This must be the consolation prize for losing the Olympic bid

I just saw that and I'm still puking on my keyboard. He hasnt done anything at all. How the heck can he already be awarded the Nobel Peace prize? The libs will certainly flaunt this.

You mean I didn't get it again this year ?

[allingeneral]

ugh. What a bunch of drivel.

[VBshooter]

Makes me wonder if he's been spreading our wealth around behind our backs, The apology tour, being comlpacent to the point of disgust, abandoning some of our allies,, all the good things that make real people want to puke,, Yeah he deserved a prize, It's too bad they don't have a (CS)chicken sh** award,,,that he would worthy of...

He already thinks he is god (which makes me sick to my stomach) and this is just going to add to his swollen ego. I don't know how they can say he deserved to win the Nobel. He hasn't DONE ANYTHING yet!

That reminded me of a joke that sadly enough has become true.

What's the difference between Obama and God ?

God doesn't think he's Obama.


They posted the reasons he won on Fox this morning. One was his reaching out to the muslim community. I've said it once and I'll say it again, he's part of a frickin' terrorist cell.

I think this actually says more about western Europeans than it does about Obama. I'm sure their thinking on this was, "You Americans got rid of Bush and are no longer racists, here's an award." And yes, they do think like that. I've been to western Europe on business many times over the past 10 years. And while parts of western Europe are pretty and many western Europeans are nice people, they seem to have a very different view of America than I do.

1.4 mil for winning the Nobel Prize...maybe put that money for peace keeping in Chicago ?

[VBshooter]

Probably not,, Wouldn't be enough left after Daly got his cut!!!

[OakRidgeStars]

It could have been worse. They could have given it to Michael Moore

i want the right wing extremist award of the year

[gfost1]

Howdy, Y'all

With his legacy now established, our president can relax and coast to the end of his term like a lame duck is supposed to.

I, for one, am happy for him.

Regards,

George

I honestly hope you're right about him being a lame duck George.

I can't help but wonder what will happen to Obama's popularity after the 2010 mid-terms if a significant number of democrats are replaced by conservative-to-moderate republicans. Remember what happened to Bill Clinton's popularity after the 1994 mid-terms?. The voters replaced a large number of liberals with conservatives, and the result brought about a end to the recession and lower unemployment. But the real result was his reelection two years later to a second term.

Once the economy improves and more Americans go back to work, guess who'll stand up in 2012 and take all the credit?. Don't think that can happen with Obama like it did with Clinton?.

Remember, if it wasn't for the Iran hostage crisis, Jimmy Carter might have been elected for a second term too. Don't underestimate the power of the Washington spin doctors. They'll play us like a dime store fiddle. Just like they did in 2008.

They wont if we do our jobs and not let them. If they do and we stand idly by then I'll say it again - it will be our collective fault.

[meadmkr]

This simply shows that the Nobel committees have zero credibility these days. In fact I lost all respect for the award after they gave it to Carter.

Your 100% correct DK.. Much like the masses that put Obama in office,, This time WE have to get off our asses and get involved if we want to fix this mess,, That means doing more than reading websites for a lot of people. It takes a small amount of time actually to fire off a letter, an email or make a phone call. We need to show people that we're right and show them why. After 2010 it;s gonna be very important to keep the momentum going even stronger to unseat Obama and put a person who wants the USA to be the USA, in office, Not some new world embarrasment that the The Europeans, Chinese and Middle East are influencing into destroying itself to work in their favor while the President goes around apologizing for imaginary actions, kills our jobs, raises our taxes and rewards his Political supporters' out of the Washington Cookie Jar while the rest of us foot the bill.....People who want it fixed can either GET UP and do something about it or continue to sit on their hands and shut up when nothing changes'
