One I actually share, though I think McCain would have had to of given them more concessions then he would have liked to. I often speculate where this country would be if McCain had won the nomination in 2000 and he had been president after the 9-11 attacks. Would he have fucked up as badly as Bush? Would he have been as inept as Bush and thus created an environment that made an Obama possible? Siggggghhhh we'll never know the answer to that one.

If Bush had done ANYTHING for peace I would have jumped up and down and been overjoyed! I would have been happy if Bush had won, but he didn't even get nominated, did he and he didn't do anything to advance peace, did he!
This is a pat on the back by the international community saying American is headed in the right direction, at least this is how I perceive it!
I am damn happy that they don't see us all as war mongers! I see it as hope that we are no longer the international bad guys!
But BAC that is just me, always trying to find the silver lining and I don't agree with you on this, but I still love you and Mott!

The peace prize is naturally the most political out of the nobel prizes, but I honestly think they've gone too far this time.

The best that can be said about Obama winning this award under these circumstances is this, the Nobel committee is making a political statement. We didn't like the last guy. And this is not what the Nobel is for. The politicizing of the Nobel Prize does nothing but detract from the significance of the award. The committee's decision to honor Al Gore in 2007 rather than Irene Sendler was the beginning of the end to the award's meaning and relevance, today's announcement simply completes the journey. For anyone to defend the President's winning this award for any reason other than his accomplishments is asinine. But, because there are no accomplishments worthy of a Nobel under Obama's belt, you have no choice. Much like the Nobel committee, you do nothing but demean the prize and it's original intent.
According to Alfred Nobel's will, the Peace Prize should be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."
I'm not sure that the speeches our President has given over the last nine months are worthy of the award, but I suppose that they technically qualify him to be in the running. Except for one thing: He was nominated during his first two weeks in office, no one had any way of knowing what he would be saying over the coming months!
Even President Obama says he is undeserving of the award. Sadly, however, his hubris will not allow him to do the right thing and refuse the award. That in and of itself is a gross embarrassment.
Is it a great honor to recieve the Nobel Peace Prize? It used to be. When the recipient had actually accomplished something.
Nowadays, I'm not so sure.
Anyone who believes that our President has done anything worthy of this once great honor, well, you're sadly mistaken.
In the end, all I can say is, congratulations Mr. President. Now maybe you can make a decision about your war in Afghanistan.

Another one I usually agree with, but don't this time, see it happens, but I still love ya!
Think we should be happy about this, and so what if the Nobel Prize is meaningless? It never held any real true meaning for me, it is just a gift! One million dollars and he didn't want it, he didn't compete, but the poor man is going to take hell over this, just another thing that he has to defend, it is shameful!

Irene Sendler was not a serious contender for the Nobel peace prize. She's just the only other nominee who got publicized - all of the other many nominees are locked away in a vault for 50 years. Irene Sendler's nomination was not supposed to get released.
