There'll be no living with him now!

I can actually feel the atmospheric change due to his head swealing to Biblical Proportions.

How long do you think Obama will have to stand outside the White House before his head shrinks enough to get it through the door?

[bassiusmaximus]

Could it be Obama has been waiting to send troops to Afghanistan because he was aware he was in the final running for this award? Could it be that he put his ego ahead of the troops? Could it be that this was given just to influence his decision? Either way it's proof again that butt kissing and not hard work is what the world wants. What a joke! By the way, Nobel does not equal Noble............

Just for clarification before someone jumps on it, Carter was awarded the Peace Prize in 2002, long after he left the Presidency. However, my assessment of the reasons it was given to him are still valid in my opinion.

It would not surpise me if his next great honor would be the Pulitzer prize. He will either write a book AGAIN or re-publish one of his old ones.

[mhall]

I guess I'm very confused. Don't you actually have to accomplish something to win this award.

What Pray tell has this man accomplished. Push aside the fact for just a moment that the mere sight of him makes me physically ill, I really want somebody, Anybody to honestly tell me what this purple lipped joker has actually accomplished and I'm waiting patiently???????????????????????????????????

[Grumpy]

Mark, did you read the initial post? He has not accomplished anything and apparently "accomplishments" are not required for the award, only "extraordinatry effprts"!! That is what the award says and that is exactly what makes is so strange:

The Norwegian Nobel Committee praised Obama for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

UH Yea I read it that's why I'm trying to point out he did nothing, Zip, Nada that every other American President has tried to do, that's my point. Bush Sr and Jr both, Reagan, Yada Yada all did this very thing during their Presidency WHY didn't they win the NPP???

Thus my confusion Mr Grumpy????????????????????

The Nobel Council jumped the shark years ago, when they gave the Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat. And as if that weren't enough, they gave one to Kofi Annan, right as the Oil for Food scandal was breaking.

[GeoFisher]

AS the Taliban overran an FOB in Afghanistan, Obama was preparing his speach to secure the Olympics. Now we find out he won the Nobel Peace Prize.........

I wonder if the troops desperately needed to WIN that WAR are tied up with his political stuff.

THE MAN has an ego bigger than any past sitting president.............

He did NOTHING to warrent being nominated, let alone winning the thing.....it CHEAPENS the award.

Today was a SAD day for our country, if you ask me.

The lib media will use this to try and boost his poll numbers....just wait and see. The vast Left Wing Conspiracy is alive and well!

Man, i hope I don't cross the new rules of this off topics board, I but I agree whole heartedly with what you just posted. The national deficit has just been set at a new record of 1.4 Trillion dollars, Obama's approval ratings are sinking almost as fast as the value of the dollar, and now every story reported about the economy, especially unemployeement, continue to reference the fact that the recession is history and we are coming out of the recession. I have to believe this is an attempt to help bolster his approval by the American people to try to get him re-elected.

As an example to prove my point about the media, when Bush was in office, every soldier who died was reported and it was made sure that it was part of Bush's troop build up. However, Obama had a troop build up.. in Afganastan, right??.... yet not once has there been reference to a soldier's death being in connection to Obama.

All that said, I think it is horrible that anyone would in anyway try to use the death of a soldier to politicize any article, but our left wing media does this every day.
