Nobel Prize goes to Obama...

Are you really that outraged Lyle? if it had been some random humanitarian from somewhere you'd never heard of you wouldn't even be questioning whether that person was "worthy"

I'm surprised you care enough about what 5 Norsemen think to get outraged about it.

....so you don't think it's odd that the President of a country that is AT WAR received the Nobel PEACE Prize

oh for fuck's sake

[El Kabong]

It's a PEACE Prize OumaFan...we're at War those are opposites, they are mutually exclusive, one cannot be at war AND at peace at the same time.


Yes it's because it's OBAMA that I am pissed off, if it was Michael Moore I would still be pissed off, if it was Ann Coulter I'd be pissed off, if it was Bill Maher I'd be pissed off....I'm still angry Al Gore and Jimmy Carter got one!!!

[OumaFan]

I don't think he should get it, really who does think that, but he inherited both wars, along with all the other fuck ups, from your boy. At least we're theoretically (partially) moving out of Iraq. With Afghanistan, meh, he's probably fucked, he should probably just get out but he feels like he can't.

Al Gore, blah, blah, blah.

[El Kabong]

He called Afghanistan and I QUOTE "Afghanistan is a war of necessity"

...and I don't think sitting down for face to face talks with Bad guys really does much to promote peace.

A real Nobel Prize winner

The long and short of it is - 5 guys think he deserves an award...

Don't really care what they think, there's what? 8 billion people in the world and every single one has their own opinions on stuff so I'm not going to get upset over 5 people.

He's as much as said he's done nothing to deserve one yet and he's embarrassed by it:

US President Barack Obama 'Surprised' To Be Awarded Nobel Peace Prize For 2009 | World News | Sky News

Yeah, they've basically gave it to him for being elected... the reason a black man is in office is because of what 1000s of people have done during history to create the racial equality in America for that to happen... Obama is a result of that rather than a cause so yeah, he doesn't deserve a nobel just for being elected.

But again, It's not worth getting upset over the opinions of 5 nords.

Another thing, I've heard lots of people saying he doesn't deserve a nobel prize, but little to few people actually saying who deserved one this year. I've no doubt that there are people who did more than Obama, but it would be constructive to talk about them, wouldn't it?

I don't think the award is to impress anyone living today.

It's for our great, great, great grandchildren. They will know as much about Obama as most of us today know about Washington or Lincoln or any other president.

I really don't care who they vote for the Nobel Peace Prize, seriously it's a non-issue. If it was someone besides Obama you wouldn't even notice. Even if it was a leader of a country at war.
