No, has more to do with the view that the US is in charge of the World. I'm not talking about the de facto leader, but rather that without our leadership the World will fail. Other Presidents have certainly thought it, but the people Bush surrounded himself with sure didn't have a problem saying it.
The Nobel prize is certainly a bit of a novelty all things considered, but I do give Obama props for how well he spoke about it when he made his remarks. It's not like he asked for it.

I agree. Obama really know how to say the right things. He's great at reading speeches.
By the way, I love the fact that you used the word "props" in your post. Props to you, Spence. You deserve it! |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Even his acceptance speech sounded arrogant to me. Most presidents, would say, "The United States, will not stand idly by while terrorist nations strive for nuclear weapons." but instead Obama speaks as if he is the leader of the world (or a preacher) "The world will not accept the proliferation of nuclear weapons." In matters concerning the rest of the world, when he speaks, he thinks he is speaking for the world and not for the U.S. He has no authority to speak for the rest of the world, and a few countries in Europe do feel he is arrogant and his numbers are not so good over there. Yes African nations, some of the Arab nations and many in South America love him. So many of our enemies and neutral countries like him, while a few of our friends are beginning to dislike him. Add Japan to the list that seems to like him, at least the people do (my mother in law for one)......
THE NOBEL PRIZE RULES STATE THAT IT IS FOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS NOT GRAND IDEAS. EVEN THOUGH I THINK GORE WAS FULL OF SH*T, HE AT LEAST DID SOMETHING, THAT PEOPLE BELIEVE HELPED THE WORLD.
inho,

But he did get nominated by a elitist liberal in the states as a way to stick it up W's ass, and thats the only reason why he was nominated. |

that's a little like being proud of your kid for getting reward for being MVP of his little league team that he never actually played on....
you should be sad for those that were actually deserving...
