You have the US at 4% of the world, 2% are conservatives, so that measn 98% of the world disagrees with conservative US Americans with the exception of a few Britts and others. I think it's easily 90% of the world disagrees with that the US has been doing and wants a change. Obama is that change and they are encouraging the US by promoting Obama via Nobel. Questioning it and calling it stupid makes as much sense as wondering why the R's chose Palin. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rickjump1 0 #104 October 9, 2009 QuoteQuoteQuote This whole thing feels like a makeup call for the IOC snub. or an attempt to influence the White House on the eve of a confrontation with Iran. Hmm. The Nobel Peace Prize committee hoping to influence the commander in chief of the most powerful military force on the planet to avoid making war. (I hear the Pope sometimes does that kind of shit, too.) How fucked up is that?? They know "the commander in chief of the most powerful military force on the planet" can be dazzled by Hugo and Fidel, and they know a muslim president would not listen to the Pope even for free pizza and a set of Mickey Mouse ears.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Question to your second response, there is not one living person in the world you have met, read of, heard of, etc that you feel deserved the Novel Peace Prize? If so, why not?

rhaig 0 #114 October 9, 2009 Quote Quote Quote Quote Can anyone, please, explain how Obama is more deserving than Tsvangirai? Anyone? Because the Nobel committee chose him. Well that explains it. Thank you for your in depth explanation. Indeed it does explain it.If you want more detail the Nobel Commitee already provided it for those who are TRULY interested and don't just want to rant: nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/laureates/2009/press.html "The Norwegian Nobel committee has decided that the Nobel peace prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons. Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened. Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population. For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The committee endorses Obama's appeal that 'Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges'." Oslo, 9 October, 2009 and for cut/pasting that, I'd like to nominate you for the Nobel prize. I still wonder who nominated Obama and what they thought he'd done that he deserved the nomination.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhaig 0 #116 October 9, 2009 Quote Quote Mr. Kallend, let's assume for a moment we were in a parallel universe and instead of a committee, in this particular case, you alone were the decider of who receives the award. Would you have chosen Obama as the recipient over the list of other nominees for the award? Why or why not? I haven't seen the list of nominees. In a parallel universe, the nominee list is going to be different anyway. Maybe Jesse Jackson is President of the USA and the judge awards 2 points for the question dodge.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a great many people throughout history who have effected a lot of change for the good just by talking. Isn't it clear to everyone?
