The Taliban is not as impressed as Obama's sheep are:
Quote:
Afghanistan's Taliban mocked the award, saying it was absurd to give it to Obama when he had ordered 21,000 extra troops to Afghanistan this year.
"The Nobel prize for peace? Obama should have won the 'Nobel Prize for escalating violence and killing civilians'," Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location
Carter won one. Gore won one. Now, Obama.
I guess the Righties (and anti-Obama crowd) don't approve because the Nobel committee usually doesn't hand out awards to greedy capitalists and war-mongers.
But how about that for an idea...establish an institution that awards corporations that do the best to exploit workers and another award for the best job of war-mongering. Nobel prizes also go for literature and to various scientists. How about an award for the best efforts at anti-intellectualism?
I did know that but only Yasser Arafat was a terrorist and admitted it....
Hmmm. Your take on Le Duc Tho of North Vietnam, a 1973 winner?

My points were that your "two weeks" complaint was pointless and that your supposed personal chronology of loss of respect for the Nobel Peace Prize was out of order by many years.

Are you telling us that you stopped reading newspapers after January 19 of this year, or is there some other explanation for your having failed to notice that Obama has accomplished virtually everything he has gone after since being inaugurated?
the haters of Obama will never let go since they are too busy pinning labels on him! That commie, socialist Marxist and now Nobel Peace Prize winner son of a gun! Who does he think is he is?
Michael Steele the head of the GOP has already blasted Obama for winning this award and you would expect he would have some grace and dignity having OUR President winning this award. Instead he questions the Nobel committee on why they would choose Obama.
I have a better question for Steele. Why did they choose you to lead the GOP? It wasn't because you were a rabid conservative but probably because you weren't white!
love it! now the Obama haters are siding with the Taliban! The conservatives in the US should side with the Taliban though, you have many things in common!
Congrats to him. When Al Gore won it back some years ago I lost all respect for the Nobel Peace prize from there on.
Yeah I think I have one lying around here somewhere. Maybe I'll find it when I clean out the study closet. WTF? I heard he was even pretty shocked to have won it. Strange days.

In what reality do you live? He didn't accomplish hardly anything he promised since being inaugurated.
