the Nobel Comittiee just responded for the "why" "Some people say - and I understand it - 'Isn't it premature? Too early?' Well, I'd say then that it could be too late to respond three years from now," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, told the AP. "It is now that we have the opportunity to respond - all of us." Read more at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/09/nobel-prize-to-obama-defe_n_316098.html I don't get how it would be too late if it's awarded on achievements. IMO it would mean more if I got it for something I actually did. I just don't get the whole thing and not something I'm going to have a party for  if he had won it based on achievements...then woo hoo go BHO sometimes I wonder how much we know. Or don't know. And how much others - in higher official positions- know, compared to us, simple average people. Ever wondered about that, Kim? Seriously...no conspiracy theories here, but lately the tensions regarding the Afghanistan and Iran is getting very tense and the worst thing we need is a nuclear war. Proof: 99% of USa didn't know how close they got to a nuclear war in the 60s, when Kennedy managed to negotiate peace and the time it was before a nuclear holocaust: 10 minutes. Ever seen the movie " 13 Days" ?  huh???? I'm sure they do know more than we know. I can only go on what I know. I just don't get it myself...but oh well Did you see the news about Israel considering to launch figher jets to bomb the Iranian nuclear sites? They just bought 2 new submarines too, meanwhile Iran just threatened that it will level Israel if they dare to try any moves. Meanwhile US troosp in the region, and China is investing in Iran and the US tryng to put sanctions on Iran and Russia is supplying air defense weapons to Iran. Now put it together. and???? |

the Nobel Prize committee is kinda weird
they didnt give Jimmy Carter a Peace Prize when he negotiated peace between Israel and Egypt but then they gave him one because George Bush was invading Afghanistan and Iraq (as a political nudge they said) |

President Obama tries to get the Olympics in the USA, IOC chooses Rio. Conservative Americans are dancing and cheering.  President Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize. Conservative Americans attack him.  WTF? They seem to Hate President Obama more than they Love this country. He does not deserve this prize and even your foes can be right sometimes . The prize should go to those who work for peace and not for those who follow G.W. Bush foot steps . This is a blow to this crap of Noble Peace Prices....as the organisation lost ALL credibility in the eyes of the world ......  .

what did he do in 10 days to deserve it???? I hope he can live up to it. if he doesn't then it reflects on the country. but he didn't earn it...it was more of an honorary thing That's your view, but that doesn't mean it was decided on actions with in that 10 days. That fact that he got it also reflects on this country, so why can't we just be happy that our president got that award and wait and see what happens? It's an opinion that he didn't earn it. Many thought he did, me included. Some one's opinion that it was honorary is interesting and plausible but we might never know. I'm not proud because of why he got it...basically a wake up call to get things in gear...not because it was earned as president. You do not know that for a fact though, Rose. So why cling to it as if it where true? Of course you can if you wish, but I dont' see .. oh never mind, I need to go get sweets, i'm having withdrawls. |

Obama is a sign of change for the world outside of this country. He signified an end to tyranny from us. Yes, we are percieved in ways we would not even imagine in the world.
They are showing their support of him. That is not a bad thing. Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all, And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm. I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me. Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886) Source: 101 Great American Poems |

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 It is a put down when the man gets one of the highest awards and all you can repeat is that he didn't earn it. I think if you said that of me, I would be pretty hurt by that, though I am stubborn and wouldn't give you the satisfaction.. grin! So it's just a tad disingenuous of you to say you don't agree with putting him down, no? |

If the committee feels he deserves it and gives it to him isn't our job as American citizens to applaud? I would applaud if he earned it. just handing it to someone slaps others in the face that earned it. if he won it by his merit...I would to say way to go and be proud. he didn't earn it I kinda doubt anyone worthy of such an honor would be the petty type, it's not a slap in the face at all. They are just as worthy of it as they were before. To millions out there it was on merit, just not the kind you apply. Oops. I think I said that already. to me people like Gandhi and others like that in the past earned it through their actions. And I would agree that BHO earned it if he has done something but nothing had been done at the time the voting closed. If after a year....2...3...whatever...his actions showed he tried to do something...then yes give it to him and I would be proud of that....but nothing had been done yet Your not seeing the bigger picture here, and I'm getting writers cramp trying to get you to see another angle.

So it's just a tad disingenuous of you to say you don't agree with putting him down, no? maybe to you...I don't mean it to put him personally down. I just said he hadn't earned it yet and I have said I'd be very proud if he had been in office and done something to earn it. I have no problem with him personally even if I don't agree with policies...I just don't think he was in office long enough to do anything...good or bad. I don't see him to blame either. sooooo???? I think the award was premature....nothing more. there is plenty of time to give it to him after being in office more than 10 days putting him down (to me) would be something like he could never earn it or something like that. |

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.  No one is bashing for an honest point of view just saying the point of view is too narrow. |

geeez.....let's just say I haven't seen him do enough to have earned the award. if others want to celebrate it...great...go for it. I don't think he earned it and tired of going in circles myself. I don't give a hairy rat's azz if others want to be proud...I don't think he earned it and when he does...then I'll be happy for him

You're right, but if you go through the thread ever since the morning, there was another article or maybe even 4-5 more saying that he didn't get it for his 10 day performance. |
