Also, in articulating an incisive and conclusive point about this discussion.

There is one fact that is relevant here;in the light of the statement below: "The Nobel Price should be based on actions, not promises." In principle one agrees with this; however, just to cite a fact: Mahatma Gandhi Never received it; nor was he ever nominated, or was in the reckoning for it. Perhaps, if the Nobel Prize Committee would enlighten us on the criteria to receive the Peace prize;it would certainly go a long way, hopefully, in providing clarity to the issue at hand.

You said that the rest of the world "supported" him. My mistake. The point was not what adjective I used, and apparently misquoted, but rather your use of generalization. I notice that you failed to answer the questions I posed to you, and instead chose to spit mindless rhetoric back at me. Because you can't answer a simple question, you'd rather make derogatory statements. To be quite honest, my dear, I don't pay much attention to party affiliation. I have voted for both Democrats AND Republicans. I do not side with one or the other because both have very distinct flaws in their thinking, in my opinion. You are correct, agreeing on everything written, or said for that matter, is absurd. Differing opinions is what this country is all about. Maybe you should remember that the next time you start to slam Republicans, or anyone else who has an opinion different from yours. Christy,

Explain to me why this deserves the NPP...please. Yes, it was an incredible moment in our nation's history to have elected a minority as president. I completely agree on that account. But I certainly don't think he deserved the NPP for it. Yes, he made some pretty incredible promises during his campaign, and maybe his election to office did change the way many foreigners view Americans. But where in all of this argument are the actual instances where President Obama actually DID anything?? He chose to run and he talked a good game. But he hasn't had enough time to accomplish anything. @Frameofreference

Its amazing how the way we word a statement or sentence can completely change the meaning. The policy Obama repelled was a ban on US Aid for abortions. This ban was inacted to keep US tax dollars from paying for abortions in foreign countries and now thanks to Obama we now pay for the abortions. The news media has never given George W. Bush credit for the $15 billion ( more then any other president) Bush sent to combat AIDS. Thanks to Bush, deaths in Africa are down dramatically. For that reason, despite claims that America’s moral standing in the world has eroded, Bush’s approval rating in African countries has stood at 80 percent or higher.

The fact that you actually think Obama earned the Nobel Prize proves otherwise. Your attacks on republicans and George W. Bush also shows you have your nose so far up the left wing liberals and dumb fuck movie stars asses you can't see past their bullshit. As suggested by the Times of London, the award to Obama was an obvious slap in the face of President Bush. And what did Bush do to deserve the enmity of the Nobel Committee? He toppled a man who had killed 300,000 people and liberated 50 million people. Because of Bush, Saddam’s regime no longer inflicts torture on Iraqis by having electric prods attached to their genitals or by giving them acid baths. It no longer drills holes in their ankles and skulls. It no longer leaves them naked in refrigerators for days. It no longer cuts out their tongues and cuts off their ears. Nor does it force Iraqi men to watch gang rapes of their wives and sisters. Because of Bush, Afghan women can now attend school. They are free to go out in public without being accompanied by a man. They are allowed to hold jobs. Moreover, because of the $15 billion Bush sent to combat AIDS, deaths in Africa are down dramatically. For that reason, despite claims that America’s moral standing in the world has eroded, Bush’s approval rating in African countries has stood at 80 percent or higher. Those are real accomplishments worthy of a Nobel Prize. Most of you Bush Bashers don't even know why you hate him, all you know is what your liberal news media spews out . You have no idea how to think for yourselves. Christy, I can tell by the way you speak that you actually think of yourself as intelligent.

Please try not to speak for the rest of the world when you do not know what you are talking about. I never said anything about everyone else "loving him". You must be Beth in disguise ;) I love people who have nothing more than to misquote people, rant and rave and then try to pass it off like they made a point...how can you make a point if you have the facts wrong to begin with???!! I'm sorry sarcasm club people...did I make you uncomfortable?? Isn't that the purpose of the whole community anyway..to stir up controversy and poke fun at all the stupidity in the world around us and..yikes...within our own community....in a mature (except for DB, who had to resort to childish name calling) manner? If we were to agree on everything written we would just be mindless slaves...if I wanted that then I would have joined the republican party ;) oops.. Mary ,

I don't, and I'm pretty sure I'm a part of "the rest of the world." The point of this subject is not whether or not anyone LIKES President Obama, but whether or not he should have won the Nobel Prize. I am astonished, truly flabbergasted, that he won. He had been in office for TWO WEEKS when the nominations took place, and he's been in office less than a year and won. Please tell me exactly what he has done so far to have earned the Nobel Peace Prize. So far, he has talked a pretty good game, but that's about it. This has NOTHING to do with race, and everything to do with the absurdity behind nominating ANYONE who hasn't yet had the chance to make real, LASTING changes. Christy,
