Oslo prepares for Obama's visit
The Norway Post ^ | 12-Oct-2009 | Rolleiv Solholm

Posted on 10/11/2009 9:36:26 PM PDT by kingattax

The White House has confirmed that President Obama will personally come to Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, and the capital is gearing up for the visit, including the massive security arrangements which will have to be made.

The presentation will be made at a ceremony at the Oslo City Hall on December 10th, and the security will be a challenge.

However, Oslo Mayor Fabian Stang bids the US president heartily welcome:

- Clinton has visited us earlier, and I am sure that the police and the municipal authorities will solve that problem in a good way, Stang says.

Oslo police Chief Anstein Gjengedal admits that he wishes he had more time to make his preparations, and that he needs more money. He forecasts even stricter security than during Clinton's visit in 2003.

With all that love, why the need for so much security?

Barry should man up and pay it from his own pocket. Good grief!

...Obama will personally come to Oslo to receive the Nobel Peace Prize...

Of course he will. He will jump at any and every chance to jet across the world at our expense, pollute the environment, park his face on TV, and drink in the fawning adulation of his Eurogroupies.

Whadya bet Michelle takes a separate flight? Just for the heck of it.

Condolences.

Only Obama could screw up a celebration with self serving adulation and travel at our expense.

But never mind....and Happy Birthday, Nana!

Here's hoping Kanye West repeats his previous awards performance.

"Yo Barak, I'm really happy for you.

I'll let you finish.

I'm sorry, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time.

Although I liked Norway quite a bit, mainly the countryside and the fjords (which are astounding!) Oslo I must say is one of more bland cities I have been to. *Fiendishly* expensive. Beer in a bar = $10. That’s plenty of reference right there.

Of course he will! Can't ever miss an opportunity to be worshiped! The security will probably cost more than the actual prize is worth. Why don't you just mail the check directly to the charity he is going to donate it to. Sure would save a lot of $$ in these hard economic times. It's the "thought" that counts, right?

More “O’s”! Obama and Oprah plea for the Olympics while Olberman and O’Reilley report. One week later oh my! It is Oslo and the “Oh-well” prize. All seems a little Orwellian, doesn’t it?

OSLO needs more money to pay for security - and Zero is going to fork it over, so Zero and his 3-plane entourage can be in yet another staged adulation episode, shopping trips inclusive, so the little children can sing more songs about him.

He should have politely declined to accept the award. It would have been the right thing to do.

Three years left and counting, and they can’t come too fast for me....

From Initial Posting:

However, Oslo Mayor Fabian Stang bids the US president heartily welcome:

- Clinton has visited us earlier, and I am sure that the police and the municipal authorities will solve that problem in a good way, Stang says.

Question: Is the "Good Mayor of Oslo" unclear the correct name of our POTUS?

Posting # 4 poised this questions:

Do you suppose Michelle will follow in her own plane and entourage?

Silly question, the First Lady will precede Zer0's visit to do some shopping, dining and enjoying uncounted refreshments with Her group. The real question is: Will Oprah go this time too?

She'll probably stay beyond Zer0's time in Norway, then stop by Paris and London for more shopping, dining and enjoying uncounted refreshments with Her group.

My guess: Zer0 will have AF1 (747) for his staff and Czars; the second plane for press and Secret Service (AF3 another 747); and, the Presidential C5 Galaxy to carry all the cars. Check out the Galaxy Click HERE

That's three large planes for Zer0, then comes Michelle: AF2 (747) for herself, the Princesses, all of her highly paid assistants; and, an entourage plane for friends getting a "freeby", other subordinates (Hey, does she have a job?) and the poopy dog.

The security costs will really blow up when they discover that the guy who created the prize also invented dynamite.

o yes the whole freeloading family will be there in their baggy clothes on our dime AGAIN

Hey why waste another free vacation for them and seeing as they have not been to that country yet then I bet the lazy michelle will be proud of her country for this time.

You know what
Laura did education and reading
Clinton did womens rights

the so called pathetic media have not asked what on earth has this first lady done yet, name a charity she has been working with etc.

maybe she is still busty looking for that church to attend

HEY MEDIA WHEN WILL YOU ASK THESE QUESTIONS, WHAT CHURCH, WHY NO TROOPS YET AS OTHERS DIE? WHY IS THE FIRST LADY DOING NOTHING?
WHEN WILL SHE HELP WITH A CHARITY.

No this woman is so scared that a white woman make go with her husband that she goes everywhere with him to keep on eye on him.

Are you better off than two years ago, I am not, I am really starting to hurt and I am in the lower working class blue collar group.
Meanwhile they go on vacation every month on my money.
SICKENING

same here
been to Norway 9 times and lived there on and off.
Spent most time near Bergan which is a nice place , the northern lights, the countryside, the fjords etc are great, the women are beautiful but Oslo is just bland.

Maybe that freeloading wife of his will go to stop any Norweigan woman even looking at her husband along with getting another free vacation.
Then she will bring all the freeloaders, like cuz, mother ion law etc
