Even General Douglas MacArthur once stated at a diner for a West Point Graduating class, "No one prays for peace more than the soldier does".

Obama's accomplishments in his 11 years in elective office - Democratic Underground

The American people duly and legally elected President Obama; nobody in the global community "put" him in office. Here is a list of his accomplishments; how about posting your curriculum vitae so we can all
compare the two?
11 years of sponsoring the bills of other people, in other words, trying to ride the coat tails of others, is not an accomplishment.

You are Off Topic.

This thread is about Obama winning the Nobel Peace prize....


NOT what bill he passed or didn't pass in the US.....this is NOT about American politics(for the ten millionth time!) or what AMERICANS think!

You want to decide who wins it?....JOIN THE BLOODY COMMITTEE!

Working with Dick Lugar to end nuclear proliferation is, IMHO, one reason that President Obama won the Nobel...what could be more humanitarian than putting an end to the threat of world annihilation? He began to reach out to the global community during the primaries and general elections, and has been met with the respect and appreciation of a large part of the world. I repeat: It's wonderful that we have a president who understands the importance of diplomacy and the finesse and nuance that such work entails. Seeing the response of Limbaugh and some others illustrates exactly who loves America and who claims to, while openly siding with the
Taliban. I think Obama's success has put Rush back on the pills.

Perfectly ON topic, since no one seems to be able to come up with a list of accomplishments that indicates the award was deserved, in any way.

Besides, Wapasha was responding to a link put up by one of yours.

Limbaugh its not credible. He is no more than a circus clown and can not be held ACCOUNTABLE for what he says and he knows it. People that believe him are just fans that like his entertainment show. Its funny that people will think that this CLOWN SHOW is a good sorce for the real facts,,,not so He wouldnt last 5 minutes on a real news show because of his lies...What a joke..lol

It truly is embarrassing to hear conservatives shriek with the Taliban, and Rush Limbaugh proudly pointed this out on his radio show.
You conveniently forget ALL the commentary from the Left as well. It seems there is a consensus among Left and Right - totally, undeserved and completely corroborates his critics claims of his lack of accomplishments. The award has put to the forefront in many people's minds the FACT that he has not done very much (and what he has done has not worked, just accumulated more debt) while in office.

The WH definitely does not want people thinking of that.
