OBAMA - Nobel Peace Prize?

[RWilson2526]

I dont even know why I bother.....but I would guess that his Cairo speech to the muslim world went a long way in their decision on this....I'll admit I was just a surprised to hear this news....but a US president making a speech like that is so far different from our last administrations approach to muslim countries that I guess somebody took notice.

When was that speech. I believe he was nominated for the prize two weeks after the innauguration.

this should be the joke of the day. this guy has yet to do thing one.
he bows before muslim royalty and stands erect before the queen.
i cant phukking believe this sh!t!

he was NOMINATED, not awarded 2 weeks after the inauguration in anticipation that he would try to change world opinion about the US. If he chose not to do anything they did not have to award it to him. I'm not saying that speech did not fall on deaf ears as it probably did but it was a different approach.

NOMINATED, I understand. That is exactly what I posted. I was unaware that the criteria for NOMINATION included looking at the POTENTIAL of the nominee to do something. I always assumed that they would NOMINATE only those that had already ACCOMPLISHED something worthy of the NOMINATION.

No disrespect to you as I doubt you had any input into the panels decision. I know BHO has many accomplishments. His rise to power is truly amazing. He is arguably the best orator we have ever had as POTUS. The promises made in the speaches are what got him elected.

He has changed the world's view of America, the French love us now, the Canadians think were nuts for wanting a single payer health care system and most of Europe knows we are headed toward Socialism.
BHO is sympathetic toward muslims and doesn't make any bones about it. All muslims are not bad but the single biggest mistake BHO has made to date is attempting diplomacy with the radical muslim world. The world views us as weak, and we are. All the talk is just that, it gives those that laud the speaches warm fuzzies.
The Messiah is now among the ranks of Mother Theresa and Ghandi.
I am outta here I need to go puke.
You can have the last word, I will recuse myself from this thread just as any man that ushers another man to his death should have done when NOMINATED for THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE.

Ridge....take a deep breath before you explode...just trying to make conversation...you have to understand I do not support him with as much passion as you guys set forth in bashing him. Just trying to point out where others are coming from. Lets see what he does in Afhganistan, I agree that if he doesnt give Mchrystal everything he asks for he is making a mistake but I am patient enough to give him a few weeks time to develop his plan instead of a knee jerk reaction. He has not abandoned our troops YET so lets not get pissed off just yet.

Afghanistan is just one area in which he has already dropped the ball, his dallying while are troops are dying is disgraceful, he has sat on that request which was first brought to him in june. He did not respond and the General could not even get a conversation with him so he went public with it in august. That is the only reason why we even know about it today. Unless you listen to all of the sources, because many of us have known about it since july.
The other area in which he is an absolute horror for this country is the never before seen deficit spending he and the pelosi/reed triumverant are forcing down our throats, it will bankrupt our country and he could give a crap less.
The other part of this sinister scenario is the so called universal health care initiative. Which is a payback to the unions and the big insurance companies and which will give the federal gestapo control over %40 of our supposed free market, free citizen gross domestic product. Of which up until a decade ago was %17.
No, I am sorry puking is just about right
we will be doing a lot of puking in the coming years if we don't stop this arrogance of power soon.
