C'mon libs - even you have to see that this is at best premature. The man has talked about a lot of stuff, said a lot of the right things, but hasn't backed much up in the way of action.

See, Speeches do matter.

















And one last time to say Bush sucks

Nobel group must be desprate to give it to someone who has done nothing.

He litterally had done nothing when he was nominated. This was something burried at the bottom of the artile



The deadline for nominations must be postmarked by February 1 each year. Obama was inaugurated on January 20.




He was nominated based on 11 days of work? What in the fuck did he do in those 11 days? I'm pretty sure he hasn't done shit in 10 months, let a lone 11 days.

You guys that don't like Obama must be racist

[Rob Iola]

The sad irony is that his legacy will include the reTalibanification of Afghanistan and a nuclear Iran, and possibly a pan-Arabian war started by Israel bombing Iran.

But at least he'll have a shiny trophy on his mantle...

I don't blame Obama for getting an award that he didn't deserve

Not the speeches, but the politics. The NPP has become a political award. That should have been apparent when Al Gore won it.

And $1.4M prize money.....

Nah, he'll probably donate it to ACORN...

I thought this thread was a joke, and then I saw the news. The only explanation I have is this:

When Obama went to Denmark to pitch the Olympics, he accidentally went to Sweden instead, so they gave him a medal.

Get ready for it:

2012 Obama/Gore Vote Nobel!

Why am I not shocked at the reaction to his win here?



All legitimate gripes. Congrats Obama!

[HI54UNI]

No surprise. The Nobel prize jumped the shark when they gave it to Arafat.

[Ivytalk]

Absolutely ridiculous. Our Empty-Suit-in-Chief hasn't overseen the dismantling of a single nuclear device; has brokered no disarmament treaty; is hell-bent on selling Israel down the river; and refuses to stand up to Ahmanuttajob and his scruffy, hygienically-challenged cohorts in Iran who are on a breakneck pace to get the bomb. Barry's slick platitudes popped the Europeans' cherry this year. What a freakin' joke.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?

What a joke!

Today I am embarrassed for the stupidity of the Western World and the counterproductivity that will be caused by this "prize."
