Obama Wins 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

[Guynemer]

Kids are kids, and they get sick all the time. It's what they do.

I remember going to the doctor once when I was sick when I was a kid. And a couple times when I had a concussion, and when a tore a ligament in my knee, during my sports days. Other than regular check-ups, that was it. It wasn't that I didn't get sick; it was that my parents had common sense. What the hell happened to that?

[SlowwHand]

Blame your generation. They're the ones that you're complaining about.

[Guynemer]

I know. ****ing *******s, the lot of 'em.

[SlowwHand]

I'm feeling a little crappy, myself. I intend to ignore it.

[Zkribbler]

All this in 9 days? Really?

It was 9 days for nominations, not for voting.

You either love him or you're an idiot. There's a difference. There are many idiots who are not racist. I imagine you're one of them.

It's very entertaining watching Obama-bashers running in circles while chewing their own legs off in anger over this. My favorite so far is Kuci calling Obama's very humble acceptance speech arrogant. Kuci lives in a bizarro world where up is down, war is peace, poverty is riches, and oppression is opportunity.

[Theben]

Did you even read what Kuci wrote, Z?

[Drake Tungsten]

I often wonder if Zkrib can actually read. A learning disability would explain a lot...

[Theben]

I've met Zkrib and he's a genuinely nice guy. However it seems the Bush presidency followed by the Obama one has unhinged him a bit.

[Drake Tungsten]

I was hoping Obama would heal people like Zkrib and Oerdin. Maybe even Ted Striker...

[Theben]

Ted Striker

[Heraclitus]

+1

There is no way he deserved this. But the peace prize is a joke anyway.

[Heraclitus]

Remember the op-ed pieces several months back about the resurrection of the Cold War. With Obama, it hasn't happened.

[Zkribbler]

Oh come on. You have to remember when Obama dispatched Hillary to Moscow with a "Reset" button, in order to reset US-Russian relations.

The "reset" label for the button was in Russian, and it was misspelled.


Now, let us examine the factual analysis of the Obama bashers. --What's this?!? There isn't any! They fail to explain how a single specified reason for the award, as supplied by the committee, is faulty. Are our critics such mental midgets that they cannot articulate a single error in the Committee's reasoning or judgment??

Fredrik S. Heffermehl, Norwegian lawyer, peace campaigner and writer of the book "Nobels vilje"(Nobel's will), has in that book from 2008 criticized the Nobel comitee's understanding of the will. He claimed yesterday on radio that the giving of the peace prize to Obama is premature, and that he so far haven't fulfilled the requirements given in Nobel's will.
