Well written piece Eddo! It will be interesting to see how this is perceived in the future. There are so many mixed signals on how peaceful Obama really is. I am thankful [God] isn't telling him to go blow up Iraq or Russia or Iran or North Korea. So far anyway.

I wonder if it was wired
months ago. I even wonder if the nomination was
back dated. I'll never know.

If nothing else, this
says that the international community views
President Obama in a much different light than
you.

[At
best, the Nobel elites are just a tiny fraction
of "the international community". The rest of
the international community is not quite as
ready to canonize Obama nine months into the
program. -ED]
The
international community
views Obama as failing or they wouldn't have
thrown such an overstuffed floatation device in
his direction. Their action simply
confirms that he is the new Neville Chamberlain,
an appeaser, a "peace in our time" speaker, but
not achiever. He has all but sent money to
Ahmadinejad's "cult of personality" club. A
better build up for such a fraud money can't
buy.

Congrats to President
Obama for winning this prestigious award. I use
the word "win" due to the fact that by any
stretch of the imagination he did not earn it.

The best part is that he
was nominated TWELVE days after taking office.
maybe EVERY new president gets an automatic
nomination after taking office?? I believe he
got the prize for making more public apologies
for everything from the Revolutionary War, to
landing a man on the moon.

Gee, Eddie disrespects
the office of the president once again. Well,
what a surprise!...This nobel peace prize is the
world's way of saying that eddie's degenerate
hero, the war criminals and world-class cretins,
George Bush and his dark master, DICK Cheney,
are out of office and are now back under the
slime-covered rocks they crawled out from--and
so are their pathetic neocon worldviews that
suspected EVERYONE not a part of their wretched
republican universe as being the ENEMY.
The world respects the fact that they no longer
have to deal with the ammoral, chicken-hawk
bullies that made up "BushCo, Inc., War
Profiteers."

[Obama was nominated for the award only 12 days
into his term. So he obviously inherited the
Nobel Peace Prize from GWB. Similarly, I have
inherited YOUR disrespect for "the office of the
president". -ED]
I also hear that Obama
will probably win the Heisman Trophy this year
too!

I would say the President
Obama deserves the Nobel Prize every bit as much
as Al Gore did...NOT AT ALL. It used to be
a very prestigious thing to win a Nobel Prize.
It seems more and more like a popularity
contest, run by VERY Biased Judges now.

The nobel prize has been
so cheapened and insignificant by giving it to
losers they should change the prize name to the
Door Knob Prize, "everyone gets a turn"...

No way do I believe obama
had anything to do with killing those
pirates..what probably happened was the snipers
did it from close by orders and the whitehouse
dufus took the credit....( they waited forever)

[As C-in-C it all trickles up and down to and from him. So in that particular case, the fact that he did nothing to screw up the operation gets him the credit and a pass. -ED]
...what it says is that five Norwegian socialists have confirmed what the rest of us already knew about Obama. He's a small "c" communist who's in over his head and he doesn't have the brains to know he's destroying a great country.

At a point the cult of personality becomes dangerous. And it should be obvious from this how much the whole world has bought into this. This will embolden them. Not good.

prize had to be postmarked by February 1, only
12 days after Obama took office. The committee
sent out its solicitation for nominations last
September, two months before Obama was elected

On 2
February 2001 on a nationally broadcast
TV show it was said that "everybody at the
Foreign Department went around saying that "now
you are going to meet with Bongo from Congo".
A Marxist, a racist, ties with the
scandalous Workers'
Youth League, another ACORN!!!, and the
man in charge of giving Obama his prize...., I
give you Thørbjorn
Jagland,
former Prime Minister of
Norway. Great job Obama, I guess this
means you put the stamp of approval on the Bongo
from
Congo term. Who has already applied it
to you?
