I honestly thigh yahoo was engaging in a conspiracy to pull just MY leg...alas no.
Please read the article. It cites that he became president only two weeks before the nomination deadline, but this year, the award went to what the "voters" believed will be his future accomplishments....by yes....reducing nuclear proliferation, playing well with others, and bringing a spirit of hope to the world.
The best part is: the obamaissowonderful TIME commemorative magazines can start plastering the chechout lanes again. Would someone please talk their deranged sibling into killing this guy, so the now global rimjobbbing will stop?

um killing the guy is a bit much, chances are he didnt submit himself. it was just awarded to him.
but i do wonder who lost out over him. nothing against him personally but it seems that what he has done hasnt even had time to know wether it works or fails yet to give him an award. the news mentioned it was for this and that and for the war in iraq. and i was like,,,,, um what has he changed in iraq. he started out saying he was bringing everyone home during the election, and the only thing hes done is added troops. how is that worth of a nobel peace prize.

He also wants to have the TALIBAN involved in the new government in Afghanistan. Wasn't removing them part of why we went to war in the first place????
well heres your reasoning, basically if this is true, they basiccally can give the award out to someone who hasn't done anything.
• Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human rights and democracy only after they have proven successful.
More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments.
and cavalier some people believe that there are just plain bad people out there and that they should be dealt with harshly. other people believe that if you give the bad people what they want and placate to them, then they will be nice....

I wish I could get a check from the lotto for a winning ticket I may or may not purchase in the future.

Awesome way to describe it man.
David stern just stopped by the office this this morning to give me this years MVP trophy. I was wth? And he said you've developed a decent jump shot, so the pistons might clear a roster space for you and you might avg 40 PTA a game... I was like "oh".
Anyone think he might decline the award and become the worlds most humble man?
“Poor Al Gore. Global warming completely debunked via the very Internet you invented. Oh, oh, the irony!” -Jon Stewart
Wow. Just wow. Talk about the world voicing their unanimous approval of the new guy.
I suppose it's because he is so much closer to the rest of the world's policies than they've ever seen. It's almost as if they are tossing him an "attaboy" out of sheer relief that the old regime has been put aside. Kind of like they feel the Nobel will so empower Obama's initiatives going forward that they can't resist.
This is big. With a Republican Party already in disarray, this hurts them bad.
I really suggest watching the documentary the Obama Deception which completely blows the lid off the myth that Obama is working for americans. He works for wall street crooks. Hes started another vietnam over in afhanistan like wtf are people so brainwashed to think hes good.

Fall of the Republic comes out on the 21st. Wake up americans/canadians our country is being merged into the north american union
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_currency_union
Same concept as the communist European Union. THE EU has a flag, anthem and now that ireland was brainwashed/threatened by the EU with economic collapse if they did not vote YES to the libson treaty. They did
RIP national sovereignty.
I want to share something with you - the three sentences that will get you through life. Number one, 'cover for me', Number two, 'oh, good idea, boss', Number three, 'it was like that when I got here.'
1. The North American union has been in the works for years. WELL before the Obama administration. Shut it.
2. I guess stretching out the hand to Iran was not an attempt at peace....
3. I guess the change in policies and mending of world relations is nothing in the struggle towards world peace.
4. The future looks brighter relations wise with other nations. (You can't argue that point. things were horrid under Bush)
Ya your right, the most powerful man in the world, taking actions like those does nothing at all towards unified peace. Those actions alone were more then anything done in the past 8 years... BUT of course, any achievements by this black president are null and void to you all. "rollseyes.

I give up...

Ive said this before, im not big on politics, I usually avoid it because I know not what I say because I hardly follow it. But very well put Short Hand
also I dont know if this is an act but from what I see Obama seems to be pretty humble, I liked this quote:
Quote:
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," Obama said.

You are aware that he was in office for all of 9 days prior to the vote for this, right?
I personally don't have a problem that he won it based on his actions over 9 months. I do however have an issue that he won it after 9 days in office and having done nothing. That alone speaks volumes.
I'd be more than interested for you to post links to his astounding "achievements" in the course of his first 9 days in office.
I do not believe that is when the vote took place, I read that is when the deadline for nominations were. I believe they actually made the decision in the last two weeks.

Was that the actual Vote, or just the Nomination process back in January? If the nomination took place then, I have no problem with that. If the vote recently took place, as I'd presume it did...I have no problem with that either.
Everyone should keep in mind...the prize is not always strictly about the person...it's also about what the person symbolizes in terms of hope for world peace.
I correspond with people from all over the world, and many in Europe (it's a hobby of mine that actually wraps around a board game I play worldwide over the web), and we all would be well served to understand just what a beacon of hope Obama has been to the rest of the world.
They are all very concerned with USA, for the USA is a big part of their lives, even half a world away. Obama soothes them, and helps them not perceive the USA as an imperialistic menace bent on world domination. Not saying I agree with their point of view...I just try to embrace it and understand it, and I well realize that the last administration scared the hell out of them.
Somehow I don't think I would last long at my job if I sat here and did jack @!#$, but "soothed" them into feeling okay.

wether nominated or voted, I'd still love to hear what he did in less than two weeks that was deserving of a nobel prize.
either way.............

Diplomacy and the USA's stake in an ever-more global economy may not seem important to you, but it's a very neccesary part of where we need to be in the future. The days are past when we were such an economic powerhouse that we could just ignore the rest of the world. They may never return.
This is a huge vote of confidence in us. Even if you find the man's political ideals abhorrent, you care still allowed to be proud of what he symbolizes to the rest of the globe, and that our President won this award It's to all our mutual benefit.
We can ill afford to be an isolated, feared nation in the future. This is another move in the right direction.

oh? He symbolizes a pandering towards them, that of course they like. While also taking us down socialist blvd. Honestly why do they supposedly think we are hellbent on world domination? Those Europeans that we think are so culturally superior can't man up enough to take care of stuff on there side of the globe (bosnia-Rwanda) etc.
Geraldi was on this morning and he agreed that it had something of an antibush ring to it. So let's say the world loves us now? I don't care. My neighbors stillneed jobs,.... Still waiting on these saved or created jobs to arrive.

As much as you are entitled to your opinion and disagreement, this quote is really @!#$in pathetic. You've lost all credibility you've ever had and ever will have in anything you ever say.

I have been looking into this all day, and that was just the nomination process. Nominees are then evaluated for months afterwords until a decision is finalized. IT was quite obvious with this administration coming in that soothing relations out was a priority.

As for the "North American Union"......
No.
Unless you can get everyone on the same page as has been done (for the most part) with this Union of States...No.

"An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone. There is a just God that presides over the destinies of nations. The battle sir, is not of the strong alone. Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death."
