Obama wins Nobel for peace.
 

Comments in here.

He's the commander in chief in major wars/occupations. How can he be eligable for a peace prize? That seems counter-intuitive....

I think it's a message from Europe: "seriously, no more fucking cowboys. Please".

I don't get it. He has only been in office for 10 months now. I see no great peace accomplishments. and the economy still sucks

NOT being george bush is not a reason to win this "prize"

lol, europe is still so fascinated with a black dude. he's black, not mentally retarded, stop making him feel like such a "winner"

Yeah, I think this prize has been awarded basically for his speeches...which is kind of weird, coz one could say the most amazing things and still act like an idiot (Kyoto anyone?)... Living in Europe I must say that there actually is this sort of new/different and possibily more positive attitude/mood thanks to his presence and the content of his speeches, but at the same time I think this is way too rushed...
I see notyourfriend's point, but sincerely I don't expect a new president to just say "ok guys, thanks for your efforts in *insert country*, now let's all get home and have a BBQ"..not dissing or understimating your point, eh, I just think he, as everyone else would, needs time to actually make that famous "change" (in every field imo), even a small one...that's why I think everything is too rushed, unless big minds at Nobel committee are afraid of the end of the world in 2012...

OH MY GOD.

He's got some big talk fr sure

what the fuck and where do the fuck do you find such things

anyone could win a Nobel Prize if they had a unicorn as a sidekick

"can we talk about increasing troop strength tomorrow? I have to go pick up my peace prize money, right now."

doesn't beat Kissingers.
"everything that flies on everything that moves" - ordering the bombing of Cambodia.
I did like the line about 'strengthening international relations', the reality is somewhat starker:
"Obama's National Security Adviser, former Marine commandant James Jones, has been an outspoken proponent of expanding NATO to the East and South, and also of converting NATO into a more flexible intervention force to "safeguard energy security," in the favored terminology."

I like how your putting inverted commas around prize makes it seem like one of the most prestigious awards in the world is some sort of tinpot enterprise. Good work. Did you write this?

haha. i just put it in quotes because i was too lazy to type out NOBEL PEACE...

i am not george bush. can i have a prize?

YO OBAMA I'M HAPPY FOR YOU AND I'MMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT EINSTEIN HAD ONE OF THE BEST NOBEL PRIZES OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME!















of all time.

"Yes"

"thank you!!!"

Such a premature adjudication.

ok, aknowledging the mood of the thread...

Nobel Prize in Physics winners just announced:

"Not" a "problem".

I'd like the Nobel committee to instigate a Nobel Prize for Angry Sex.

okay.



this is gay.


obama has done fuck all. particularly in the way of making peace with anyone.

oh wait. he did do something. now i remember why cigarettes cost like $11.
he's not making peace with us nicotine addicts.
but he's not a retarded cowboy. i'll give him that.

if I were that guy from Survivor that gives shoes to hungry biafrans, I'd be really fucked off right now.

doesn't he smoke himself?

What a load of bullshit. Who were the other finalists ... Satan (not ours - the other one) and Pol Pot??

yeah



fucking cunt

In his defense, doing nothing is about as peaceful as it gets.

crayons, i must spread more butter on more toast, but you crack me up every time

I heard about this on NPR this morning.

Least ways he talk good.

agreed. wasn't Oct 7 the 8th anniversary for an active and escalating war? Isn't the time table for Iraq 2012? Aren't there several escalating military hot spots like Korea, Columbia, Somalia and Pakistan? Is that really peace?

so now i'm putting together my facebook PALS' updates regarding the nobble and one executive officer swish swash oh my gosh B-Rack.

Thank Jesus for solving the hunger problems in Africa. Thank JESUS for enforcing order upon the chaos that is the gulf of aiDONE; thank the holy spirit for granting wildlife the ability to fuck up dumb mother fuckers: http://www.metro.co.uk/news/world/ar...&in_page_id=64

mmmph.. my pet will 4d12 you in the face?

Yayy Go Obama!

Obama rocks!

This is pretty lame. Wasn't Gandhi nominated like five times for a Nobel Peace Prize and never got one??? Why Obama? I mean, for fuck's sake, they're probably going increase troop levels in Afghanistan.

At least he was humble. In fact, he seemed more confused about it than anyone. His statement today was basically like, "Yeah... uh... not really sure why I got this thing!"
