    9 months into office and it is way too soon for this sort of praise without any solid results. Saying that, it's also too soon to be taking the shots from the right he has had.

    I think he and Bernanke prevented the next Great Depression thus preventing all-out choas and destruction ergo, he deserves the Peace Prize.

    you seriously cant believe he deserves this. and if you do tell me what hes done to deserve it.[/quote]

    ha ha ha...ker-plow...!!! as predicted ...heads are exploding... :lol:

    as for telling you anything...all I can say is the folks who hand out this award thought he deserved it...that's good enough for me...[/quote]

    if thats your reasoning then youre a fool.

    my head isnt exploding... tis just not comprehending the reasoning behind such a move.[/quote]

    i can tell you the reason, politics as usual.

    hmm well ... i truly believe the peace prize is a universal recognition of a universal peace, or concrete steps towards that peace. ive not seen that from obama. like all politicians he talks but thats about it.

    american are so myopic at times... my own government took great steps that were successful to ensure our economy didnt fall into the great wall street abyss... so wheres their peace prize????

    Thoughts?

    :shock: My immediate reaction was WTF for?!? I've known for about 15 - 20 minutes now and I'm still asking myself the same question. I like Obama and have faith that he may do some good things down the road but the fact remains his country is still occupying two other nations.

    i'm with you there. he's certainly leading this country in a better direction than the last administration, but what has he actually DONE to merit a nobel peace prize? anyone?

    So........he's nominated just a few weeks into his presidency. So his nomination was based on rhetoric and promises. 9 months in, he hasn't delivered on any of his promises, not a single one. That would be like me saying, I'm going to win the NY City Marathon, and being awarded the prize money a 1/4 mile into the race. If nothing else, this along with some of the past winners, show exactly how worthless this stupid award really is.

    i just saw snippets on this on CNN when i first got into work. i think the 2004? NPPW was talking about obama and all he has done, is doing, that is for the good of us all. i really didn't listen to much, i had to get to my cube to work(aka post here :P) but i thought, hmmmmm...i just don't get it. :? i agree, too much too soon! hell, it's like he was chosen simply b/c most of the world hated bush(i agree with that) and are simply to see and hear an intelligent guy in the white house with ideas. definitely seems a bit 'much' since not much has been put into practice yet. would've been better a fe years from now.....
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    if our ecomony collapses one can easily argue that the world economy collapses...imagine a worldwide Great Depression?

    don't they give out nobel prizes for science and economics and literature too? if it's about his efforts to avoid a total worldwide depression... it'd think a nobel prize for economics makes sense. your argument is totally fucking absurd. that's like saying kevin bacon deserves an oscar because you can connect him to the real oscar winner in less than 2 moves. be real.

    well tell me how far does your economy need to collapse??

    i do understand the worlds economy is tied to americas.much to my chagrin i accept this. bullshit though it might be(not in the sense that its untrue but that its a given) i am not a fan of economic globalism.

    you know i heard on the news todat that detroit has something like 30% unemployment. dont know if thats true or not but it frightened me just a little. my own city/state unemployment rate is sitting at 5 %

    nope, I don't mind being called out...you're just being a dick about it...sorry I don't bow down your whining bitchy moaning and groaning...

    I see that you're not bitching about other winners because you're being a simpleton...you can only focus on one thing at a time...funny how you accept the awards being given to others yet cry like baby when it's given to Obama...

    seriously, what are you so upset about...? I think some just bitch to bitch...

    this is the biggest crock of bullshit since the reason behind the iraqi invasion.


    has he got israel to retreat to its pre 1967 borders???? what has he done for peace in afghanistan?? is iraq still occupied?? has he leant on the burmese military junta about releasing aung san suu kyi??? has he reached a hand out to havana and lifted the embargo thats crippled cuba for all these myopic years?????? what exactly has he done???


    no, he hasn't done jack shit about Israel's perpetual theft of land except a few empty words and suggestions as he continues to give them aid and weapons....but hey, Israel has said they will *consider* a *temporary halt* on expansion for peace talks

    he didn't even say anything when Israel kidnapped the people on that boat trying to bring humanitarian supplies to Gaza while the governments of the others demanded their release

    hmm maybe the obama wins nobel pece prize title screwed with me... but i thought thats what this thread was about?? why you bringing other shit into it?? where the fuck have i accepted others' awards?? and who the fuck has brought these other awards up??

    i couldnt give a rats arse if you bowed down to me or not. in fact if you did itd be the mistake of your life. so please dont peacock in front me cause i dont respond well to fools. youre upset im ragging on your boy obama. fine have the balls to come out and say so. this thread is for discussing ones opinion on the awarding of a nobel peace prize to obama. and thats what my comments reflect. you cant handle that then go play in the sandbox with the other children.

    stating my opinion the obama is undeserving of this award isnt whining or whinging or even bitching .. tis just my opinion. and as far as i can see there is nothing to back up his being awarded this honour.
