JFK avoided the Cuba Missle Crisis... nada. Others have worked for peace forever... what is the gentleman's name in China, that is fighting against the oppression of the Chinese Government and has been imprisoned multiple times over the years???? Time to google.

Yay, Obama closed Gitmo and got out of Afghanistan. Oh wait... When they gave this prize to Krugman and Arafat, you knew it was now worthless.

Actually, during the majority of the Bush administration, it was not.

Housing crisis, bank crisis, mortgage crisis, health care in shambles. Street gang domestic terrorism OUT OF CONTROL. The ridiculous "war on terrorism" LOST after LYING to enter the war, then wasting a trillion dollars in the cause. Why weren't the Regressives complaining about all that wasteful SPENDING? Goodwill with allies around the world OBLITERATED under the Regressives. Infrastructure in shambles. Damn near 50 states in an economic free fall with Bush. Illegal immigrants entering this country through holes nearly as big as the one in the ideology of the Regressives. The unemployment rate skyrockets as qualified Americans lose their jobs to outsourcing and H-1B visa cheap labor from India and Asia because the Regressives care only about profit. Barack Obama has the task of reviving this country after the worst presidential administration in the history of this country. The people who voted for Bush's reelection will go down as having the worst political judgment and instincts in history. Obama continues despite the whining and moaning from this bunch.

As Obama said, to dig ourselves out of 8 horrific years of Republican/Conservative control, is going to take patience, but he provides hope as the numbers are starting to look favorable... as expected! Took him 9 months to get this country out of a sure-Depression that it took that Republican village idiot 8 years to build. He's far from done too. Two terms we have this man leading this nation.

Yes, Obama deserves that prize, and don't you Regressives forget it.



+1000!

Post of the year.

LOL!

Yeah...that must be it. Thanks for setting us all straight with your brilliance. We're all just bitter and disillusioned racists. Now I understand.

Forget for a moment what this award is supposed to be used to recognize.

Forget that this is a BLATANT and TRANSPARENT politically motivated popularity pick without a shred of merit.

The Nobel Peace Prize is agenda driven and means little anymore. If they would give one to Gore they would give one to anyone and they just did. We have the first black president and the most openly criminal and lying administration in history.
