What precisely did Obama do 11 days into his Presidency which warranted his nomination?

Facts please.

If you don't understand or can't quite grasp the actual rationale for his getting the award, it can only be because you don't WANT to or are too small minded to.

His very election brought a measure of reasonableness and sanity back to the Presidency of the most powerful nation on earth after eight long years of lies, duplicity and abysmally lethal ignorance.

Perknose, everything you say is true, but I still believe that Obama has done little to deserve the prize.

I think Obama's popularity on the world stage dwarfs his popularity in the states.

Yep - due to his election I and many other Europeans no longer consider America to be a threat, or at least the feeling is greatly reduced. That has to be a good thing for world peace.

Was Bush planning an invasion of France or Britain that I missed?

No but they thought he was an impulsive warmongering douchebag...

Truth be told Cheney made all the decisions, he was the "Decider" so to speak. So claiming that Bush was impulsive isn't very fair to Bush.

So what are you asking for, plenty have said, myself included that he didn't deserve it.

So if he didn't deserve it why do we have to come up with explanations for you?

Nice straw man, cripes I'm glad it's Friday.

True but that knowledge came out after he left office and the rest of the world thought Bush was calling the shots.

Little tidbits have been leaking out that definitely are showing that Cheney was Bush's psychotic partner.

Respectable reply to the situation and I think helps put the award into better perspective when you consider his take on it.

"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."

but shouldn't we wait to see what the results of his diplomacy are before celebrating it? and how much of that "leading the world's population" was he really doing 11 days into his presidency?

Bush may have been a brainless puppet, or he may have been a clever neocon strategist pretending to be brainless, but it hardly matters. It was the attitude of the whole administration that worried me. And no, I don't think they would have actually invaded us, but I do think they could have completely screwed things up for us without feeling the least bit bad about it... imagine if they took their policies to the logical conclusion and we all ended up at war with Pakistan...

 

[OCGuy]

Wow, what a joke. Giving it to someone in hopes they push agenda X is rediculous.

Yeah and what kills me is the right is bashing Obama on Pakistan when he has to clean up Bush's sloppy seconds...

I don't agree with the award, but in the end it isn't Obama's fault he got it. If anything he is now put in an awkward spot. There is no defining moment for receiving this award for him, at least Bill Clinton had the Oslo Accords. Maybe you could use the White Cop and Black Professor having a beer, but i don't think it is on the same level.

The bigger issue, which i think will personally bother him. He now has to do something significant to warrant the award. If he doesn't live up to that, will it be a failure of his presidency?


Sum up:

Not his fault, the Nobel prize people were foolish, and good luck to ya Obama.

 

[spidey07]

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?

LMAS - The nobel organization has lost all respect.

 

[TheSkinsFan]

I just held a ceremony and awarded myself and every single one of my colleagues a Nobel Peace Prize. None of us are Bush, and each of us correctly used the words "hope" and "change" in a sentence when asked to do so. But, on top of those amazing achievements, three of my colleagues are black -- I know, crazy right? -- so I gave each of them two Nobel Peace Prizes.

Now, where do we go to pick up our big checks?

The UN sees this time as an opportunity to exert more power over a very weak president. So give him the nobel peace prize to say they agree with his apology tours so that he keeps it up. They WANT him to continue destroying this nation.

-edit-
Pretty much confirms it. Obama calls winning this award "a call to action". Basically a call to action to do the bidding of other nations at our own demise. US first Mr. President. You are president of this country, act like it instead of your ego fueled leader of the global "community".

I was unaware that the U.N. awarded any of the Nobel Prizes...

It doesn't. But his work with the UN was cited as one of the reasons the committee awarded it to him.

So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far. He is still at an early stage.

-former Polish President Lech Walesa, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983, said Friday

He really is Jimmy Carter 2.0.

The Euro's are just saying, hey we're glad the US isn't conducting foreign policy like the neighborhood bully, thanks for not being Bush.

Edit - Though I do enjoy the vapid, frothy lamentations from you nutters, keep it comin'!

So what are you calling the people on here (of which there are a fair number) who like Obama, but still are saying he didn't deserve it?

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Whelp Perk, I've gotten a few awards and prizes too. Not a Peace prize, but curiously enough it was that I did something to earn it. Even when I was considered it was because of my record.

Obama has the prize, but he did nothing to merit even having the opportunity. My standards are higher than some. Always have been.

As I sit here, in Iraq, pondering just how much the world has changed since January 2009...

Over 100k U.S. troops still fighting in Iraq? Check.
Gitmo still open? Check.
Indefinite detention still happening? Check.
More troops likely headed to Afghanistan and the Taliban threat getting worse every day? Check.
Drugs still the number one export in Afghanistan? Check.
Palestine and Israel still fighting? Check.
Somalia still in turmoil? Check.
Al Qa'ida and friends still a threat throughout most of the world? 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.
Drugwars still happening everywhere? 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!

He ended the wars? Really, there are no wars in the middle east, since when?
