have to disagree with this John, I'm sure that Obama would define "doing well" as successfully implementing his radical agenda, if he's "doing well" by his standards we will be deeply indebted and we will labor under the thumb of a big oppressive government...that would not be "doing well"...
I guess I should have said by "MY" standards. Mea Culpa

You need the Spence Political Forum Talking Point of the Day Calendar. Each and every day there's a new word or phrase like "Bi-partisan Support", "Imposing Theocracy", Exit Strategy", Neocon", "Conservative Vapidity", Tea Baggers", and "GOP Rhetoric". Just type anything, then add in something from that days calendar page and you've got yourself a Spencism.
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
"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."
Because under W we were viewed as a country being run on a stack of lies by a bunch of crooks... That's why. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
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.
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

I agree. Obama really know how to say the right things. He's great at reading speeches.
By the way, I love the fact that you used the word "props" in your post. Props to you, Spence. You deserve it!

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

Come on Spence, Obama says this outright every chance he can.
Frankly I think this demeans the award. What has he actually done to earn it? what a complete joke this award has become.

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.
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....
