Thread: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Can't you guys just accept the fact that we have a Nobel Peace Prize winner in the White House now? And that many around the world--not just those in the U.S. that voted for him, appreciate that?

Sheese.

GET OVER IT.

This is our President, and every American should be proud. Whether you agree or disagree with the selection of the Nobel Peace Prize committe, the fact is they have selected him.

Congratulations, Mr. President.

Yes, we can.

It's okay james, you don't have to champion the President. He's a grown man and can accept political BS better than you can.

Don't we still have, for the time being, the freedom to freely express our opinions and view. The last I looked this is still the USA and not the ussa. Sheesh, don't get in such a hurry.

Wow,

I'm speechless, Congrats to you Mr. President. I am totally amazed that an unbiased, non-political organization would pick a guy that has basically just gotten started in his worldly career.

I hope you can use this recognition to instigate change and stop all the civil unrest at all those town meetings and tea parties that are plaguing the U.S. Oh, and sorry for not meeting your deadline on closing Gitmo, I know you are trying. Oh, and thanks for looking at the extra troops in Afghanistan....I know Pakistan loves you for it.

Oh wait, you probably want to get started closer to home and stop all that in-fighting with Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, but it should be easy since you have been bring the whole world together.

Oh, and get President Carter over for a beer...you two are equals now.....

Congrats again!

P.S. Can you donate the prize to a bill writer that can actually use normal English rather than Legal Speak? Might help get that HealthCare passed.

• Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human rights and democracy only after they have proven successful.

Fact: More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments.

To all Prise and Glory be Given to GOD - who alone gives us our freedom and the ability to comprehend whatever can possibly be grasped -- and through the Abilities we pocess because of God - we most certainly have the genuine 'Freedom to freely express our opinions and views'

BUT - LET THIS FREEDOM deliver us 'out of darkness' the darkness that keeps us from seeing the truth ....

the TRUTH is -- A NOBEL PEACE PRIZE -- is perhaps the Greatest Honor that can be achieved by any person on our planet ~ SO let us all be willing to be 'objective' to soften up a little and accept Obama with greater acceptance and appreciation.

The last I looked this is still the USA and not the ussa. Sheesh, don't get in such a hurry.

I am only in a hurry --- to see everyone more in harmony -- finding things all of us can unanimously celebrate in.

Our President - the First Black President of the United States ---- the One who took Charge at the Worst Possible Time ...

has WON - the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE !!


Good ta see ya back CB ---- been missin' ya

Let's please not forget it's not his fault. Poor guy's gonna get a bunch of crap over something he didn't do.
