how the hell did obama won nobel peace prize

**Deuce** · 10-09-09, 08:27 AM

The same way Al Gore did, for no reason at all.

**Dark Horse** · 10-09-09, 08:32 AM

Good cop, bad cop is exactly how that works. The bad cop (Bush) is hated, and when he leaves the kind cop is embraced, even though he stands for the same.

In that sense Obama is more dangerous than Bush. Everybody -outside of the US- knew that Bush was an idiot. But now there is somebody that inspires trust, even though he represents the same (corporate fascism).

The reason why he got it because he is so much better than Bush was it is not funny. He at least has a brain that Bush did not have.

Don't stop believin!

Excellent analysis, perfectly put.

I am as liberal as it gets but this is ridiculous

**ZXCVBNM** · 10-09-09, 09:51 AM

No doubt some Obama-haters in this thread are racists/crazy people/nazis but yes it is a bit ridiculous. When someone told me the news I thought they were lying. Obama has done absolutely nothing so far to merit that kind of prize.

But if it was just for "waking up the public and veering them toward actual liberalism" which most of the world is actually a part of and why the US has been so damn backwards the last 8 years, then I'll accept that.

**MilfDriller** · 10-09-09, 10:22 AM

what a fvcking joke

the US is going to spiral out of control. you have an inmate running the asylum

first he gets elected on nothing and now he gets this on absolutely nothing. if you're a clueless liberal and you can't see this... you are an absolute idiot... but I guess that's the majority of the population

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 10:32 AM

It's outrageous that GW BUSH didn't win the Nobel Destroyer Of Peace Prize. He would have been the 1st ever, but that didn't happen. I'm still bitter & angry over that.

Sincerely,
A Ron Paul Supporter.

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 10:37 AM

For those of us who actually read the news:

The Nobel committee recognized Obama's efforts to solve complex global problems including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee said it honored Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

Glenn Beck will interpret this to his choir as: Obama's a muslim, terrorist, nazi, socialist, racist & therefore he won. Then his baby parrots will come to this thread to regurgitate what momma bird regurgitated to them. It's recycled garbage basically.

**MilfDriller** · 10-09-09, 10:39 AM

it may be that the world will end in 2012. I might buy into that now.

anybody ever seen that poster that says, 'Rome 2,000 years ago, Pink Pony Nation today'....

and it shows a picture of an incredible civilization from 2,000 years ago on the left and then a picture of a mud hut on the right

that right there says it all. and now we bring it to the US of A. laughing my mudda fvcking ass off

**MilfDriller** · 10-09-09, 10:42 AM

just read something that said this is an 'affirmative action' deliverance of the prize

lol, so true

**MilfDriller** · 10-09-09, 10:47 AM

receiving this award is actually an insult to black people. If I won this award and I were black, I would be highly offended and return it.

It's basically saying you've done nothing, aren't capable, but let's move you to the front of the line.. but wait, that's kind of like Obama's outline, no?

this really is some funny shit. might as well have given the award of Greatest Basketball Teammate in the History of the Universe to Allen Iverson or Milton Bradley (even tho he plays baseball .... [same liberal logic])

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 11:49 AM

Wow its sad how ignorant people really are. Whether you like Obama or not he's still the president of your country and if you truly love your country people should look past their personal feeling and be happy for guy! Good or bad if you don't like the way America operates then maybe... just maybe .... you should move to another country. Believe me you won't be missed.

Shafted, with zero respect due to you (instead of all due respect), you are an absolute moron.

Instead of me giving you pts... I feel that YOU should give me pts b/c I had to read your stupidity. Give me 5 pts right now and I'll imagine I never read your idiocy. Yes, give me 5 pts right now and I'll then turn around and give them to the next post in this thread to someone with a brain in their head.

**jon101** · 10-09-09, 12:19 PM

When the blacks were given the same choice to move back to Liberia and be free very few accepted.
They chose to multiply like rabbits and suck welfare and food stamps down like Obamas Aunt in public housing. He couldn't even make peace with his own mother and father, how is he supposed to do it for the rest of us? What he doesn't tell ya is only the white grandparents had the courage to raise him, and everyone else abandoned him (87% of black dads are no where in sight, and don't pay their child support)

**wtf** · 10-09-09, 12:38 PM

nobel prize lost a little more significance today

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 12:42 PM

GOP & Taliban united to bash Obama Nobel Award

GOP is the party of HATE and America bashing

a little? Has a much meaning as "The Dundies" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dundies )

Al Gore won it 2 years ago

which completely diminishes any credibility.

A non story

**yisman** · 10-09-09, 02:19 PM

By the way, nominations were due at the beginning of February. So he was nominated ten days into his presidency. For what? For being a liberal that got elected. The international world eats it up.

Jimmy Carter
Yasser Arafat
Al Gore
Barack Obama

By the way, here's the woman Al Gore beat out for the NPP.

She saved thousands of children from the Nazis and was severely tortured because of it. But hey, Gore made a movie. He must deserve it.

**capitalist pig** · 10-09-09, 02:33 PM

I just glanced at about 20 world wide (non usa) papers headlines on this, and not one country is supporting the decision to give it to him.Ya got to love the irony here,this is sparking worldwide hate towards Obama, from the same countries/people who hated Bush.

later

Set personal politics aside. All this does (and Gore winning) is belittles the PEACE prize and the past real deserving winners. The prize is a joke now, the Nobel committee should be ashamed of themselves.

Cut Jimmy Carter a break. Arguably, one of the CRAPPIEST Presidents of all time, but he's done more humanitarian work, AFTER OFFICE, than all the other former Presidents combined. He goes all over the world to help people who need it most.

There's a "worm disease" in Africa that is 99% eradicated because of his effort. It's pretty disgusting. If people drink stagnant water and if the water contains this larvae, the larvae grows in their body and gets about 3 feet long. It goes back out through your skin, slowly and painfully and back into the water system releasing thousands of more eggs. All people needed to do was treat the water they drank. Because of Carter's work, they went from having 3.5 million cases of this in 1986 to 5,000 cases today.

This is just one humanitarian thing he's accomplished. He deserves the award.

Well said Blue. His humanitarian work earned him that award.

We need to separate his poor presidency.

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 09:11 PM

I'm proud of our country for having another Nobel Winning President. Whether it be a Democrat or Republican, my patriotism is indivisable. This is a very prestigious award with a valuable prize of 1.4 million and our kind & gentler president is donating the whole amount to charity. God bless his kindred spirit. Meanwhile, Republicans are blowing a gasket. Awesome!

**wtf** · 10-09-09, 09:30 PM

ok shafted, i will play along

he was nominated ten days into his presidency

please detail what he has done to warrant this award

**Shafted69** · 10-09-09, 09:41 PM

Actually he got a few countries to cut back on the amount of nuclear submarines full of nuclear bombs aimed at the human race. Stopped yet another missle defense system costing billions of dollars and in addition he has started repairing the damage that America has done to our reputation around the world. Even the Vatican appreciates the Nobel Prize awarded to our president for this same reasons.

Vatican appreciates Obama receiving Nobel Peace Prize

http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=17351

The Vatican offered its appreciation today for President Barack Obama’s work for peace on the international level, following the announcement that the president the winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

He gets my vote and I always have been a strong Republican until the party turned into a party of hate and greed. For the past 8 years there has been more despair in our country then any other time in history. We wouldn't be at war with half the world if we would mind our own business and let them mind theirs. No hope, no public togetherness and no direction, but that is starting to change. I believe a heck of a lot of other people feel that way also. Don't get me wrong. Somebody ever attacks our country, we should turn their country into glass, plain and simple. IMO

Become the first black president in a country that only 20% of the people are black by beating a white guy in the polls who was a war hero and had a white soccer mom partner.

Cool of him to not keep the money though, he ain't really that rich to give away over a milly.

I don't know. I wouldn't know what is being a poor black person in a country where 80% of people are white and run for president and beat the candidate who is a billionaire and white.

**CashMoney** · 10-09-09, 10:02 PM

WTF!!!!!!!

The prize no longer has meaning...............
