Obama wins Nobel for peace.

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"

davenotdead 10.09.2009 12:01 PM

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

nicfit 10.09.2009 12:02 PM

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...

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."

"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?
