The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.
Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.
Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.
For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world’s leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama’s appeal that “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.”
sO..WHATS THE PROBLEM…
EVERYTIME THIS MAN DOES ANYTHING ITS A DANG PROBLEM! GOODNESS
I VOTED YES & the media can kiss my juicy, black ass
Yessss I aint mad at him, I mean its like when rihanna won that grammy should she have said, “no take it back because I can’t sing don’t write my own songs and suck and **** for tracks”
Exactlyyyy
So I think obama should accept it
I absolutely think he deserves it. let me explain…
THIS MAN HAS ENDURED MONTHS AND MONTHS OF SCRUTINY AND MISDIRECTED CRITICISM. HE DESERVES IT FOR NOT HAVING THE CIA,SECRET SERVICE, AND EVERY BRANCH OF THE MILITARY PUT SOME LEAD IN ALL YOU MUTHAPHUCKERS THAT WONT LET HIM PISS OR SNEEZE WITHOUT HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT.
That’s what I think…
AMEN @ Divinebrown
i wonder who voted hail to the no….
He deserves it if for no other reason than that he kept his peace when he didn’t slap the crap out of theat idiot from SC for shouting “you lie” in the middle of his speech. People need to stop hating on the brother. If the committee thought enough of him to award him the prize…then everybody else needs to STFU!
OFF TOPIC
but i read on tmz that usher called the cops on tameka for scratching up one of his cars. lol
guess he shouldnt have made that song =/
The Noble prize people themselves said lets just give it to him…lol…obama said he didnt deserve it…
Basically they gave it to him IN HOPES that he will EVENTUALLY EARN IT!
AMEN To Jessie #10
People need to stop hating on the brother. If the committee thought enough of him to award him the prize…then everybody else needs to STFU!
@LJ going to that site now thanks
Hey Goat have fun this weekend
I voted YES - primary reason isn’t on him as President but him as a MAN. Sandra did you read his book? He is one of the greatest motivational speakers EVER! When has a person impacted so many people on such a GRAND scale? People cared about this election, took notice and actually were MOVED one way or another. I am not speaking on the election promises but I am SPEAKING on how he campaigned. He is charismatic and deserves this for how he OPERATED as a MAN. He is more than humble and deserving of this Sandra.
Sandra Mae Rose! i am still reviewing the list of emoti’s cause there are alot of new ones since the last time….you are on time out for some….but THIS one…takes the cake.
KONA >>>>>>
you shoulda named him darryl strawberry, lawrence taylor, robert downey jr….janice dickinson (insert famous snorter here)
LMAO @ Laydee … I boycott TMZ .. so can you give me short version of what Meka did?
@ FLY That is the dumbest thing that I have ever heard, in hopes that he will eventually earn it? Is it like me giving my daughter a cookie and telling her this is in hopes that she will earn it by not peeing on mommy’s floor but in the potty?
President Barack hasn’t done anything worthy yet and I’m not hating on him but the Chinese dissidents the Afghan lady fighting for women’s rights were all great possible winner’s but PRESIDENT OBAMA?
I’m rooting for him, and I’m not a DEM or a REPUG but I mean really real is real, it’s not HATING on my part…
Iyonah
That is why I voted for him I like him as a MAN the govt will always be the govt Washington is not going to change the rich will get richer and the poor sadly will become poorer. He is not a saviour and NEVER procalimed to be one he is a MAN.
I will continue to
for my President and his family!
I find the smiley’s cheat cheat ….
>:(
Sandra how come you are taking a poll about this ish, as if this will chang your opinion about our prez
Well anyways I voted back to my regular schedule
sorry iyonah i cant copy and paste tmz site from my phone. im sure sandra will post it in a few. anything to make tameka look bad. lol
WHERE’S MY 32OZ SUPERSIZED GLASS OF KOOL-AID WITH ICE CUBES? I’m glad he won, amazing how the more he’s hated the more good happens for him. He was chosen for inspiring peace, and change. Now who else has done that on a global scale?
Don’t KNOW about the hater-thing… I GUESS it’s a matter of that person’s perspective to some degree
But the STFU because one’s opinion is different than the over-whelming majority (WTF is that ALL ABOUT) Wasn’t one of this country’s founding liberties FREE SPEECH ??? Am I Missing something because if so PLEASE Enlighten Me
Didn’t vote because His nomination along with winning and possibly accepting HIS AWARD doesn’t affect me one bit… If this award is something that HE cherishes then MORE POWER to him (Kudos to The President of the U.S.)
I totally agree @ scorpio.
“He was chosen for inspiring peace, and change. Now who else has done that on a global scale?”
E Love …
iyonah …
How have you been?
Hanging in there the BEST I can AND doing my best to make it through these trying times… The WORLD is vastly becoming a Very Hateful & Un-Loving society as a whole !!!
What ABOUT you-n-yours Ms. Lady ???
It will still be his even if he doesnt accept it - right??
The WORLD is vastly becoming a Very Hateful & Un-Loving society as a whole !!!
WE are awesome! She is 2 now and just a STAR!!
i will not even dignify the poll. nobel prizes are not pulled out of a grab bag. a LOT of thought and consideration goes into both the nomination and award processes. if he got it, he EARNED it in the committee’s collective mind and it’s theirs to give. that’s why people hate america. we’re so ignorant!
