Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize: News Current

[RDrizzleFoShizzle]

Obam just did nothing and gains the nobelaward. Ai weiwei demonstrates for human rights and gets nothing but imprisonned!!!

[TheTruthNow000]

DumbDuck44, you are well named ... dumb. President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Deal with it. If there was a Nobel Prize for alienating the world or sowing discord, perhaps Mr's Bush and Cheney could have shared those Nobel Prizes.

[felizgatito]

@TheTruthNow000 Obama's Nobel Peace Prize ROFLMAO Well, it was every bit as deserved as Gore's or Arafat's. ROFLMAO again.

[poitrenaud]

Aren't you proud that you Finally have a Dignified President?

Finally, a decent, clear speaking man who represents a great country.

This man is the best thing that has happened to America in Generations.

I am a Conservative;lean on being Republican--

PRESIDENT Barack Obama is NOT a Socialist; Not a Communist, He doesn't want to ruin America-

and "America's Republic" hasn't existed since 1950-

Truman was a Knit-Wit-

Like Bush: "I'm a Wartime President-"

MORONS

Congrats, President Obama

[DumbDuck44]

the guy is in office two weeks when the tally for the nobel peace prize was in, and he hasn't pulled out of Iraq on Day 1 as promised and he has increased our number of troops in the middle-east and hasn't done anything to help the situation with Iran nor North Korea.

How he is the most worthy person to win the Nobel peace prize is beyond me. They gave it to him as INCENTIVE to strive for peace. WTF?

You don't give out Oscars to an actor as incentive to act better for an upcoming movie lol!

[scenedezzy]

he just isnt supposed to support one ethnicity. he should serve as the American president. But evidently hes not really doing his job. Thank you for reading this!

[scenedezzy]

its just sad what society has led to. and everyone is going crazy about the ''H1N1'' virus going on... its sad what everyone believes in this country and we need to evaluate things before we actually make that jump to do anything drastic for any cause... and I am discussed how a lot of African Americans say that obama is ''black''. well hes mixed and

[scenedezzy]

... we have men out there fighting our battles.,, and no one is helping them or making plans to help them at all... meanwhile,.. We have our president doing absolutely nothing to help our country to get this war straightened out so that the American families could come back to our homes...

[scenedezzy]

He did absolutely nothing to our country to make it better to earn a noble peace prize! Abraham Lincoln did more than obama would ever do! They have no reason to give it to him at all! Our country needs to stick to the constitution and abide by all the laws, and we need to get things straightened out before we give out awards to people or the president for no apparent reason! This is what makes our country look bad..

[SouthP17CD]

Obama is the world's patsy. Just listen to this guy talk, maybe this would of worked a year ago, but a year later... the United States has hardly any hope in him now, and if your Europeans do.. its because they dont live in the United States.

[fordonfire]

obama won in his first week as presitednt, he only won , as our radio sataion said , because he is not george bush

and thats sad because bush did some good for our country

[rissleep]

yeah i was surprized too!

[MrMsn1234567890]

He makes me sick..... He is and will destroy this country

[fordonfire]

yea

[BakuPL]

Jonh Paul Second didn't get this award and Obama did. WTF?! Who has done more to this world than old pope?

[ThePharaoho]

Obama is, unlike the last sucky conervative closed minded administration is a visionary. He has reached out and opened America to negotiations rather than continued war with all regions: the Middle East, China, and Russia. A far cry from the self-serving bullying regime before. Because of him America is leading the way toward togetherness and peace with cooperation. Unfortunately, he is forced to continue war with Afghanistan from the Bush years and cannot pull out or America will seem weak.

[kailkay]

That is not why the US cannot pull out of Afghanistan. I question the credibility of your statements based on your obvious misinformation. :(

[ThePharaoho]

Kailkay, I don't know if you have a political mind or not. Ask yourself questions. Put yourself in Obama's shoes O.K. How would the Afghans view the US if we pulled out now? What would happen in then region if we pull out? What will be Pakistans next move if we pulled out? How would your generals who support finninshing the war and say it is winable view you? How would your nation and other countries like China and Russia view you? What about thoses who died? How would you view yourself? Holla!

[kailkay]

As I said, it is not due to any appearance related reason that Obama does not pull out of Afghanistan. To think that is ridiculously unsound, and shows what amoral values you have in heart. America does not need to look strong in order to be strong, after all. No, the reason Obama does not pull out of Afghanistan "immediately" is simply that the region is terribly unstable, and without the support of US troops, other nations such as Canada and Germany who are already bearing a huge burden...

[kailkay]

...would be positively overwhelmed by the insurgent opposition.

[cravecarnag3]

He didnt do anything lol

[MrMegacrazyman]

hes doing a good job i think

[Hbh128]

How could they give this man the Nobel Peace prize for sucking on the Middle East? That's how I view him, and I'm sure that's how they view him. As if saying "we're all equal, and we love you" is supposed to make the war less brutal. Plus, this is also the same man who voted against every other member for a special abortion tactic called infanticide. Look it up.

[PsychedelicSexDream]

Obama has nothing to do with the award , he can't control if he gets it or not , if you think about it he didn't get it every one that voted for him got it ,the american voter won the peace prize.

[fusedblue]

wat did he do

[Nuclearlion73]

Know who else should've gotten a nobel peace prize?

Hitler, he promised his people hope and safety..

[Xelaju16]

i have the same opinions as Obama...where can i pick up my nobel prize?

[HurtWolf]

they ass raped better qualified people for the award and chose a freaking parrot, what a joke...

[Jack23Berry]

obama got elected after 12 days in office. 12 days. bull.

[PandoraProject]

1:16 THATS DAMB RIGHT OBAMA dident do SHIT! -.- so why the hell did he accept it... all that he has done was talk big and fuck the usa in the ass with all this fake ass money that has no backup behind it... all it is good for is cleaning your ass when you are done takin a shit... i bet the US is going to fail kuza obama and his POS idead... MAYBE... just MAYBE... if he takes a step back and look at the people... I MIGHT like him... but nooooo not till then...

[hentaikiller]

Sag mal... Obama wins the Nobel peace price? Peacefull huh.. lIke being the only country in the world to have two 6+ year wars at the same time plus two counter-terrorism measures around the globe... that 4 countries the U.S.A is fucking shit up.. pretty peaceful huh.

[coreyk123]

Ok first God's will? WTF this is not a christian nation.  God doesnt work through america's president. Why does obama get nobel peace prize for killing civilians in pakistan?

[ericgsant92]

such bullshit

[Verivisa]

I think Obama has done well

[TheWarrior2Game7]

What...a...joke...

[KCspur92]

Well, apparently billion dollar bailouts and Ideal Socialist philosophies are the bee-knee's these days! lol

[savergenio]

Its Muslim influence in Europe which is saying that Obama dont take any hard action against Pakistan for Islamic terror.

[kfetter16]

he's done nothing!!!! wtf? i mean, i like obama, he's a damn improvement from bush, but he HASNT DONE ANYTHING YET! let him DO something before we all start awarding him this and praising him for that! ggeesh!

[Chibling]

It was the "you are not Bush" award.

[chhmcom]

you can hardly blame them if it was; Bush = AssHole, foreign or domestic. So you are suggesting some knee-jerk reaction in the international community... possible. But not likely. Bush's term ended when he left office. Now America has new possibilities under a new thinker; may God's will be done.

[timmerman111]

Reagan did a lot more in his presidency to deserve the Nobel. Like helping with bringing down the Berlin wall. Obama was nominated for this prize 10 days after he was put in office! Why are they giving this prestigious award to a man who has done nothing to deserve it?

[negkreyol21]

haha yeah ok how is that a qualification yeah he also brought peace to Honduras, El Salvador help the Iraqis gas Iran into peace and eliminated drugs on American streets and didn't cause the US to have the largest prison population in the world with his war on drugs that turn Colombia,Peru,and the rest of Latin America into peaceful states

i don't support obama having the prize but Reagan LMFAO.....come on guy

[bavly6]

ur naming shit that didn;t happen not a single treaty was signed because of Obama, and Iraq that was all bush's doing Obama did nothing for them. drugs my ass go screw ur self till this day they are still making and sniping them through out those countries gimi proff u ass don;s t just state shit. also do u realize we were on the brink of nuclear war that was stopped by out many older presidents? they stopped a deadly war got nothing but no Obama talks well about peace we give it to him

[negkreyol21]

yeah so the el salvador and honduran civil war never happen, the iran contra affair and the drug war is nonexistent and did you read my entire comment or where you so enrage that you couldn't finish

like i said Reagan is by far the worst candidate for the prize i don't think Obama deserved it either

[Schrodinger12345]

the first american president that didnt start a war :P ?? yet :3

[archivesbc]

Schrodinger, considering how many wars were started by Germany, Germans are the last people to comment on starting a war. Or to quote von Clauswitz - "krieg ist die fortsetzung der politik mit anderen mitteln"

"war is the continuation of politics by other means"

[Schrodinger12345]

my nickname dosent mean that i am german :)))

[tylerGo1]

Schrodinger's cat lives

Schrodinger's cat is dead

[tylerGo1]

Schrodinger's cat lives!

Schrodinger's cat is dead.

[9Crimsonroses]

what the hell did he do to win the nobel prize all he's done is put us in debt.

[Schrodinger12345]

typical american thinking u only think about urself

[rubeboi]

noooo, dont talk like an idiot, why dont you recall the actions of the great dumbass of all time G.W Bush

[Masterdurge]

Exactly it's just becuase he's a different kind of president is all. I think his skin color will make everything he does ten times more powerful. In both respects so if he screws up it comes off that much worse or does good that much better. Honestly though he's just another bum president who won't change much.

[Chrismonchan]

LOL, I liked how Obama starts his speech sounding like "Uh... I am... Uh.. Both surprised and humbled... yea...."

[EleRocks]

I think this is a good thing... My first reaction of hearing this was weirded amusement, but now that I think about it, it's a huge encouraging trust sign and as Obama said "call for action", now he must make a change to really deserve it. I think giving Americans hope and uniting them for a GOOD cause (for peace and "we are one as humankind" -thinking and not for war) is a Great thing to do as Americans have used to live in fear for too long now. Keep up believing folks and support as you can!

[TrummBandLomm]

This is why we only gave Norway one price and we kept the rest(Sweden). This is how it goes...

[MrRussia5000]

why did he get it?

[j10betty]

They give this man the peace prize while hes increasing efforts of war in the middle east. Do you feel the Irony here people. It seems like their trying to make him seem to be the best president in a long long time. I don't know why but i get chills from this stuff. Could He be the anti christ like some say.Only time will tell.

[psykkodukk]

... You're kidding right?

[dragonweengs]

seriously...anti-christ...

so far he's done a better job than the last two terms, but i agree that only time will tell; it's been about 9 months since his inauguration, and has a long way to go

[stripethecat]

Ya i guess a better job is an additional trillion dollars of debt.

[chhmcom]

Why didn't you make an inquiry as to GWB's abuse of the American economy before this poor man had to come in & try to "fix" that mistake. Who did you vote for in '04? I didn't vote for "Bush."

I, for one, am proud of our President.

[audgeyp]

You would think that having your President win the Nobel Peace Prize would make you proud, no matter if you felt he "deserved" it or not. That is actually beside the point. When Gore got his, I didn't ponder whether he deserved the award or not, I was just happy for him.

Sigh.

[AGuyWhoPunkUMama]

okay..that's it...i give up...how did this lunatic get the nobel peace prize? he has increased the troops in afagnistan, he was elected just 12 weeks(or days, not sure) after he was in office...can someone please comment on me and tell me how he got this award? did they change the meaning of 'peace' without us knowing? pls..someone comment on this, preferably someone from Norway...since u ppl seem to be so fond of him. Thank you.

[nuwifflix]

A hope for the future- I think it was a good decision! Better then some stupid country music singer getting it.

[bavly6]

ok! fuck the world this guy is a dumb shit and it pisses the shit out of me because he goes out there and says we need peace so they give him the prise with him having done nothing what peace did he bring man bull shit fuck him!!!!!

[gram1615]

He hasn't do anything...... He wants to get rid of our bombs?? WE are DOMED!! RIP USA

[stripethecat]

He hasn't done shit except screw up our economy even more. Added on a cool trillion dollars to it. Will screw it up more too. Don't want him dead because then its Joe Joe.

[soupjam]

That was Bush that screwed up the economy by dragged America to a senseless war in Iraq that is costing us so far more than 690 billion and counting, not to mention the blood of the young Americans thats on his hands. Where do you think the money coming from? It is coming from you and all of the families in America.

[bavly6]

first of all who said i agreed with bush all i said was it didn;t concern him and although i agree that bush wasn't the best pres he did stand to help his country in a time of need. The guy took charge in tough times. 9/11 had just happened. He wanted to get those bastards back for what they did and secure. and thats what he did. He has lead to the discovery of many of alquida terrorist and has stopped many other bombings

[stripethecat]

Bush did well. He would have been a much better president if it hadn't been for 9/11. He enacted many good laws. everyone just hates him for the Iraq war but what you do if you were attacked by middle eastern terrorists? allow them to continue their attacks on America and in Europe. (Yes there were hundreds of terrorists in the 80's and 90's but all of you Obama lovers were probably busy denying the problems of the world)

[bavly6]

People jsut didn;t understand how important the war was. if we had pulled out of there then the middle east woul;d have been in caous

[soupjam]

The middle east and especially Iraq is in major chaos because of Bush made up war in Iraq, leaving the country a play ground for the terrorists like Al-Qaida and the likes. More than 500,000 Iraqis have died since Bush started the war.

[kfetter16]

yes bush had the unfortunateness that 9/11 occurred early in his presidency, but what makes you a good leader is how you respond to crisis. and he showed he was not up to the cut. he tried to make big moves yet ultimately accomplished nothing positive for the nation, and his war wasnt even directed at the people who attacked america. anyone could be a good president if things were just happy happy during their presidency, but it's th strong leaders who make a positive mark during a crisis.

[Aayisha22]

the world isnt a happy happy place as your are referring to it...the US is in one of the greatest economic battles and the whole world has built a tension towards the US and Obama is working on it

[kfetter16]

lol of course the world isnt a happy happy place! that was exactly my point. a president needs to be able to handle crisis to result in a positive outcome, so a president is very quickly revealed as a good or bad president because the world isnt happy happy and there will always be a crisis president need to deal with. bush's was 9/11, and most of the world as well as most americans feel we've been brought to a worse world thanks to his actions. obama's is the economic strife... and we;ll see

[bavly6]

Bush didn;t screw the economy stupid. It was the many corporations that led to the bad economy not bush. aparently u have no understanding of politics. u r just a follower of the media. how sad has obama done any better ? i don't think so i belive AIG got him good. and economy still not as good. The iraqi war was neccessary to maintain democracy there. If we had pulled out after destroying hussan's regiem the shia and the sonny muslims would have killed each other.

[bavly6]

it would have been a masare then iran would have gotten invloved to defend the shia's in iraq causing sudiarabia and most of the other middle eastern countries to fight iran this would have been a a huge war that would completly shut off the oil flow and cause many mroe problems, but now that the Iraqi gov is stronger we doesn't need many troops there. As u can see we are pulling out and Afghanistan is the target now by Obama's administration. so don't give me that bull about econ and shit!

[soupjam]

Bush and his cronies sucked America to the bottom elevating hate and darkness every where. Iraq became a target to Al-Qaida thanks to sheer ignorance of the Bushs and deliberate wrongs to keep selling death weapons, ammunitions, and rockets. The more fear they sell to the American people the more they can suck from the American blood.

The lives of the innocent are witness to Bush crimes.

[stripethecat]

Ok idiots. I just have a few quick question. Did AIG execs. get their bonuses after they received the government bailout? What happened to them being bankrupt? Was that part of Obama's plan? Oh and also i loved how Obama always talked about removing our troops from Iraq and getting them home. Never heard him say they were just getting redeployed to Afghanistan. Ok and the whole reason we are in this war is because of this little thing called 9/11(God bless those who passed). would you stand by?

[bavly6]

thank you there is some on with the facts and isn't just saying crap because they follow the rest of the herd of morons out there.

[soupjam]

Are you referring to yourself! Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11, but every thing to do with a personal vendetta of the Bush's against Iraq. Their personal thing cost us more than 690 billion and more than 5000 American service men and women and more than 31,000 wounded. Now who is the idiot!

[x12danx]

Even though Obama hasn't been able to accomplish al his peace goals, he has put significant effort and put himself out there for other countries to achieve peace

[soupjam]

what does that mean? !!

speak english please?

[darkknight302]

you should be ashamed of yourself

i thought the world got rid of people like you

i guess cockroaches never die

his failures and his achievements have nothing to do with his race.

again and again people like you you bring all the white people to shame

[Evanangelion]

Your a douche.

[soupjam]

Obama wining the Nobel Peace Prize, is a result of how the world despised and ridiculed Bush. Obama, represent every thing Bush isn't, Bush represented hate, intolerance, war, and disaster, while Obama being the anti-Bush, represent love, fairness,, peace, and hope. I am so happy for America for having Obama.

[bavly6]

ok you are a moron although i do not agree with war. Obama doesn't stand for all the bull that u just stated. What peace ???? The guy is still for sending troops to Afghanistan ?? he stated this himself. He hasn't done anything for peace. Also any idiot can go around saying we need peace, has been done a million times. He only had his office to make him famous. Your also an idiot bush has nothing to do with this. the guy was looking out for his country with a strong offence is all.

[soupjam]

You must be feeling proud with your obscenity! Nevertheless, I will reply, Mr. bavly6, it has every thing to do with Bush, it is a reward to the smart Americans that ended the Bush era, you see Bush has the blood of more than half a million Iraqis on his hands, the lives of more than 5000 young Americans killed and more than 31,000 wounded for nothing. Keep praising Bush.

[audgeyp]

bavly6-if Obama sends troops to Afghanistan, he will be critiziced. If he DOESN'T send more troops in, guess what-he will be criticized. I think the panel gave him this award not for any particular achievement but for his efforts of trying to be able to negotiate w/ the countries in Middle East and for worldwide nuclear disarmament.

[bavly6]

oh then why didn't they give it to Regan or Kennedy the people who during the cold war saved us from WW3 ? What ever happened to th Cuban missile crisis ? all i know is what ever Obama is doing is no where near as the impact that earlier presidents have done to get to peace. He has done nothing and still till now Iran is working on an atomic bomb Korea has the weapons terrorists are still planning hits and have been doing it but the patriot act has caught many of the, and he gets the Nobel.

[audgeyp]

I don't know why they didn't give the award to Reagan or Kennedy.  They would've been very deserving of it, too. The Nobel panel must've had their reasons for awarding the prize to Pres. Obama.

[archivesbc]

audgeyp, they can't give the prize for someone who has passed on.

[audgeyp]

archivesbc-hehe, I know. I was responding to someone who thought that maybe Reagan or Kennedy should have gotten the Peace Prize. Txs.

[MadnessRealm]

People seems to have missed the point. The reasion why Obama received this award was stated by the South African Nobel Peace Laureate, he greatly cooled down the tention between the country even if no actions were taken.

By giving him the award, it's like saying "ok you said all that, now it's time you do it"

[crazymcfobo]

Old!

[PEACEMAKER208]

fuck obama he doesnt deserve this award hes a terible president !!!! AGAIN FUCK YOU OBAMA GO DIE

[justl00king69]

3 reasons why he's a bad president?

Wait, you'd rather have George Bush be president, then.

[ytviscool]

you sir, are why everyone hates Americans.

[QuitePossiblyANinja]

well, the dow is back up to 9000, so thats ONE good thing. and you obviously havent done too much research on his policies and how theyve worked out so far...

[TechKnowlogee]

Very nice comeback QuitePossiblyANinja

[QuitePossiblyANinja]

why thank you

[fpsraab]

What a joke!

[blllueyedblonde]

wat the heck??? why did he win this!!! that is so fucked up!!

[averageguitarheroguy]

as much as i love obama, i'm afraid to say he doesn't deserve it. but hey, maybe it'll encourage him to do something to deserve it? i feel kind of bad for him as well; here nobel prize, 1.5 million dollars for what? oh nothing ... yet.

i always thought the nobel prize was given out in sweden...

[MsJille]

this is disturbing, i mean the US troops are still in Afghanistan or did I miss something???

[xblBridge]

WHY ARE THEY STILL IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND WHY THE FUCK DID HE SAY HE WILL TRY DIPLOMACY IN IRAN IF NOT HE WILL INVADE. what the fuck.

[ThreeBeeps]

obama said it was surprising,its not his fault. it was totally uncalled for.

[ytviscool]

WHY DO U TYPE IN CAPS

and ask bush why your in the middle east.

[mrKreuzfeld]

i hate this, I belive this will weaken the integrity and presige of the prize.

[stringanime]

people say it's an honor, others say it's a symbol, I say, it's an illusion. so it is quite fitting Barack Obama would receive it.

[blllueyedblonde]

even obama says "im suprised and humbeled" he knew he didnt deserveit

[stringanime]

Judging how worldly wicked Barack Obama is, he does deserve the Nobel. It would have been more honest of him to say, "Yes I do deserve the Nobel more-so than any other receipiant who has ever been given this award. And furthermore, I accept this in the name of my God, Barack Obama!" He doesn't earn any honesty points for his hypocracies.

[blllueyedblonde]

you are very right!! good point!

[justl00king69]

Actually, it could be a good thing. It could give him the momentum to make happen the things he wants to do.

Whether it will, or not, remains to be seen.

If this actually aids him in reaching his goals, I think it will benefit both Obama and the Nobel Prize committee.

If it doesn't, yes, the prize will lose much of it's prestige and meaning.

[mrKreuzfeld]

I think he is the first person ever to recive it for something HE HAS NOT DONE.

most other people that have recevied and gained momentum actually had done lot BEFORE they got it. Obama is the first to get the prize for big words and oppinions.

the honor of getting this prize shoud not be diminished in this way. personally I think it has alot to do with thorbjørn jagland (the head of hte nobel comity) becoming the new head of the council of europe.

[Iluvantar9999]

sometime is better just stop and think. rather them do stupidity after stupidity. I 'd like juts to say , he just has stopped the religious approach to the wars in Iran and Afghanistan in a way that any other could.

is working in a reform so important that most people can even measure it.

and probably another reform to education could be part of his legacy.

he is an intelligent men and it gonna be history who has to make the judgment.

[mrKreuzfeld]

but he has not done anything yet.

noone should get the prize for not doing anything, In that case staling shuold get the peaceprize for not fireing any nukes, even tho he could do it.

to stop the relgious approach is good, but not enough, and all the other things you are saying is just thing he is going o do, not things he has done yet.

what I am saying is that he should not be a candidate for it before at least 2011.

[archivesbc]

For a change, I'll join the sceptics and say that this Nobel prize award for Obama was completely uncalled for. Even he knows that.

Then again, the Oslo peace accord had three prize winners and a lasting achievement was never accomplished, so perhaps again, it is an award based on err hope (ahhm) that Obama could carry out some of his more ambitious goals.

[jayfackingpee]

wtf world?

[ragedsparrow]

This is depressing.
