A Fitting Prize, in a Way (Just as the 'world' hated George W. Bush, the 'world' loves Obama)

Some, I say again, some of the world hated President Bush because he was a conflict winner. People don’t like others that get something done that they couldn’t.

Well, Bush was and is a BIG government republican..
as is, Obama a BIG government democrat..

I truly believe that 0bama’s hesitance, inaction, and refusal to make a decision on Afghanistan is based on his not wanting to hurt his chances to win this Nobel prize…
0bama’s lust for the prize has led to the unnecessary deaths of our American Heroes!!!

Come on National Review...Your NOT actually taking this Joke seriously..ARE YOU?
This does not deserve the waste of brain gigabites to anyalize.

Apropos of 'the world' -

Blessed are you when the world reviles you and persecutes you;
and utters all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake:
Rejoice and be exceeding glad;
for great is your reward in heaven.

Antiphon:
Remember your servants, Lord,
when you come in your kingly power.

How many people did President Bush liberate?

And how many did President Obama liberate?

Case closed, Nobel. You #$@ed up.

Gibbs is saying that not all Taliban are bad. We will be surrendering control. We’ve lost the Afghanistan war. Appeasement in our lifetime.

The nominations had to be in by February, that is before most of the items summarized in this article. The basis that he is the boolean opposite of George Bush is the prevailing valid point though.

The silver lining in this travesty is that it shows the shallowness in the award to Gore. It shows he won his prize because he also wasn't George Bush.

How wonderful is it that the Nobel Prize is now Norway's opinion piece for our country's politics. Take that Albert Schweitzer!

[himno hero]

just shows how much noise the liberals and lefties can make.

[verity]

As “the world” hated Pres. George W. Bush, “the world” loves President Obama.

For the record, I am not enamored with Obama or the world.

God Bless GWB and our troops.

Yeah, you'd think that Dubya deserved at least an honorable mention for the Nobel Junk Science Award with his promotion and support of the Hydrogen Initiative.

That has absolutely nothing to do with the article, hosepipe.

That is unless you are telling us that you agree with "the world" and hate George W. Bush.....

(Oh yes, of course you do. How could I forget?)

Sure, but what about FOREIGN POLICY and DEFENSE ? These are GOVERNMENT functions provided for in the constitution. At least Bush believes in Peace through strength. Obama believes in peace through appeasement ( hence his perpetually apologizing for America ). The Nobel Committee seems to think that appeasement is the better option to achieve peace in the world.

Oslo shamed Alfred Nobel and awarded the world's greatest windbag its most prestigious prize. So much for achievements.

Oslo shamed Alfred Nobel and awarded the world's greatest windbag its most prestigious prize. So much for achievements.

The Nobel Peace prize is the most SUBJECTIVE, POLITICAL prize ever.

Yaser Arafat won it in 1994 and proceeded to start another Intifada when he all but REJECTED Ehud Barak's offer in return for peace.

Rigoberta Menchu got her Nobel for a piece of work she wrote which she claimed was her personal experience growing up. That piece of work was later discovered to be a LIE.

We got the windbag Al Gore who won the prize for warning us about Global Warming when all recent studies show that the world is actually cooling and worldwide temperatures have not been increasing the past 10 years.

And on and on it goes --- the corrupt UN head Kofi Anand, Jimmy Carter and now this.
