Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize, For What?
The world is expressing shock and surprise at the news that Barack Obama has won a Nobel Peace Prize. It seems the Nobel Prize has become as cheap and meaningless as a MTV Moon Man trophy: they’re giving them out to just anyone now.
The Times Online called the Nobel decision “absurd” and said it “makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize.”
Instead the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronizing in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.
According to ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, one White House aide scoffed at the news, saying “It’s not April 1, is it?”
The deadline for submitting candidates for a peace prize is February 1st. Meaning Barack Obama was nominated just 11 days after being in office. Ridiculous!
Here are just a few headlines gleaned from Drudegreport.com:
MIXED REVIEWS; ‘EMBARRASSING JOKE’…
White House Aide: ‘It’s Not April 1st, Is It?’…
PAPER: This makes mockery of peace prize…

FAVOR aint FAIR!
Gon’ brush ya shoulders off
My apologizes in advance for 3 icons please n thank you
Congrats President Obama.
I don’t know what to say
WHY WAS MY COMMENT ERASED? CONGRATS TO OBAMA. WHEN GOD HAVS FAVOR FOR YOU, THERE IS NO ONE OR NOTHING THAT CAN CHANGE IT.
“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,” the committee said. “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.”
Okay
I am not his number 1 fan but they say they are rewarding him for his work previous to the white house so
WTF smile is that daisy lol

F*ck the head scratching world. How ’bout that?
President Obama is the first president in decades that has said he will sit down with our enemies rather than dismiss them out of hand because of cultural and ideological differances. Just sitting down with Iraq has netted progress. North Korea is becoming more cooperative. He fought all the way to the top job to make his vision a reality. Sure his haters are fighting him tooth and nail, but he keeps fighting for world cooperation if not peace. So hell yeah he deserves this. Again……
F*ck the haters. Do you Mr. President and congratulations!!!!!
Morning yall
Well, hate it or love it he’s leaving his footpritns all up and down the history books.
Congratulations President Obama
@ daisy I dont think everyone’s computer shows the code when you put your pointer over it (at least mines didn’t)

Ah haha Auntie, even you can’t take away this win, how does it feel to have all your thoughts and comments stepped on and ignored he got what was due to him anyway. He shi**ing on all you haters.
johnlegend For those who think he doesn’t deserve it, fine. But a useful question is who do you think should get it? Who had more impact this year?
I am with John Legend on this one.
Daisy thanks, that is what I did, maybe it’s just not meant for me to do the smilies….:sad: *see if this works*
MY COMMENT WAS 1ST AND ERASED AS WELL

THEY CAN’T HOLD U DOWN 
@Munch you had dancing its dance and you cant have a . in front of the : or it wont work either above you had .:sad: vs : sad : w/o the spaces
Singing “Get that dirt off your shoulders”
I’m from Chicago and for the person that said he couldn’t bring peace to his own city…….is absurd. He did a lot for the underprivileged people in Chicago before running for any office! One man can’t change the damn world. We are all responsible for doing our part. We will always find the negative in something that should be positive and wonder why black folks can’t get ahead. SMDH!
okay Daisy
I see now Daisy,
:thumbup:
It only does certain smilies I see.
iTS A GREAT FEAT CONSIDERING HE COULDNT BRING peace in the state in which he came from…that makes alot of sense..i get it now..
*********************************************************** @ flyqtnva…..Let’s not make the assumption that he is the only person responsible for bringing peace to Chicago. Parents need to be involved, churchs, the elected officals in that area, community organizations, sororites and frats, all those people that make up the community are responsible. We have to take care of our own.
Munch check the souljah boy post sandra re posted the link with approved smileys
does this one still work?
gonna get me some presidential in honor of the POTUS.
gone head.
ahhh….there he go….gone head lil rasta man. dance. ^^^
He didn’t even ask for the award and yet the hate still comes. There really are some bitter people in this world. I think hate of others is basically hate of yourself.
@dcwife1622
WHY DOES IT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE BLACK PEOPLE DONT SUPPORT EACH OTHER…its not that…i just dont do BANDWAGONS…peace to middle east huh? no nuclear weapons? am i missing something? when did the peace come…isnt it supposed to be peace b4 the prize??
and the same black people yall chose to support are the same ones trying to JUMP OFF THE SHIP…they dont want to be around YOU….BUT YOU SUPPORT THEM
Hello all. So true Shannon, so true, Obama didn’t ask for this prize yet the hate continues. By the way, he’s only the 3rd President to receive this prestigious award and Obama receiving it does not deminish it’s value, just adds to it. THE WORLD LOVES OBAMA and this is good cause when Bush was in office, the world hated America. LOVE MAKES the world go round, corny but true.
and the key words are a dead give away in the article… he is a WORLD LEADER… BOUGHT HOPE TO THE WORLD.. GLOBAL BLAH BLAH BLAH AND they lost me….he is not a “WORLD” leader he is the leader of the United States…i wish the stop doing that…i want the US to remain as it is..not to become a part of A WORLD government….
And you know I love my
sometimes i think Sandra and some of yall too work for fox news….
or as we call it…”faux news” pronouncing the X….
cause they on spewing some of this same mess rat now!
@ Shannon, thank you!
I’m not sure of why he was nominated, but Bird said it nicely. All I can say is Congrats. Why the hate??
