To be fair he's only been in office for nine months but the fact still remains. Must have been a thin pool to draw from for these Norwegians.

RB Posted October 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) I want one too! well do just nothing and you just might be rewarded. what a farce! I am so disappointed. If I am doing my thesis now based on some likely possibility that my models make a difference in the future can I have one of those for economics. I feel like people who really work hard have nothing to strive for Edited October 14, 2009 by RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defence of Obama, you could say his campaign across Europe and the Middle East would have helped him out. But surely there must have been someone else.

weareone Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 At least he didn't get it for economics No, but he did get it and probably deserves it more than others who have received it. Let's face it, attaining peace in the world is isimpossible, but anyone who puts a foot forward and tries, certainly deserves something for their efforts.

Sir Bandelot Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 At least he didn't get it for economics No, but look who did. Another American. Probably one of those whose ideas lead to this same economic collapse, dragging down others around the world... Congratulations for that one too! Nobel prize?

Sir Bandelot Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Brilliant is giving the nobel peace prize to a man who has just recently threatened Iran with war, who already stepped up the troop levels (and consequently violence) in Afghanistan and is now considering how best to escalate the war even further in Afghanistan. And said he's not interested in ending the "war" on drugs either. Even more brilliant is getting all sorts of people emotionally hyped up over his image, believing he is unilaterally going to make an about-face in US foreign policy. Deluded people, we should have seen this coming Obama's foreign policy role models? March 29th 2008 GREENSBURG, Pa. - Sen. Barack Obama said Friday he would return the country to the more "traditional" foreign policy efforts of past presidents, such as George H.W. Bush, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan no less... Isn't he hailed as the grandfather of the US Neocon movement? Oh yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Deluded people, we should have seen this coming What do you mean...it's not like you had any choice in the matter.

scribblet Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Actually it shouldn't have been too surprising considering the adoration he's given from the left. Knowing that this committee pretty much lists to port side, it shouldn't be surprising that they are using this prize as a means of furthering their own agenda, via Obama.

What did you think was going to happen when Obama became POTUS? Many Americans did not vote for him, but he is still their president. When Obi-Wan became POTUS, I watched the show and was somewhat amused, and a little amazed by peoples hyperactive response. On the one side, an almost rabid love for the guy. On the other, an equal an opposite reaction., rabid hate. I put the one response to the fact that people want to hope, they want to believe in a messiah who will save the world. The others had their world come apart. Some were depressed, shell shocked, devastated. I have seen this sort of thing a few times before, like when we hire a new CEO and we hear all the accolades and the applause and the hopes. Next day its just business as usual. So I know But to those poor souls who flew so high up towards Obama heaven, their lofty expectations melted wings now tumbling down and crashing to earth. Welcome to sunshine of your disillusionment, which is called, reality. Edited October 18, 2009 by Sir Bandelot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bush_cheney2004 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 ....But to those poor souls who flew so high up towards Obama heaven, their lofty expectations melted wings now tumbling down and crashing to earth. Welcome to sunshine of your disillusionment, which is called, reality. One can further separate those rubes from the calculating party faithful who knew the difference between winning an election and leading the United States when faced with the burden(s) of office and governance. The "disillusioned" never made the transition....they are still in Black Jesus campaign mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And being a "mulatto" in your opinion is wrong? Maybe you think that the Irish and the Germans should have never intermarried. Or the Poles and English or any other combination of cultures that intermarry. Or is your only gripe that it is black and white that should not marry and if it is, then you must be considered a racist, unless you have another explanation. NYT did a breakdown of the ancestry of Michelle Onama. Her great, great, great grandmother gave birth to a "mulatto". Seeing that her great, great, great grandmother was a black slave, how did she give birth to a "mulatto." I would suggest it was rape by either the white slave overseer or the white slave owner. But then I am sure you condone rape under any circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
