TBH none of this crap matters b/c next week there will be something else for everyone to be mad at him about. Just like there was something every week with bush. Although the world supports obama.
The thing is anyone in a position of authority like he is - is going to get flamed for whichever decision they make.
If he hadn't won the NPP the other side would be all, "OMG how could he not win he is Jesus 2.0."
So it is all just shit anyway.

It honestly is Bush's fault that Obama won it. If he wasn't such a go-it-alone type of leader there wouldn't have been such a backlash. Think about it.
- Same could be said about Obama being president in general.DrBombay
- Yeah, Norway HATES bush even stillshinpo
- Obama basically got the Nobel for Not Being Bush.DrBombay
- I dont think we would have gotten this kind of reception if it was Hilary. Can you imagine? I supported Hilary but not for this big of a change.FFFFOUND
- He has reached out to the Muslim world. He has reached out to Russia. He is willing to talk to his enemies.DrBombay
- He takes responsibility on the climate change front. He wants to abolish nuclear weapons. He puts pressure on the Israelis to make peace and stop the settlements.DrBombay
- make peace and stop the settlements.DrBombay
- I can not imagine Hilary winning NPP.FFFFOUND
- That will just be gross.FFFFOUND
- Hilary wouldn't have done that much. Again, I am unconcerned about the Award. I think it is a worldwide popularity contest.DrBombay
- populartity contest and that is it.DrBombay
- He better do what he said he would. Lets start with Gitmo.FFFFOUND
- half the country thinks all the "terrorists" will wind up in their local prisons and will break out.DrBombay

lol all i can think of is Sideshow Bob getting arrested for 'attempted murder' and saying that no one ever won a nobel prize for 'attempted literature'..
i guess - you can win one for 'attempted peace' .. i guess.
has he even attempted peace?

"Obama should politely refuse and give the award to a more deserving recipient."
Now that would really put Obama over the top.

The comments here are amazing...
- Why bother with the garbage? For who doesnt care about the prize, you post a lot.FFFFOUND
- Wow dude, you got a lot at stake here, huh?DrBombay
- Of course. Voicing your opinion is fundamentals of democracy. Having no opinion is indifference to the system.FFFFOUND
- Well, you have voiced it. Numerous times, care to keep reiterating it?DrBombay
- Care you keep replying to it when you dont care?FFFFOUND
- I think it is funny how pissed off you are.DrBombay

Dr. Bombay - you again are in error - Mikhail Borbachev became the First Secretary of the Stavropol City Komsomol Committee in 1956. So he had 34 years of political experience showing commitment to bringing peace notably "On 8 April 1985, he announced the suspension of the deployment of SS-20s in Europe as a move towards resolving the intermediate-range nuclear weapons (INF) issues. In the same year, he proposed that the Soviets and Americans both cut their nuclear arsenals in half." And "In November 1988, Gorbachev announced full withdrawal of Soviet forces from Afghanistan."
That was 5 years before they awarded him the NPP - please read up on your history before you open your mouth.
- what has Obama done to deserve the NPP?shinpo
- I dont think you get it. It's not about HIM, it's about our new leadership and the world's acknowledgment of it.morilla
- the world acknowledges you installed a new ruler in tern so you get a prize ! USA USA!zman
- lol @ zmans commentshinpo
- just stating the fact, like it or not.morilla
- does that mean we can get a NPP just by mere affiliation with a leadership with having nothing to do with merit?shinpo
- Look at how pissed you are about this. Last week the olympics, this week NPP you are an emotional rollercoasterDrBombay

No war, since WWII, has been approved by congress. Not even Vietnam or Korea, certainly not Iraq, were ever declarations of "war".
Crazy world.
Let's pray it ends soon. All this is just politics as usual.
Don't even want to get started on the cost cutting/taxes crap. NO ONE is going to cut crap, not with elections in their sites. They'll talk and point fingers, but no one is going to do crap.
I just pray the world's economy gets back on track, builds another bubble and gives me time to save more. Nothing will change. Guess humans don't really change, come to think of it.
- so true
just learn a real skill like gardening, wood work, etc and you'll be finegeorgesIII

^ so as you can see Mikhail Gorbachev was awarded on things he did not on things he was going to do - unlike Obama.

Let's not forget his plans to deal with bloggers, who undoubtedly are a warmongering bunch:
