"Most now regard the Nobel Peace Prize as they do the prize one finds in a box of Cracker Jacks with a one million prize tacked on. a lottery ticket and no more. The earth is officially cooling and Al Gore won the prize for what - fantasy? No one I know has any respect for the prize, other than the money that comes with it."

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! |

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. |

you should be sad for those that were actually deserving...

This just adds to my opinion that Europeans are out of their mind.
I do like Huckabee's response (paraphrased) "GOP, keep your criticisms quiet. Let the liberals explain what he did to desearve it"
Why does the left have to explain it? The idiot Norwegians are the ones that should explain it.
The only part of Spence's post I agree with - Obama didn't ask for it.

By "GIVING" Obama the Nobel Prize, they have effectively turned it into the equivilent of the Publisher's Clearinghouse Award..... It's now worthless!
There were people much more deserving of the award that ACTUALLY DID SOMETHING.
As my brother stated: I left a turd in the toilet that's just as deserving of that award.
Now I think I know where the stimulus $$ went! 
I was hoping that he would be more that the man before him, but unfortunately he was.....more of a disgrace.
When any person tries to do too many things at one time, they tend to do all of them very badly and Obama is the man!
Maybe he and Carter can build houses after he drives the country into the ground? |

On the day he was elected, 75% of the countries around the world immediately changed their opinions of America. So, What has he done? You tell me.

Why is this not an endorsement of the American people, aren't they the ones that actually elected Obama? So you tell me, WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE? |

That's a statistic that I think was pulled from the deep crevices of someone's ass.
Are you sure you aren't sean curry using a different name? |

Maybe it's Capt. Crunch (aka BSSB) back for more. He's using the computer at his mom's house.  |

What has he done that changed the opinions of 75% of the countries of the world?
He's made us an easier target by screwing up just about everything he's tried to do.
Those 75% countries are probably countries that want the U.S. economy to fail so they can swoop in like vultures.
Pretty muchh EVERYTHING he's put his hands on left me scratching my head saying "WTF?" His predecessor may not have been the brightest bulb in the pack, but at least he tried to do what was best for the country MOST of the time.
Obama seems like he's doing the worst he can do, but paints such a pretty picture that we left looking like villians if we challenge him at any point.
Remember, actions speak louder than words, and all he's done is talk, talk, talk ..... |
