Nobel peace prize,
An Oscar would have been more appropriate !!! |
I just do't get this. I have to agree with everyone, the man has done nothing to deserve this and compared to the other candidates he is bit player
|
He should donate the $1.4M to charity instead of lining his pocket as Pres
|
Yes, maybe have a lottery for the unemployed.

Think I heard on the news that donating (vs pocketing) is the only choice? |

leaf peepin ride
as the wife and i took a ride to see the foliage..................
we happened to see a small sign along the roadway that said: "hows that change working out for you" :grins: |
"Most now regard the Nobel Peace Prize as they do the prize one finds in a box of Cracker Jacks with a one million prize tacked on. a lottery ticket and no more. The earth is officially cooling and Al Gore won the prize for what - fantasy? No one I know has any respect for the prize, other than the money that comes with it."
Raven great sign :hee: |

The Nobel prize is certainly a bit of a novelty all things considered, but I do give Obama props for how well he spoke about it when he made his remarks. It's not like he asked for it. -spence |
thank goodness, I opened my paper this morning and there was a guy named Spencer in the obituaries, Spence had been very quiet and ....well.......glad you're ok Spence

By the way, I love the fact that you used the word "props" in your post. Props to you, Spence. You deserve it! |
WELL SAID.

This just adds to my opinion that Europeans are out of their mind.
I do like Huckabee's response (paraphrased) "GOP, keep your criticisms quiet. Let the liberals explain what he did to desearve it" Why does the left have to explain it? The idiot Norwegians are the ones that should explain it. The only part of Spence's post I agree with - Obama didn't ask for it. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Frankly I think this demeans the award. What has he actually done to earn it? what a complete joke this award has become.
"Originally Posted by spence No, has more to do with the view that the US is in charge of the World. I'm not talking about the de facto leader, but rather that without our leadership the World will fail. Other Presidents have certainly thought it, but the people Bush surrounded himself with sure didn't have a problem saying it. The Nobel prize is certainly a bit of a novelty all things considered, but I do give Obama props for how well he spoke about it when he made his remarks. It's not like he asked for it. -spence" The people who award this prize feel that the US has had too much money, control and freedom and want to see them brought more in-line as the rest of the world, perhaps to a more socialist position like many their own governments. In this regard, Obama generally supports their views and IMO this award was given to him as a cheer leading memento... showing that they support him...

Even his acceptance speech sounded arrogant to me. Most presidents, would say, "The United States, will not stand idly by while terrorist nations strive for nuclear weapons." but instead Obama speaks as if he is the leader of the world (or a preacher) "The world will not accept the proliferation of nuclear weapons." In matters concerning the rest of the world, when he speaks, he thinks he is speaking for the world and not for the U.S. He has no authority to speak for the rest of the world, and a few countries in Europe do feel he is arrogant and his numbers are not so good over there. Yes African nations, some of the Arab nations and many in South America love him. So many of our enemies and neutral countries like him, while a few of our friends are beginning to dislike him. Add Japan to the list that seems to like him, at least the people do (my mother in law for one)......
THE NOBEL PRIZE RULES STATE THAT IT IS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS NOT GRAND IDEAS. EVEN THOUGH I THINK GORE WAS FULL OF SH*T, HE AT LEAST DID SOMETHING, THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE HELPED THE WORLD. inho, C.B. |
That Saturday Night Live spot tells it all!!!
Wasn't sure if they would ever go there..... Props should be given to SNL!!!! |
it would be much funnier if he actually did a good Obama impersonation, that may be one of the worst I've seen on SNL...they've been hilarious with these skits in the past because they pull off the appearance, voice and mannerisms of different figures....didn't see any of that in this....

a friend of mine from the State dept. sent this.
"Certainly from our standpoint, this gives us a sense of momentum -- when the United States has accolades tossed its way, rather than shoes." sean |
