Comment: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace
prize
Michael Binyon




The award of this year's Nobel peace prize to President Obama will
be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals
and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.

snipped

Sadly, it seems they have so bedazzled the Norwegians that they
can no longer separate hopes from achievement. The achievements of
all previous winners have been diminished.


And the last sentence says it all.

I haven't been following this bizarre story but I seem to recall
hearing Barry as being quoted that "I don't deserve it". It's so rare
that he is caught telling the truth, we should implant that quote in
our memory of him. It is sure to become a classic along with "I did
not have sex with that woman" and probably several others that I
cannot recall at this moment.



The US does not get the Olympics, the Republican Party cheers, the
President gets the Nobel Peace prize and the Republican's say he didn't
deserve it.

There is no wondering whose side they are on. Traitors all.

Go ahead and argue that point.



There's no doubt that Republican/Conservatives hate America. Just look
at the Republican/Conservative trash that logs on and posts here.


It's getting hard to come to any other conclusion.

Perhaps you should look around. It wasn't just Republicans who
questioned the award to Obama.

The spectacle of Mr. Obama mounting the podium in Oslo to accept a prize

and henry kissinger. the right kinda ignores that...

would
be all the more absurd if it follows a White House decision to send up to
40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan. However just such a war may be deemed
in Western eyes, Muslims would not be the only group to complain that peace
is hardly compatible with an escalation in hostilities.


hardly, if the escalation is justified.

unless, of course, you're an appeaser from the right


Mr. Obama's prize is more likely, however, to be compared with the most
contentious prize of all: the 1973 prize to Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho
for their negotiations to end the Vietnam war. Dr Kissinger was branded a
warmonger for his support for the bombing campaign in Cambodia; and the
Vietnamese negotiator was subsequently seen as a liar whose government never
intended to honour a peace deal but was waiting for the moment to attack
South Vietnam.


the difference is, of course, our defense activities in afghanistan
are justified; kissinger's war mongering and mass murder in vietnam
wasn't

The achievements of all
previous winners have been diminished.


sour grapes

No No He said himself he didn't deserve it.
Whose side who is on, Jim? Who are traiters? Why?
If you have a point, make it.

And you can expect no comments from the usual suspects...


It's a damn shame. Here Don proudly posts an article about the
accomplishments of some folks up his way - enough to earn a Nobel
prize. A couple days later this fiasco occurs, giving the medal all
the prestige of a golf ball marker.


Damn shame.


John, does this now mean *that If can actually type an exceptional
sentence with perfect spelling. I could be up for a Pulitzer?


I do believe that's possible. Just try to type the sentence *after*
you're awarded the prize. That'll put you on the same type pedestal as
our hero, the big O.


Note the past tense in this: ""...and one part to the person who shall
have done the most or the best work..."


As 'Bama had done nothing prior to his selection, all rules are off
the table as far as selections go.


So, how are you going to spend your prize money? New boat?


Hey, you can't get a prize for just a sentence. You need to be an
apologist, euro-socialist, pansy...


Rats!
