WTF is up with that??? The man had barely been in office for 2 weeks and that earns him this prize????Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00824379647422757392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724637705628754206.post-69809553823836033022009-10-11T11:53:11.364-04:002009-10-11T11:53:11.364-04:00I am the only one who noticed the line "We ca...I am the only one who noticed the line "We can go back and talk about Bush all we want, but the track that he was on was not all that bad"? Are you kidding? I sure hope so. I thought it was common knowledge at this point that Bush is an immature, empty-headed puppet concerned with popularity and little else. He ran this country into the ground in more ways than I can count on ten fingers. He would NEVER have been even considered for a Nobel Peace Prize, and although I agree that Obama's nomination is premature, the important thing to consider is the direction he is moving in. People hating on him for winning a peace prize?

Looking at the other ...Perhaps Obama deserves this.<br />Looking at the other recipients, the Nobel Peace Prize seems to have become the international "Participated" ribbon. 'Yay, you showed up, good for you!' It kinda looks like they're handing the water-bottle to the marathoner at the 1 1/2 mile mark, with some encouraging words, so Obama's just the man for this honour!Will Burkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10158149526658590324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724637705628754206.post-56653056988387475372009-10-09T21:13:30.686-04:002009-10-09T21:13:30.686-04:00Okay So I follow @BestAt on Twitter and this is wh...Okay So I follow @BestAt on Twitter and this is what I read this morning.<br /><br />"RT @badbanana: Didn't win a peace prize.

Yes, i confess that I am SO irritated at Obama getting the Peace Prize. He is, whichever way you look at it, the most powerful man on the planet...striving for peace is part of his job, he shouldn't get a bloody prize for whatever he does in the pursuit of world peace, it should be a GIVEN.<br /><br />I'm really immensely cross about it actually. I'm not saying he's not making impressive moves in the right direction, just that what he's doing is what we expect of him and, presumably, part of the reason the American public voted for him. There are others, surely, more worthy...who are making strides towards peace in difficult circumstances, without being paid to do so, because they are deeply passionate about it and (controversial I know) aren't driven, at least a little bit, by the hope of re-election (steps off soap box).<br /><br />That's my confession.

I am not saying the guy isn't capable and he doesn't have the potential to accomplish many great things. However, I think maybe he should ACTUALLY DO GREAT THINGS before we start handing out the accolades. I am not being partisan wither. When I made a commentary on face book about the video that came out singing his praise a lot of people attacked me. I said you tell me what he has done so far. something he is directly responsible for fixing or accomplishing and I will write the fucking song write now, sing it and post it on the internet. I got no replies.~DokterKennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08460323110926747328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8724637705628754206.post-60335418817751622282009-10-09T12:14:17.826-04:002009-10-09T12:14:17.826-04:00That rocks!!!
