PRESIDENT OBAMA WINS 2009 NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
Submitted by largro on October 9, 2009 - 3:54am
OSLO (AP) - President Barack Obama on Friday won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.
"Only 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," the committee said.
I wonder what his detractors will think of that? Well, I already got my answer. The commentators on Fox cable news are all upset about it. lol

President Obama is an unappreciated president .Only after decades , will we realize the depth of what he has done to America .

Oh yes the chosen one did so much between January 20, 2009 when he legally became President and February 1, 2009 when it was the deadline for entries. Can I say what a crock?

( Newser) – Rush Limbaugh doesn’t think the Nobel committee members were trying to honor President Obama—he thinks they’re trying to “emasculate" the United States. “With this ‘award’ the elites of the world are urging Obama, THE MAN OF PEACE, to not do the surge in Afghanistan,” he wrote in an e-mail to Politico. “They love a weakened, neutered US.” He added that he thought the award was a “greater embarrassment” than losing the 2016 Olympics.
Other conservatives sounded the same theme. “Utterly ridiculous,” said one GOP strategist. “The credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize has … hit rock bottom.” Mike Huckabee, with his eye on Obama's job, struck a slightly less inflammatory note: "The better response is simply to allow those on the left to explain what he did in his first two weeks as president that merited such recognition."

Why should the "left" have to explain the actions of the Nobel Prize committee. The "left" had nothing to do with the decision to give the peace prize to someone who hasn't brokered any peace, anywhere.
......that's true Pete..........good point.........unless they nominated him , the lefties in this country have no dog in that fight really..........I thought it was somebody here that nominated Obama......I understood Huckabee's comment to mean that........but do we KNOW that?...........or is that an assumption?...........it's my understanding that Obama was nominated after TWO WEEKS in office...........so it still begs the question "WHY?"...........but maybe Huckabee KNOWS something we don't............his statement implies that he does.......if not , then his comment at "lefties" was misdirected.................unless he meant "lefties from abroad.........do they HAVE lefties in Norway?...........lol..........I think they DO.................

......... this is the voice that lent "spiritual guidance" to the Obamas for 20 years..........perhaps the Norwegians meant the "piece prize"..........a prize for breaking America into pieces...........no wonder the European leaders , Middle Eastern peoples and the dictators love "their favorite son"............

So the teachers in Philadelphia will spend this weekend writing an additional verse to the "Mmm...Mmm...Mmm..." song.
I'll bet Todd and Eldogg could come up with some outstanding lyrics?
Joe Liccar
Your friendly neighborhood cartoonist
OH MAN COULD I EVER.....
but sadly this blog site has strict rules against profanity joe!!
t
......well I found the lyrics........I can't remember where the kids sang the "Mmm" part.......I tried to find the video on 7 different sites and it has mysteriously been removed EVERYWHERE........imagine that..........so I was gonna call my cousin and see if he would work on it............he's an @ss anyway.........so he's "suited" to the job.............give it a shot Todd.......I'll bet you do great.............there doesn't HAVE to be profanity...........you could use symbols........sometimes imagination can be far more interesting than reality..........ROFL..............like the date I had with Jennfer Aniston in a dream.......... ha ha ha...........

Nominated 12 days after taking the oath of office for the Presdency. Does anybody doubt that this was preordained?
I don't agree with him winning this early in his presidency. He might be talking the talk, but we haven't really had time to see if anything really comes of it.
oh great....this means that next year osama bin laden will get it!!
how may norweigens does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
giving to a man who couldnt find the time to meet with the dali lahma...
WHAT A JOKE THE NOBLE PRIZE HAS BECOME!!
first carter(ok i hate his politics but he did some good in the middle east)...then gore...for the global warming farce...now this?....oh the humanity.
todd
.............well there you go.......I haven't even turned on a national news channel yet...............I'm not upset over it...........but I definitely think it's a very curious choice.............maybe the Norwegians have been smoking the "peace pipe"............ROFL..............at one of their coffee shop combos......................I'm sorry , did I miss something?..........."extraordinary efforts by Obama?".................erhh?.......because of an "apology tour" around the world?.................and a couple speeches to the U.N.?...........then I remembered that they also gave it to Jimmy Carter...............I'm wondering if the "Nobel Peace Prize" is all it used to be.......I think it's great that he won it after just 8 months in office............but I'm scratching my head at the "extraordinary efforts" comment by the Norwegian Nobel committee..........I'm thinking of other past winners and their efforts and quite frankly I fail to see Obama as even a likely candidate for just a few speeches read from a teleprompter............written by some professional speech writer............what else is he going to say about nuclear disarmament?.............let's amp it up and blow up the Earth?....lol..........what else is he going to say about the United Nations?.........when he's giving a speech TO the United Nations................perhaps this blog could be construed by another Nobel winner as "racist".......Jimmy Carter of course.......... what Carter said about Americans certainly isn't contributing to the "peace" of the United States............and so it is.........our new prez , who is bringing unprecedented unrest and division to the United States , is the winner of the Nobel "peace prize"........ironic huh?.............

Isn't this the same award that ol' feeble-minded Ronnie Ray-gun tried to buy back in the old days?
No, but it seems Obama got the price right for his prize.
.....nice one......making fun of an Alzheimer's victim........pretty classy.........btw.......that didn't happen until AFTER Ronnie left office but it was nice of you to mention it...........at least Ronnie was capable of MAKING a decision.......although he wasn't much of a "hoops shooter"...............(sigh)..................
eldoggg
no what he was was one helluva great president...and he could tell the american public how is was without trying to charm them with bull s**t....
hows my symbols doggg??
t
......right on ........lol..........
eldoggg
he would have been very deserving of it too!....you see, peace isnt always about people and "togetherness" and tolerance and all that other crapola your president sputs off about. it can about keeping the peace...i mean president reagan was the last decent...and i mean that in EVERY sense of the word...kept the peace by not cowing down to other world leaders and kissing a$$ and telling the world that we should all just get along.no way....he let it be known that if you f**ked with the united states we would f**k you back tenfold....and guess what it worked!,,,until all the lawyers and wimps that called themselve presidents came along...then the world saw our weakness...i wish we had more ronald reagan's in our future...but its never gonna happen until something very tragic happens and our country wakes up...
todd
Ronnie... capable of making a decision???? LOL
i guess i dont understand what your trying to say...splain yourself lucy
