Look at the wiki page about the Nobel Peace prize.

Ok, I looked. Obama doesn't belong on the list.
My opinion.
Seems the committee is working on "hope" criteria instead of
established work as in the past.
Maybe he'll justify it in the end, but the "rules" have certainly
changed.
BTW, John Paul II, the Polish Pope, should be on that list.
He exuded peace and love, and spread it where ever he went.

You're right he might or might not, but most presidents have
far-reaching
impact. GWB is an example. Not for good, but his impact on the world
was
large.

I don't think you're a bad person. If I implied that, it was

I don't know if he deserved it or not. He got it. We should be proud
that
the Nobel committee thinks so highly of him. That hasn't been case of
recent presidents.

Maybe it was really the NoBalls award.

You gotta love her logic.

"We should all be proud of nomdeplum because Harry thinks shes the
cat's meow."

That would be a worthy idea except that Harry's 'blessing' now carries
about as much weight as that of the Nobel Committee.
Got news for you - she's not a she.


Got news for you - you're no better than Jim.

You don't know either one of us, sweetie.
It's amazing how much you and Harry are alike.
Be careful of that temper. It'll give you away.

I love logic. Try reading what I posted again. Are you or are you not proud
that the world thinks better of us? If so, then what diff does it make who
got what award. If not, why not?

What?

Tom's wrong. That can *only* be a female.

Be kind, you are talking to a dying dinosaur. The white male, the base
of the GOP, once ruled this land, but no longer. The demographics are
clear. If it doesn't change, the GOP is dead. Just look at some of the
results of the 2006 Congressional Elections.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1891803/posts

The GOP can survive, but only if it becomes more inclusive, a doubtful
proposition.

The GOP, unless it can figure out a way to capture the hearts and
minds of illegal aliens, will most likely not survive. Once the
liberals can figure out a way to grant amnesty to the illegals, they
will have won the battle. We will have a one-party system. At that
point, it will be 'press one for English', or learn Spanish.

Got news for you - she's not a she.

hesheit's got the logic often used by 'she's'

So does Jim Hertvik but I'm not positive yet that she is he. I'm waiting
for hesheit to explode. That'll give us better insight into the
personality. My candidates are hertvik, jps, and gould in that order.

Can not be jps as the posts are not including foul language.

special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack

Barack Hussein Obama - he's worthy of the Peace Prize for doing
nothing.

Good points. Too bad they made the Peace prize a joke.

--Vic


Why? Because it's not completely unusual for the prize to be awarded to
promote change...

Never saw that before.

Because our "new" friend Nom de Harry just made it up... Does that
surprise you?

Seems past winners had solid past
accomplishments in the "peace" arena.
Even Arafat, though he proved intransigent in the end.

Who do you think is likely to have a greater impact...

Obama MIGHT in the future, and he might not.
Common prudence says look at the above list first.
Genuine work and sacrifice. Sadat won I think, and paid dearly.
I'm far from an expert on it and don't pay much attention.
That this award strikes me as silly doesn't make me a bad person.
