What does it say about the state of our country when we will not accept the honor given our president as just that an honor? If the committee feels he deserves it and gives it to him isn't our job as American citizens to applaud? I don't think its a duty to be applaud it. But if on is smart, no matter what I thought of it I wouldn't be putting him down for getting it. Why? Because it just makes those who do look petty and small. If I were the Republicans I wouldn't put my image further in the toilet by acting like children about it. Goes for the other side too had Bush won it. I don't agree with putting him down. He isn't to blame at all. I just wish he would have earned it...but it's just my opinion that he didn't earn it  That's all this boils down to, he just didn't earn it. Whether I can't stand the man or not, he doesn't deserve it. Even some democrats say he doesn't earn it so bashing us conservatives for giving our honest opinion is hmmmm...... I'll be nice.  Can anyone give consistent examples,,based on the founders ideas and the commonality of past awardees,,how the award is EARNED? I see it as a man who has a GLOBAL platform (not just in their own country) spreading a message of hope and peace, and also having a history of actions that indicate he is dedicated to and sincere about that hope and willing to put the work in to be a part of it,, as he has urged a GLOBAL audience to do. Many people do great things for their own and that is noble and Im sure some of those have received awards. Obama has done something on a Global scale where peace and hope are concerned, and he deserves it as well. With your post it almost like that your trying to convince yourself that obama earned or deserved this award. All that this award has done is tie obama's hands and make us being the U.S look weaker in the world's eyes.Yes, I do give him credit for his never ending talking and speeches of "hope and change" BUT, that's all it is...talk. He can not or since it's too late, shouldn't have recieved this award. M.L.K, earned that award, Princess Di eared the award, The Dilai Lama eared that award as well. Now you are suggesting that obama has the right to even be mentioned in the same company??????? |

"There will be peace in our time" And the winner of the prize goes to Quietman  Why you ask because he said there will be world peace. Hey shouldn't the miss America women who want world peace get a prize to? Not really, because they dont actually REACH out beyond their pageant areas to do much difference GLOBALLY. As a president, OBama has and takes opportunties to reach out in efforts of diplomacy to more than just his fellow citizens but citizens of the world and I am very proud for him on this day. jeez I was hoping SOMEBODY had studied world history in high school and would recognize that quote |

It was Neville Chamberlain, Prime Minister of England. He went to meet with Hitler and at that meeting conveyed to Hitler that England and France would not honor their defense treaties with Czechoslovakia and wouldn't interfere if Hitler invaded the Sudetenland
and he told the news media after that meeting, "There will be peace in our time" about a year later Hitler invaded Poland and Hungary and France |

I just found this piece of news on New York Times:
One questioner in the audience asked Mr. Axelrod to share the president’s initial, unvarnished reaction when he learned about winning the Nobel Prize. Mr. Axelrod said that the White House press secretary, Robert Gibbs, woke Mr. Obama with the news. “What are you talking about?” Mr. Obama said, according to Mr. Axelrod. “Is this a joke?” http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/10/10/obama-adviser-warns-against-quick-decisions-on-afghanistan/ Amazingly he also thought it was a joke. |

[/quote Your attitude is so negative I don't know why anyone would really care that you find it undeserved. There are so many people in our country and the world that are happy that he recieved it, so it really doesn't matter that you insist he didn't deserve it. It's done already. |
