Obama Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

[cubeless]

y'all need to get a grip... all you have to do to 'deserve' a nobel is not die before they award it... they are awards given by a group of swells based on whatever criteria the givers want to choose when they give them out... he can do a sally field when they hand him the award...

the frustrating thing will be if this really does change his thinking at all, but i don't think it will...

i figure that 'position self for npp' was on his bucket list... but that doesn't even make him any different than any other politico... and now it's another thing he doesn't need to worry about - they don't take them back...

Obama does nothing and gets a nobel prize and a man like Ghandi doesn't receive one?

Yep, I was right.

""His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population.""

Proves that they gave him the award so he would go along with world rule instead of what he should be doing is doing what is best for USA.

I take it you think the right has all the answers for America?

lmfao

lmfao, your stupid pathetic ass actually got that assumption from what spidey said.

I know the right is INSANELY jealous of him which would put a smile on my face and a frown on yours..

So Obama *is* the world leader? Did I miss the memo?

 

[Patranus]

Mahatma Gandhi, the iconic leader of the Indian independence movement and a symbol of nonviolence, never won the Nobel, though he was nominated five times.

Is this a joke? WTF did he do in 8 months?

 

[MrMatt]

"President Obama today joined an elite group of U.S. presidents when he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Unlike his predecessors, Obama was chosen not for substantive accomplishments, but for inspiring "hope" at the start of his term"

So basically blow a bunch of smoke and you can get a nobel peace prize now?

Yeah, they seem to have lost awareness of the old saying "Actions speak louder than words."

Indeed they do. Obama's actions include actively reaching out to the other countries of the world to embrace diplomacy and collaboration. His actions include immediately and decisively dispelling the adversarial environment fostered by the Cheney/Bush reign. His actions include NOT starting any new wars, not unilaterally invading other countries on imaginary evidence, not issuing one pugnacious ultimatum after another. As the leader of the only remaining superpower, he replaced a shoot-first schoolyard bully with someone who's thoughtful, articulate, and actually willing to work with the world. In short, Obama's changed the tone across the globe, from adversarial and dictatorial to cooperative. That may not seem like much to the sore losers in the Fox News crowd. To the rest of the world, however, it's obviously quite a step forward.

I have mixed feelings about Obama's domestic performance, but he's made tremendous progress in repairing international relations. Congratulations, President Obama. You make America proud.

Do you and Lemon Law take turns sucking O-blah blah's dick or do you let Michelle have a turn every once and a while?

It seems the Nobel committee bought into the same "hope" bullshit that all the retards in this country bought into when they voted for Obama. He's done nothing to deserve this award. Nothing. Those of you trying to make a case for it are nothing more than knob polishing retards.

Over 100k U.S. troops in Iraq? Check.
Gitmo still open? Check.
Indefinite detention? Check.
More troops likely headed to Afghanistan and the Taliban threat getting worse every day? Check.
Palestine and Israel still fighting? Check.
Somalia still in turmoil? Check.
Most of Africa still impoverished, dying of AIDS, and/or fighting? Check.
Global economy still in recession? Check.
Healthcare still jacked-up in the U.S.? Check.
Gays still banned from serving in the world's best military? Check.
Human rights violations occurring almost daily in China? Check. Saudi Arabia? Check Check. 50 other nations? Check Check Check.
Iran still working on nuclear technologies? Check.
North Korea and South Korea still technically at war? Check.
North Korea testing nuclear weapons? Check.
Pointless embargo on Cuba? Check...
...
...
All of that may be true; but, I did get a great deal on a Toyota through the CFC program! THANKS OBAMA!

Hey, someone give that man a prize!

Whaaaaaa. It's almost comical that your is directed towards anyone other than Bush. Almost.

No he's comparing Obama to Gandhi. Obama hasn't done a fucking thing in 9 months, let alone the first two weeks of his presidency. He didn't win it for actions, but for 'inspiring hope'. wtf? No he doesn't. He's a huckster moron who's shown he has no clue how to stand up to adversity or even his own party.

is "not Bush" really the qualification they should be using to award the Nobel Peace Prize when even someone who did as much for peace as Gandhi wasn't deemed worthy enough of the prize?

I absolutely despise George W. Bush, which is why I "voted for change."

I'm still waiting -- we all are -- to witness said change, which is what makes this NPP award so fucking ridiculous.

How is this good for America? The rest of the world already thinks we get a free pass on most things. This only serves to stoke their envy. This is too funny to be real.

Has CNN factchecked this yet? Hahahahahahahahaaha
