Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize
It was announced this morning that President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize.
There have been mixed reactions to Obama receiving the award due his length of time in office — just over 9 months.
"Very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," said the Norwegian Nobel Committee in addition to commending "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
While Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev are on board with the decision, others believe it was a premature choice, especially those in the Middle East.
A conservative religious party leader in Pakistan referred to the award an embarrassing "joke" while an Hamas official in Palestine said, "Obama has a long way to go still and lots of work to do before he can deserve a reward. Obama only made promises and did not contribute any substance to world peace."
What do U think of the Committee's decision?

Re: tasty dish –
THE WORLD THINK ITS BULL SHIT THAT HE GOT THAT PEACE NOBEL PRIZE. THATS WHAT THE WORLD IS THINKING.
AND THAT THE AMERICAN ARE GETTING VERY CLEVER SINCE THEY CAN SEE THAT AND CAN ALSO SEE THAT OBAMA IS NOTHING BUT HOT AIR AND HAS NOT DELVERED ANYTHING OF WHAT HE PROMISED, ON THE CONTRARY.
EXCEPT FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHOS IQ IS SO LOW THAT YOU CANT SEE A SHIT EVEN ON YOUR FACE.
Re: ap076 –
IGNORANT YOURSELF ! ITS A MISSILE THEY BOMBED IT WITH YOU MORON!
AND NO IT WASNT PLANED FOR YEARS BUT DECIDED RECENTLY AFTER THEY SAW WHAT COULD BE WATER, 4 MONTHS AGO!
THAT MISSILE HAD TO PASS 2½ TIMES AROUND EARTH BEFORE ENDING ON THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON AND IT ALSO MEAN IT COULD HAVE DROPED ON US.
IT ALSO MEAN THAT IT COULD HAVE SEND THE MOON OUT OF ORBIT, AND THE FACT REMAIN THAT THE SCIENTIFICS HAVE ABSOLUTLY NO IDEA AS FOR WHAT CONSEQUENCES THAT EXPERIMENT CAN HAVE FOR THE MOON AND FOR US NOW AND IN THE FUTURE.
THAT WAS A LONG SHOT THEY TOOK, IN BOTH MEANING OF THE WORD!
Re: ap076 –
YOU ARE A COMPLEETE TARD!
WHEN YOU DONT KNOW SHIT OF WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT STFU!
YEARS AGO THAT WAS ON MARS THAT THEY HAD SEEN WATER! NOT ON THE MOON.
THE MOON THING IS SOMETHING THEY FOUND OUT THIS YEAR AFTER ANALYSIS OF PICTURES FROM THEIR GIANT TELESCOPE THAT WAS SEND IN SPACE AND HAS CAME BACK WITH PICTURES.
WAAAAKE UUUP!
PS: go back to school or learn how ot use the net to keep yourself informed damnet!
Re: Puffin –
HE IS NOT WRITING HIS OWN SPEECH. someone does that for him
a french young man, age 26, Favreau, who is french
so thats how oyur president is not butchering the english language and sounds intelligent!
ROFLAMAO!!!!!
Re: tasty dish –
in case oyu didnt noticed 90% of the people psotign here against obama are peole who voted him into office!! LOL
waaake uuuppp!
i think obama has good intentions now he just needs to put them into action because in my opinnion he can go far and great do things. but we need action. however it has only been 9 months so im hoping that we will see something soon
OBAMA!!!
This is a FUCKING JOKE.
Re: Yellow Peeps – 205
he signed the treatee this week, 2 days ebfore getting the peace prize, that forbid all journalists and governemnts in the west to criticise islamic countries and to cirticise islam, no matter what they do!
YES HE DID!
FN resolution presented by the egyptian president to the FN commission.and ratified by Obama who also forced all other european coutnries to do the same!
FUCK OBAMA!
as USA is the strongest in FN, we are all in the shit thanks to him!
its call dictatorship! and a total infrogement on civilrights and freedom odf speech andof the press too!
it also mean that people living in muslims /islamic countries cannot criticise their governements nor islam, and what islam does to them, including women's rights!
do you get it now? you dont even look at what he is doing! all oyou do is listening to his speeches and looking at the shining varnish.
This man is the biggest terrorist to unborn children throughout America. How can a man who supports the killing of innocent babies through abortion be given a "Peace" prize ????
What is wrong with these people?!?!?!? First Al Gore, now Obama? Give me a break! Have these people not paid attention to what's been going on since his swearing in? He's the WORST president in history! I've never been so ashamed in a President since Clinton. That million $ award should be given to someone more deserving and to someone that makes promises and KEEPS THEM! He's more of a IDIOT than GAG-a and Kanye put together. I can't believe that someone like him is in control of our country and freedom. I'm sick of all of his bail-outs that, in the end, we are going to have to pay for. And his more than QUADRUPLING our national deficit has gotten way out of hand. Next time you liberals need to do some research before you vote. McCain doesn't look so bad now, huh?
And now the Summer Olympics is his MAJOR concern when we are @ WAR!!! If he's getting a peace prize, why are we still fighting? I do not consider him as my Commander in Chief. Nancy Pelosi is the one that is really running the U.S. and that's scary because she's just as shady as he is! Get him out of the White House!!! IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH HIM NOW!!!!
Re: LULU~* – Fuck you bitch, I'm a republican and it seems to me that you DON'T pay attention to the news. You dumb-assed liberals are going to be the ones that REGRET electing that dumb ass. He's WORSE than Jimmy Carter and that's pretty hard to accomplish. Think about your freedom and you children's future before you start talking shit about republicans. Or maybe do America a favor and don't ever vote again if you are going to elect an IDIOT like him again. My 6 year-old even knows that he's shady.
Re: vonkell – THANK YOU!!! Liberals are some of the most blind people. They thought that when Osama/Obama used the word "change" in his campaign, that it would be for the better. How much more dumb can they get?
He can't even deliver a speech (written by himself) without a teleprompter and his UHs & UMs. I can't stand to even look at his purple lips much less hear his voice! I feel sorry for ANYONE that backs this fucking retard. He isn't even from this country. People can say that he was born in Hawaii, but I have yet to see an authentic birth certificate! Proof of live births can be produced by anyone with a printer! And why is majority of his family still in Africa? I'm glad that more and more Libtards are regretting the fact that they elected this MORON. I will NEVER vote for anyone that is a democrat. Take a look at the past dem presidents. Need I say more?!?!?
Re: SheriMoonFireFly – Have you forgotten all of the people that died on that gruesome day? That "God forsaken" war is protecting you and your freedom. And if he ends the war too soon, that shit will end up coming over here. Do you want that? Do you want to go to bed or wake up in the morning worndering if insurgants are going to invade your home and kill you and your family? Wake the fuck up!!!! Maybe you need to watch the news more or read the headlines on your homepage before you cast your word vomit on this site! You must not be a TRUE AMERICAN.
Can we put some power behind hope. Hope starts everything but we don't recognize or honor it as much. He is trying to work on cleaning up what Bush fucked up, that might take some time don't you think? If the man sneezes he get criticized in the media so making big step would probably get him impeached. I mean he told the kids to have a good school year and look how that turned out. How the hell is health care for all citizens a bad thing? Most of you are a bunch of idiots
Maybe with the world's support, he might start doing bigger things because our country is just critical.
Re: ss794 –
"This is a joke! And became apparent when Gore won over Irena Sandler a 97 year old Polish woman who saved around 2500 Jewish children from the Nazis in Warsaw durring WW2 "
THIS MAKE IT ONLY WORSE!
AND THEY COULDNT GIVE IT TO HER NOW?
OBAMA SHOULD GIVE IT TO THAT WOMAN TOGETHER WITH THE 1 MILLON THAT COMES WITH IT AND DELIVER IT TO HER IN OWN HANDS!
SHAME ON YOU OBAMA!
SHAME ON YOU NOBEL PRIZE COMITEE!
I SEE OCEANS APON OCEANS OF MORONIC RAMBLING!

"HE HAS DONE MORE IN 8 MOS. THEN ANY PRESIDENT IN THE LAST 50 YRS, MAYBE IN THE HISTORY OF THE U.S. "
NAME ONE THING.
(YOU MOST COMFORTABLY FORGOT TO MENTION IT)
Re: justme09 –
"lol o gosh the obama haters come out from under there rocks lol i love it when he pisses yall off
its kinda early but he did become the first black president i mean he is prolly gonna take up a complete chapter in our new history books whatever i really dont care for all that shit aint like he asked for it,he's prolly confused his damn self but i know he feels pretty damn happpy i would lol "
IS THIS ENGLISH?
You certainly need lessons.
so him being black make him entitled to be president huh?
then you are a racist.
you should elect a president based on his parti line not his color!
and ignorant bitch, had you really read the comments posted here, 90% of the people who posted here against obama receiving that prize are people who voted for obama and were with to put him in!
but unlike you, they dont have shit for brain and can see what he is doing versus what he is saying.
and they can also see that it is totaly unfair to many people who work all their life to achieve peace to dont get a nobel peace prize when obama did, doing nothing, and the 1 million that goes with it that they surely could use in their work while obama dont need it!
you are a moron and too narrow minded.
Hell has officially frozen over.
The Nobel Peace prize doesn't mean shit now.
YES!!!!!!! I"M SO EFFIN EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! GO OBAMA! Regardless of how long he's been in office. He deserves it. He's the first US president of African American heritage. That's a huge accomplishment! I think he's done an impressive job since he's been in office especially since he's only had 9 months to do it! Great Job!!
Re: insertsobriquet –
Oh, an idiot!
"YES!!!!!!! I"M SO EFFIN EXCITED ABOUT THIS!! GO OBAMA! Regardless of how long he's been in office. He deserves it. He's the first US president of African American heritage.

What job?
all the idiot that speak of his "great job" always fail to mention WHAT!
isnt it interesting and pathetic?
So he deserve a noble peace prize because he is BLACK!!??
but them THAT MAKE YOU INOT A RACIST DUDE!
AND NO THE NOBEL PRIZE FOR PEACE WASNT MENT TO BE ATTRIBUTED IN FONCTION OF YOUR SKIN COLOR!
YOU STILL DONT KNOW SO BUT THE VOTE FOR THE NOBEL PRIZE ENDED IN JANUARY THIS YEAR, MEANING THAT MOST MEMBER OF THE NOBEL PROZE COMITEE SENDED THEIR VOTE BEFORE OBAMA WAS IN OFFICE.
DOES IT RING A BELL?
YOU DONT GET A PRIZE FOR BEING ELECTED PRESIDENT OF USA, BLACK OR WHITE.
AND YOUR SECOND REASON IS??
HIS GREATE ACCOMPLISHMENTS? REGARDING WHAT?
JUST NAME ONE THING I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO KNOW.
It's like giving a cookie to a spoiled rotten fat child to shut him up. Let's give or Pres. an award for doing NOTHING!!!!!
Re: BeautifulBrunnette69 – Yeah, obviously we don't follow your politics or history…. NO ONE CARES!
Re: Smooch77 – typical republican. he's only been in office 9 mths. bush had 8 years & what did he do? put us in a war we didn't belong in that has bankrupted this nation. idiot. obama is doing something in 9 mths that bush WOULDN'T do in 8 yrs, strengthening our international relations.
Re: misterfister – he was HANDED a bankrupt nation thanks to your bush. i suppose you have no idea how hated we were in the world before obama was elected. obama is a God send. it always gets worse before it gets better. he has the responsibility of correcting every error the bush administration made. after he does that, our country will once again flourish.
Re: LovinLife10 – ignorant american. ever stop to think why europe's money is worth more than ours? because of the socialized programs set in place that obama wants to do for us here. the government safeguards the people's investments, by being invested themselves. the government is where it should be unlike here. we have less rights, but have policies that make the rich get richer, while people who save all of their lives are gambling with their retirement. not in europe. you people have no common sense. go live in another country as a citizen of that country, not via the us military on a base. then come back & give an opinion you can back up with experience.
Re: ss794 – wtf is with this silent no more bullshit? marxists are bad? oh but bush's fascism is good? rofl. fuck off with your IGNORANT silent no more bullshit. fucking moron. why don't you actually read books instead of propaganda emails from rightist propaganda sites forwarded to you. our dollar has been sinking for the past 8 years & finally obama is going to change that when his health care reform passes…& it will pass, thank fuck.
obama aint fixin shiz so i dont realycare about his awards untill he fixes shit idont give a rats ass
This man is doing a whole lot of good "behind the scenes" for this country.
Can you imagine all the issues that are on his plate on a typical day? Factor in all the unplanned issues that pop up. I honestly think how he handled North Korea was a very intelligent and peaceful way. He didnt order the military to
run in there and blow them away. he has been handling everything in a peaceful way utilizing other countries within the UN. He has done many things that the people won't even begin to appreciate until he is out of office. It is easy to judge another person
but you really must look at what a mess the US was in when he took over office. He is doing an excellent job and if he wins the Nobel Peace Prize it is well deserved.
YEAH FOR OBAMA!
.
THANKING OUR GAY AND LESBIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE MILITARY!.

AND…..
.
"It is a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady Gaga," the president told the crowd. "I've made it."
Ugh. Wtf… he hasn't done anything, at all really. The only thing hes been doing is signing off on bunch of half assed programs that were poorly thought out from the beginning. He didn't deserve that, people like Nelson Mandela, who have worked their entire life, even suffered for their cause, and actually have brought about peace, those people deserve it.
Re: aneurysm –
you are totaly wrong.
the euro was very strong when bush was in power and has nothing to do with the social system of eurpean countries.
they had a social system for about 100 years, long before the euro came about, and currencies have been up and down.
the values of money in a country got nothing ot do wiht wether the country got a social system or not but wiht their BNP, and their import/export balance, as well as what that country owns.
when oyu dont know shit about europe nor about national and international economy, dont act clever on it.
Second: Obama has doen nothing at all since he is in power but following Bush politics even ahve the same 5 advisers as bish had. but i dont expect blind ignoratn like oyu to know so.
Corea never was bombed by bush so your expl is invalid.
Bush had no plans to put more troops in afghnastna, onbama send 60.000 more, is htis diplomatic procedure?
For your information, the dollar was very strong under bush,. it fall form end of 2007 due to the begining food crisis and then housing crisis, who was due to maipulating financial individuals and had nothing to do with the governement and its policy.
The solution to htat crisis was implemneted by Bush and supported by Mc Cain, not by obama.
obama is a puppet, he knows nothing about politic and economy and he does nothing either, he talk, and all his speeches are written by a 26 eyars old french dude,. I am not even sutre that obama know what he is saying.
The nobel prize for peace is given for achievements, obama has achieved nothing. And the votes were ended in january, even before he came into office.
the point here is htat there is no reason at all for him to get that award, except for being black. And thats not a reason to get the nobel prize for peace its therefor scandalous, especialy for those who did something to get that prize and those who work their ass hard for decades and never got it.
Specialy the same week as he sign a treatee to forbid free press in the workld and forbid all citizen the freedom of expression by signign an FN doc stating that no american is alowed to criticise islam. and the same week as he send 60.000 soldiers to war!.
We are at war and obama is contributing to it.
not peace!.
BTW, its not the military budget that caused the economical crisis you dumbee! but the loan/credit speculations! who got nothing to do with government's policies.
And for your knowledge obama has given a bigger budget to the military than bush did!
he also promised in his speech 4 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTiON that he will rebuild the US military stronger and will reinforce the military weapons.
But looks like that all critics and all journalists and all voters overheard him saying that one!
Guess why?
cause they were like you totaly selfbrainwashed that the guy was hope and peace incarnated, so he wont say such thing, right?
well he did! and he intend to do so!
you idiots only see what you want to see and when ask you tlak and talk but coem wiht no concrete expl like that oceansky that is so dumb that he even imagine that oh but he must be busy right? he must be doing things we dont know about right?.. WRONG! he did absolutly nothing in front nor behind the scene.
you are just desillusioned and cant accept the truth.
what he does is the oposite of waht he promised you.
and thats also why he got that prize.. cause it was voted in at a time when oyu and the members of that comitee too, where all obamazed, and thought they had seen the Messia!
they need a wake up call and a cold shower!
the guy is not who oyu think he was and will never be so.
Its not obama that help overcome the economical crisis but the republicans who pressed for the packs to get passed by the senat!
The democrates were against!
And the health reforms have been totaly truncated by obama
the oriinal health reform is form a republican, and was much better than the one presented by obama and contained much more helped.
waht oyu coem with in your imagination is not at al what obama has in mind.
he doenst intend at all to give a health reform like the one we have in european countries, oh no, what he coems with is a controled state.
same with FEMA camps and military controlled society.
Learn to see him through.
Making the world fall in love with America does not equal peace!
Ending the Bush/Chaney momentum to supporting torture is not peace
Peace is fighting to stop Healhtcare for all of God's America.
I think Rush Limbaugh or Ann Coulter should have won, some white conservative that hates minorities and the poor. Or, give it to one of those Republicans that cant seem to keep their marriage voes. That's peaceful?
Re: china04 – Ending torture!!! I think he won it when 2 million Gremans ran to hear him speak with a teleprompter. Bush did a speech in front of 40 people and had a show thrown at him. He won it to me, before he won the presidency. The Nobel Peace Prize will only gain legitimacy in Ameria when someone white and conservative wins it, which is never because white conservatives advocate war. American conservatives want Oama to fail, therefore America to fail…that is why they say "ending torture" is not an accomplishment
IN eleven days HE ENDED TORTURE sanctioned by Bush…..NUFF SAID!!!!!
Let's put it this way…………….he closed the secret prison's and he said he was closing Gito, and that alone, the Gito closing made the whole see us in a different color. He is also taking global warming seriously, unlike G.W. The war is unwinable, and anyone that says that we can control people who dresses like they are 2,ooo years old are freaking idiots. It's a money maker and I'm not talking down our troops. They are progammed ROBOTS and they'll do what they're TOLD!!!!!!!!!
IT'S NOW TIME TO PUT OUR AMY BACK ON THE SHELF AND LET THEM GET
[[[[[[[[ DUSTY ]]]]]]]]]]]]] AGAIN, 9 years is long enough to die for oil and to die
for {{{{{{{{{{ OPIETS AND HEROIN }}}}}}}}. CONGRATULATION TO OBAMA, HE MUST BE GOOD IF THE GOP HATES HIM. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
GOP, want to win the next election? Start now on legalizing maryjane for all states, not just Calif.
Re: JokerBaby – Right on Joker Baby!
I SEE OCEANS OF SHIT AGAIN!
GET OFF THE METH, TWEEKER!
Well, I can see a beer fest coming up in Afghanistan, with the most likely participants being The Obama Osama duo, with Hillary as head barmaid.
this pushes my buttons to the max
they are millions of everyday heroes and angels
that are going unrecognized just due to their status and popularity
in my opinion obama has done NOTHING to deserve the nobel peace prize
the committee should be ashamed of their decision and feel stupid
he has been in office for less than a year
but oh i forgot hes the first black president….
anything else?
nothing.
Obama is the damn antichrist, I am thoroughly convinced.
Obama + Nobel prize = lol
Re: Ocean – 1: ur fucking crazy…. Look at all ur comments you crazy bitch! lol fuck you got like 30… Get a job buddy.. 2: the President gets paid to be president just like any other job.. He doesn't work for free.. He uses THAT money to buy clothes and necessities.. You think he uses taxes to go grocery shopping you crazy inbred fuck? Fuck me some ppl are so stupid..Re: auf wiedersehen – That would be called ignorance my dumb American friend.. lol.. So you just supported my theory that Canadians study the US. and the US can't even point it's own country out on the map.. Wow.. Smart buddy..
