October 9, 200916 yr You mean NBC, supposed to be the most biased pro-Obama network out there, actually ran an objective piece? Wow ... I guess the world is coming to an end. :lol: After Fox News runs a pro-Obama piece.
October 9, 200916 yr He was inaugurated on January 20th and nominations were due by February 1st. So I’m assuming he won based on popularity, potential, or something else because I can’t seem to recall any accomplishments of this magnitude during his first ten days in office. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking. According to one story, "President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.". So....................in 10 days, he: 1. strengthend international diplomacy and cooperation. 2. Reached out to the Muslim world (which I'm sure will bring terrorism to an end). 3. Strived to curb nuclear proliferation. Yes, all in 10 days............wow!! No wonder all those kids are singing about him. It took God 7 days to create the world and Obama 10 days to fix it. All hail the Obamessiah.

October 9, 200916 yr This is hilarious on many levels! He must have had a monster 9 days leading up to the nominations. My junior year in football we had a senior playing his first year of football ever. He started a couple games at guard, lost his position, then got it back due to an injury. Total starts was about 6-7 games. Made no district or all state teams. At the awards banquet he was announced as making an all american team! His dad was quite influential. It cracked the rest of the team up. To his credit he was totally humiliated. Brings back memories.

October 9, 200916 yr What a joke.:thumb: This "award" became a joke when it was given to Gore for something that had zero to do with peace, now it's totally lost all meaning whatsoever. What ever happened to actually earning an award?
October 9, 200916 yr Those are good enough reasons for me!!!And it's this kind of thinking that gets someone like Obama an award he didn't deserve and taken away from someone that did. Great way to do things... :ohbrother:
October 9, 200916 yr :thumb: This "award" became a joke when it was given to Gore for something that had zero to do with peace, now it's totally lost all meaning whatsoever. What ever happened to actually earning an award? No kidding. This is just a joke and a disgrace to the various doctors, scientists and others that are actually devoting their entire lives to something great.

It was bad enough under Bush that we were starting to lose in Afghanistan, but things are worse now.
October 9, 200916 yr It took God 7 days to create the world and Obama 10 days to fix it There are those who think he is the second coming. Apparently the Nobel committee is in that group.

It was bad enough under Bush that we were starting to lose in Afghanistan, but things are worse now. What a pickel to be in now with 3 options on the table for troops in Afga. 1. Status Quo 2. +40,000 3. +100,000 This guy scares me! :scared:
October 9, 200916 yr Can he decline the award? Of course, I assume not without offending the committee.
