No need to lighten it up.

It is neither here nor there for me.

Back to the OP.

There really isn't a need to bash Obama for the decision of the Nobel committee.

It is actually a good thing that they think so much of our president.

They must believe in him.


I agree. I think it's good for our country too.

I don't see how this committee could possibly know a person when only 10 days in office. this was a "push to do better" type award...not on his actions or merit

They could tell what his foreign plans were before the election. He did plenty of speeches. They haven't seen that in quite awhile.

but those are campaign promises which don't always hold up.....lo at past presidents as well. had he been in office longer and did something to earn it...I'd be happy. this was nothing more than a push in the right direct type award. it wasn't based on anything he did

give an achievement award for what someone says they want to do in the future isn't the same as giving an award for what is actually done

I don't think he earned it...sorry but that's how I feel

10 days isn't long enough to do good or bad

The committee watched this video and decided that Obama was the only choice. If you pay attention to all the things that are implied, there could simply be no other choice. It is also good to use a little dose of history to place the present and future in perspective.

Obama could cure cancer and right wingers will find a way to complain.
in an earlier post i saw a comment that he wasn't qualified to be president....umm Palin isn't qualified to run a PTA much less the Presidency but that's not the point....noone has experience to be president. retard bush had none but conservatives seem to think he's Jesus reincarnated.


Funny, I have to ask you though...why is it that when obama gets attacked for his obvious lack of experience, people immediately bring up Palin's experience? I mean was she running for President or the V.P slot.
Just wanted to ask how can you compare the 2...

what


Funny, the same exact thing happens when Palin gets attacked for her lack of experience. Just the nature of the beast. Some don't like Obama, other's don't like Palin. Mentioning Palin in the same sentence as President gives me the shills but probably not the same kind of shills it might give someone else.

It had nothing to do with 10 days in my opinion.

According to the committee he did do something to deserve it. I also think he did as well even if it was only to change the damn atmosphere after the long 8 years of anxiety for so many people under bush. Here in this country and elsewhere..

Even my friends that voted for Bush noticed the difference in tone and atmosphere with Obama, even if they still would not have voted for him.

We don't know what was on the mind of the committee ultimately, not you, not me. But we do know he absolutely had an affect on the committee. Even if it was a manipulative move, they would still have very good reason to do so, because they see in him a man that could very well keep the world from rushing into more war.

So it was something he said or did in a way that impressed the committee or just something they instinctively feel about the guy. Something I feel myself about him..

the voting ended after only 10 days in office. I'm not saying he wouldn't deserve it in the future...I'm saying 10 days isn't enough to have done any thing

I think they gave Obama the Peace Prize as a reward for not being George Bush

according to the Norwegian Nobel Comittee this is what they had to say:


The chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, explaining the decision to honor Obama, told skeptical journalists this morning: "We hope this can contribute a little bit to enhance what he is trying to do." When former President Jimmy Carter was given the prize in 2002, the Nobel judges readily agreed that the award was intended to be a "kick in the leg" to the Bush administration, which was then gearing up for war in Iraq.


therefore isn't wasn't anything BHO did. Like I said...I'm not saying he wouldn't deserve it later on on merit or actions...but not after only 10 days in office for the reasons they gave

You idea of doing something is just different than mine. They had plenty of time to get a good idea where the guy was coming from long before that.

yeppers. I disagree that anyone...BHO or otherwise did anything in 10 days. and it should be based on what someone says they will do in the future....but that's my opinion ohwell

Some will not admit this, and I even gonna get chased for my next comment but I dont' care.

If you take a step outside USA and look at what happened ...the history between 2000-2008 rolls down front of your eyes and you are a bystander, you see a serious brainwashing going on in the USA.
USA was attacked, and was London and Madrid (Spain), let's not forget that.
Today the Americans are not only afraid of anyone who looks slightly Middle Eastern or having a Muslim religion, but now getting trained to hate each other, based on nothing else but propaganda.
Bush' only credit (and the world was standing beside him that time) is the good handling of the attack after and the follow up, but his Iraq war agenda discredited him completely, because the war was based on a lie.
If he should have stayed the course in Afghanistan, it is possible that today those soldiers would have been long back home.
