Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Cancel 2018. 3]

True, I sould have said, unseat those who supported Bush's policies.

he did not do that....are you telling me he ran everyone's campaigns? that hillary didn't generate the same votes he did among dems and that he only got the nod because of the powers that be in the party....

it was anyone but bush....his main platform was that mccain is the same as bush....

i cannot believe you guys feel that the american voters giving him enough votes so that the ELECTORAL COLLEGE votes him into office is worthy of the nobel prize....

you don't realize that this is the ONLY accomplishment you've mentioned.....it makes a complete mockery of the nobel prize and this will come back and haunt obama and the prize...it just shows that he is treated like the messiah

I didn't say that. You're putting words in my mouth. However, if someone other than BHO had organized and lead a political coalition that replaced the dangerous far right neocon coalition in power, then wouldn't they too be worthy of consideration of a Nobel Peace Prize?

He was smart enough to defeat the inept Hillary and the cast of bafoons on the right.

hell, if the only qualification is removing the neocons, then half of american voters deserve that award.

Then you should start calling for impeachment of the Hugo Obama...

President Obama has set a deadline to get out of Iraq. He has begun negotiations with North Korea and Iraq, as he said he would do. He has been taken to task by Dick Cheney for all of these things.!

well didn't he say he accepted on behalf of non nazi lovers

 

[Jarod]

Well, I can only base it by the reaction here and the "Obama Wins" thread, but yeah. So far all I've heard, even in person here at work, are jokes about him and Chuck Norris winning things, and other simply pointing out that he really should accomplish something before he gets that nomination, let alone the prize.

And he did accomplish a LOT prior to his inaguration....

lmao....what has he done differently than bush....? in iraq, afghanistan, the war on terror, pakistan....what...oh wait....one thing different, he added MORE troops to afghanistan and under his watch afghanistan had the most US soldier deaths since the war started.....what an accomplishment, how nobel and peaceful....

You have yet to read my posts as to what I belive he did to deserve the Nobel.

He was the leader of a movement in this nation to change our murderous forign policy by removing a group of leaders who supported that policy. Sure Obama did not do it alone, it was a movement within the USA, but if anyone can be seen as the figurehead of that movement it is President Obama!

Lets see, He didn't invade 2 countries and kill hundreds of thousands of muslims in the name of revenge. He did promise to leave Iraq by a said time which I believe he will be strong armed/bought out of.
As far as leaving Vietnam ahh Afghanistan who the fuck knows other than he's appeasing the chickenhawk fence sitters????

You have to earn that one, the prize is REWARDED! Don't you guys get the distinction, sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!

A guy dies, leaves money tells people to AWARD it to people they believe deserving!

This is just too stupid that all of you are getting worked up because he doesn't deserve it!

I didn't realize the Nobel Prize was considered so important! Sheesh!

Are you suggesting that the Nobel Peace Prize is worthless?

 

[Damocles]

And he did accomplish a LOT prior to his inaguration....

Yeah, he won an election against Fogeyman during the perfect storm in the direction of his party. You and I both know he has not done anything.

Even the people who gave the award said it was because of "hope"... "hope" is not an accomplishment.

Are you suggesting that the Nobel Peace Prize is worthless?

Earlier somebody on her side presented the argument that the "rest of the world takes it far more seriously than Americans"...

But then I posted another joke and forgot who it was.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

He hasn't stopped the wars and it pisses me off, but it use to be that we as a nation would be happy for international accolades laid on our leaders, now we sit and bicker over the most insignificant fucking things!

Fuck all of you that can't be happy for him over a stupid monetary reward! Whether he deserves it or not!

And of course, the bickering "over the most insignificant fucking things" only started, AFTER Obama won.
Before that day, everything was amiable?

 

[Mott the Hoople]

LMAO.....bush was constitutionally unqualified to run for a 3rd term....good lord, you blind followers are now giving obama the credit for the 22nd amendment.....lol

and so far....obama is doing what mccain said he would do with the wars....so in reality, obama has done absolutely nothing

You're being rather glib about the party that Bush lead and which was still in control of the administration and would have remained so had McCain been re-elected.

 

[Mott the Hoople]

Maybe your partisan blinders cannot make you see that simply winning an election is not worthy of a Peace Prize and that actual accomplishments would buttress and give actual weight to the award rather than diminishing it even further.

Although, I do think it is funny how people can spin anything they really want into their minds with little effort.

Maybe, except I'm not a partisan. The fact that I voted for Obama doesn't neccessarily make me a partisan, so that's a strawman.

 

[USFREEDOM911]

The only people getting 'worked up' and 'angry' are those Obama followers who think he somehow deserves this award and are thus in a frenzy trying to figure out how to defend him. Which is funny considering Obama stated this morning that he too doesn't think he deserves this.

I disagree.
I'm not sure that's the reason they're upset.
It looks like they're upset, because they finally see that all their beliefs in "hope and change" are truly nothing more then "rope and chains".
The armor has begun to crack.

i noticed you completely ignored the last sentence.....i wonder why....

and bush and mccain thought differently on many issues...obama is following what bush did on many, many issues....iraq, afghanistan, save for adding more troops....pakistan, FISA, war on terror.....but oh no.....obama deserves a peace prize

 

[Mott the Hoople]

amazing how many of the Obama apologists have immediately clung tightly to your point.

But here is a little tidbit.... Bush was gone... regardless of whether Obama won.

The Reps were out of power in Congress in 2006.

So your point has now diminished back to nothing... good try though... at least it was a valid attempt to justify this farce.

Main point.... when Obama himself said he didn't deserve it... perhaps his worshippers should listen to their dear leader?

Maybe, I also believe the award is premature. Giving people hope, does seem rather spurious grounds for awarding the prize. Like I said, I think this is more a statement of how the world feared and loathed Bush then it has anything to do with Obama's accomplishments or lack there of.
