years!!!

[Timetraveler98]

He still doesn't desreve that nobel prize, I'm not racist towards Obama, but he just doesn't thats my belive of the matter.

[jcvanluyn]

The Norwegian Nobel Committee's criteria for its decision is in the sidebar..

[awesomepat96]

i agree the nobel peace prize chair was like ok so you do all this stuff later and we give you this award right now?

[kutturkuttur]

amazing.
