yet here you, and the rest of the conservative cheerleaders, are. whining like there is no tomorrow. so obviously the noble peace prize still carries some weight.

as for obama getting the award, it is a bold move by the comittee. it could be a good thing and it could be a bad thing. depending on how things pan out regarding the middle east, nuclear weapons ban etc etc.

Almost all people I've talked to said "for what?" or "that seems a little premature"

That was a mix of Obama and non Obama voters FWIW

the comittee probably wants to influence obama in a certain way. put some pressure on him to actually push through his agenda.

earlier, the award has been given out too late, rather than too soon. Matti Ahtisaari was given the award three years too late...

He's getting a peace prize for continuing and expanding two wars?

Sorry that you're so uneducated.

"According to 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"

Next time pick up a book

Commander in Chief of an Army at TWO wars wins a Nobel Peace Prize...

war is peace
freedom is slavery
ignorance is strength

**TheStender** · 10-09-2009, 09:28 AM

As much as I don't think he's done that much to deserve it, I am glad the American President received it over someone else who didn't deserve it.

I'd also like to know the other nominees though, there may be someone on there who is working their ass off for peace somewhere who got screwed.

What matters is who had the greatest impact, not who put the most effort. 1 ounce of effort as President of the US is worth 1000 lbs of effort as a layman.

You just post this to provoke reaction, right?

Great...so what is the impact so far from Obama? Besides improving America's image, which doesn't have anything to do with peace. Maybe in a year or two or four he should get it, that remains to be seen.

Glad to see the people who put effort into things don't matter after all though, let's not recognize them. Maybe they should put out a 2nd award for "effort" instead of "impact?"

Listen, I understand that you are and always will be in unwavering blind and slobbering support of obama, but if you're half as smart as you pretend you are you'd understand the award is not justified.

Obama has made amazing improvements in international relations, but even he said he hasn't done enough and is the commander in chief of two wars. I'm not attacking your beloved one, so calm down, I'm merely saying that at this point in time, it doesn't make much sense that he got it.

I'm glad you asked. As we know, favorable relations with other countries are the only way to peace.

He has done a great job at reducing anti-American sentiment, which is the root cause of terrorism.

So because people like America...there will be peace?

Edit: I mean, I could understand that if all of a sudden Iraqi's and Afgani's were like "Oh, we love America now." And fighting stopped. But what does people in Germany and Spain liking the United States have to do with world peace?

we've learned that Obama's talk is very cheap.

What makes me LOL at all of this is Obama and people like Yassar Arafat got this award but Mahatma Ghandi was passed over 5 TIMES!

EDIT:LOL... Arafat gets the Nobel Peace Prize but Bush gets called Hitler.
...Hitler was nominated for the prize, ya know? Fun fact

President Bush was nominated in 2002

They don't think its wrong when they do it.

In fact they call you unamerican when they do it and you disagree with them.

Yes, I'm sure all of the innocent people he has killed will be water under the bridge since he's willing to bow before Saudi oil barons.

Ok?

Where in my statement did I say anything for or against the war? I pretty clearly stated it doesn't make sense to get a peace prize while carrying on two wars. What does that have to do with supporting them or not?

Reading comprehension, use it.

I agree he's improved our standing significantly in the eyes of many countries, but how do you think Israel plays in? Our support of it is one of the largest causes of anti-American terroism mentality

Yes, exactly. America needs to distance itself from Israel, I don't see why we should support oppression.

You're behind the times on that news bro.

Snubbing the US's traditional allies and appeasing nations ruled by tyrants doesn't sound like a most awesome foreign policy to me.

A sound foreign policy would be pulling US troops from all foreign soil, disbanding NATO, moving the UN to I really don't give a sh!t, and no more foreign aid.

Since European nations are such awesome places to live because of their "free" healthcare, let's see how that works out when they have to actually have a defense budget.
