Had I not seen this already I would have thought it was a joke but its not.
Biggest...........Joke............Ever, nominated 11 days after he was inaugurated after spending the last 4 years of his life running for the Presidency. And his biggest decision to be made right now is whether to kill a sh!tload of Afghans or allow more deaths among US forces. PEACE my brutha......
Do ya think that Bill Clinton is pizzed????:rofl::rofl:
Here's the kicker. The nominations closed on Feb. 1st., a mere 10 days into his term!!
Don't forget the 1.5 million cash award that comes with it!!! I wonder if he'll just donate that to charity???
Maybe he'll slide it over to ACORN :rofl:

Let's remember your idols... those two great patriots who started these two 'armed occupations'.
And let me guess, you would b!tch if he was trying to withdraw from Afghanistan because it shows 'weakness'...
Josh Marshall gets it:
the unmistakable message of the award is one of the consequences of a period in which the most powerful country in the world, the 'hyper-power' as the French have it, became the focus of destabilization and in real if limited ways lawlessness. A harsh judgment, yes. But a dark period. And Obama has begun, if fitfully and very imperfectly to many of his supporters, to steer the ship of state in a different direction. If that seems like a meager accomplishment to many of the usual Washington types it's a profound reflection of their own enablement of the Bush era and how compromised they are by it, how much they perpetuated the belief that it was 'normal history' rather than dark aberration

I would. :sifone:
Jay, all the king's horses and all the kings Koolaid drinkers cannot make this one fly. Spending 4 years speaking about what you would like to do is not worthy of anything, even the Presidency. But hey, form over function, all that matters. And if the left all gets behind this and sings the praises, their credibility on the whole PEACE thing is gone.

I was under the obviously mistaken impression that Congress voted on those armed occupations. Yet he owns them now. It's the way that it goes. And he must have stopped ignoring the generals in theatre because he is elevating troop levels. This is an action that I approve of, yet I see the dichotomy in receiving a noble piece prize on a day that more Airborne are going in, not less. Kind of ironic. But he has spoken so much on the subject of hoping for change that it doesn't matter that we are still doing what we do... and what we did. Tactic: add men and guns. No change there.
Now I guess you will call me more names, and then when the name calling stops you will cut and paste somebody who makes a point that you need.
We have had some interesting conversations around here lately without people calling each other names and being insulting on a personal level. If you hadn't noticed that... please notice it now and adjust your debate style to fit the standards of the forum on which you post.
Happy Belated Birthday.

Sure, let's blame it on Congress now.

Ted, nobody on the left has any credibility with you anyway, so what difference does it make?
Sure, it's a bit of a surprise, and the reason I think it is is because the American people have been so preoccupied recently with our own economic problems that we have put much of the world's other issues to the back of our minds. But the rest of the world has not, and I think this is testament to the fact that Obama has made some real changes relative to the previous administration's horrendous policies and the world has taken notice.
On the global stage name someone who is better deserving.
