@southernavenger: If you wish to be such a big crybaby about Obama and what he didn't do for you (compared to the things that he actually DID accomplish) then I suggest that instead of voting for him, you should have voted for Ralph Nader when you and all of the other morons that call yourself 'progressive' (more like totalitarian as you and the rest wanted a dictator of your own that was socialistic in nature) had the chance. Crying like whiny crybabies isn't going to help you this time.
On the bright side, Afghanistan is where empires go to die, and the United Socialist States of AmeriKKKa will prove no exception. We failed to learn anything from the Soviets.
Jack's point about the merit of the prize is well taken, but to say that Obama's foreign policy is aligned with Bush's when one initiated two wars and the other inherited both is hyperbole. In the same way starting a bar fight is qualitatively different from stopping a bar fight.
I'm sorry but this video kind of got annoying after awhile. I mean it wasn't the information being presented in the video. It was just boring. I lost focus after a little while.
Simple, if you just had a spoon of suger, an apple would become sour/less sweet; if you just drink a cup of really bitter herbal tea, that same apple would taste sweet. BO is just a less bitter bit after GW thus appears to be sweet.
Before I say anything else. I am a black man and at the risk of being called "Uncle Tom" but this is just another example of what I feel is destroying our nation. Meritless undeserved awards.I liken it to the end of Little league season. When all the false self esteem boosting awards are given. So everyone can feel special. Like most awards today, the Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless. It's like putting lipstick on a pig. Just a waste.
You know something isn't right when people like Henry Kissinger, Yasser Arafat, and Barack Obama receive an award for as they put it to bring peace.Then someone like Mohandas Gandhi who clearly sacrificed his life to advocate peace only got nominated five times but never received it . Apparently his charming exterior wasn't enough so the powers that be needed to add a shiny gem to Obama's velvet glove that covers his iron hand.You have to really tip your hat and stand in awe to their brilliance
The only problem with this video, is the entire Rush Limbaugh argument. I agree with all the Ron Paul stuff, but really everything wasn't in context. When Obama was Nominated for the Nobel peace prize, he was less than 2 weeks (14 days) into being president. Ron Paul's comment was made AFTER Obama had been president and committed to the war. So no these arn't comments towards the same subject at the same time. Therefore your polar argument is none sense, and most of the video.
the swiss are kissin up to o'bama because the usa is wanting the swiss to turn over the tax evaders /us citizens using their bank to hide u.s currency
Dittoheads are ignorant morons, it's a mislabeling to call them "conservatives." They are traitors to America.
Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize because he isn't talking like Bush, and isn't directly threatening 5 different nations like Bush did. Basically, for not being Bush, and give Obama some international political capital.
Do you ignorant cons understand why we have the UN in NYC? So we can spy on them, dumbasses. God cons are the dumbest people on earth.
Read End The Fed by Dr. Ron Paul, father of Dr. Rand Paul and author of 'The Revolution A Manifesto'; another excellent book. You can download the audiobooks online free and buy copies of the book cheap from Amazon to ship to people for X-MAS!
He wins a peace prize while were at war.With more than one country.And considering warring with Iran.And gets it for diplomacy.And where was Obama when Clinton was doing the hostage negotiations?Right he was inviting ignorant massholes over for beers!
As a leftist myself, I am not a fan of Obama either. But yes, the fact that Barack Obama is not George W. Bush is an improvement. But even McCain would have been an improvement to Bush. That's not saying much. McCain would have been a bad presidency, and Obama's presidency is a bad one. In my 40 years, I can't recall ever having a decent president. They all suck.
badtown, you reply as though obama has done ANYTHING substantive. Guantanamo is still open, we still practice rendition and torture, we're still involved in two undeclared unconstitutional wars, and he refuses to raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy to pay for any of his domestic spending, which is entirely focused on bailing out wall street while more and more people lose their homes and job so wall street can profit by 'cutting corners'. He's a tool of corporations, just like Bush was.
Dude, fuck off. That WAS MY POINT. I'm saying Obama hasn't done anything and that anyone would be better than Bush. Stop reading so much into simple comments.
When Obama won the Nobel Prize, my main reaction was laughter.
And you are of course right that Limbaugh is full of it.
But I note you wish Obama would be more like Daddy Bush and Clinton, when each had their own military adventures. Indeed, Daddy Bush is the one who got our major military forces into Iraq in the first place, and Clinton played the strategic strike and throw-missiles-at-Al-Queda game.
this is how you separate the shills from the heros, Limbaugh is nothing but a shill for the /neo-con/military industrial complex faction of the republican party, ron paul is a man of principle and a hero.
Obama is a pacifist peace monger,... yeah right , Rush, whatever you say, keep popping those oxycotton .
The Nobel Committee's Peace Prize standards to Micheal Moore's style of documentary journalism. In both cases their product may have been worth somthing if they weren't so misguided by one sided agendas and for that matter agendas that don't make any sense; ie Liberal agendas. There is no fairness to either and that makes the final product null & void as far as value is concerned. The Nobel used to be prestigious now it's worth less than winning the teddy bear at the fair in carnival games.
Only half. Though I agree 100% with them regarding U.S. foreign policy, paleoconservativism inevitably leads to tribalism. Tribalism is no way out. And when I say left, I mean the hard, anti-late-capitalism anti-corporate-globalist Marxist left. I'm sure Southern Avenger would agree with me, too, if we were to sit down and talk. Raimondo, too, for that matter.
I told see your point SA. Bush's foreign policy seems similar to Obama's, both make decision about war.
I see HUGE difference tho.
I believe Obama will end the war in Iraq. But an immediate withdraw will be illogical, it'll take time.
Afghanistan is completely different to Iraq, remember 9/11. Obama said he has always backed invasion in Afgan. I wish we didn't have to be there, but we were attacked.
I know blowback is primarily the reason, but kindness to guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
Keep on "believing" in Obama. Nothing is going to change and you have no idea what you are doing in Afghanistan anyway. Get ready to kiss some Chinese ass.. they learnt peace and capitalism from you and you learnt foolish nationalism and socialism from them.

But we have to make sure our leaders aren't going to make the same mistakes that Neville Chamberlain did.

We're isolationists now.
Unless you consider bombing people into Democracy as a "neighborly" activity.
Paul supports non-intervention. Which simply means that we trade, talk, and deal with the world in a civilized manner. A more open approach..
Paul is absolutely NOT an isolationist.
