Even CNN this morning was saying “Huh? Whats this?” What an American hating joke.
Yep - 0bama’s in good company, his kind of people.
It is truly a miracle that the “Muslim World” has suddenly stopped the killings. /sarc
Posted this on another thread, fits here too:
What a crock of you know what. First it is a consolation prize for having lost the Olympics. Second, it is the usual leftist, socialist baloney of rewarding one of their own, just like they did with Jimmy Carter, who never deserved the prize either.
Then there are the ulterior motives. Now that Obama has been awarded the peace prize, he can do nothing else other than keep the peace. This is the Nobel Prize Committee’s way of preventing Obama from bombing Iran, as he must be peaceful now, don’t you know, to live up to his new prize.
He won’t be able to put too many more troops in Afghanistan, as that is warlike, and won’t fit his new peace image. He must now pursue another series of endless, useless talks with N. Korea, that will go nowhere, as N. Korea once again is cranking up its nuclear program in order to elicit more perks in the form of bribes from the western countries to buy off peace.
Of course, this is also one more repudiation of George Bush. The talking heads on TV are already pursuing the line of how hated we were internationally for the last 8 years (note they say the last 8 years, so naturally it was during Bush’s reign). Now that Obama is in office, all is well with the world, and peace will reign.
Of course, the fact that Obama has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to deserve this award is totally immaterial to the subject at hand. What a farce, what a joke. What next, giving the award to Ahmadinejad or Hugo Chavez, or Castro? Gag me with a spoon.
By the way, Israel is now screwed. Obama, in order to live up to his new “peace prize” will try harder than ever to force a settlement down the throat of Israel with the Muslim fascist Pali’s. I hope Bibi Netanyahu has fortified himself with Wheaties to be strong enough to ward off what will now be coming his way.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee is chock full of anti-semites, as is so much of Europe, and what better way to get Obama to throw Israel under the bus than by giving him an undeserved prize that he will now feel he has to live up to. And one of the more immediate ways he can do this is by sicking his anti-semitic Administration on Israel. Oh, but he’ll use his strong arm tactics against Israel peacefully, dontcha know. He’s got his new image to live up to. King of Peace. Which will end up getting us into war in short order.
“The Nobel Committee makes its selection on the basis of nominations received or postmarked no later than February 1 of the year in question.”

The leader of the committee is Thorbjørn Jagland, a Norwegian Labour Party politician who is a big fan of ‘Socialist International’, started his career in something called the Worker’ Youth League, and who is the current Secretary General of the Council of Europe. A definitive lefty.
The committee also includes Ågot Valle, who is a Norwegian politician in the Socialist Left Party. There are a few somewhat conservative members of the committee as well, but they are essentially all politicians, which is why this should be called the Nobel Politician Prize.
Yasser Arafat also won the Nobel Peace Prize, so what is it worth?
He beat out Jesus for the award - and it wasn’t even close.
I am reminded of the scene in “Mars Attacks!” where the hippy dude says “They come in peace..” and lets go the dove. Some of us who watched that flick know what happened next.
I hadn’t thought of that angle - I’m still in something of a state of shock. I should be used to it by now, the Peace Prize committee has been off the deep end for over 40 years.
I’m going to be sick. WTF? When did I fall asleep and wake up in another space in time? I want to go home! But I’ve forgotten my ruby slippers and the hot air balloon is being fueled by the great and powerful Obama. Ah FReepers, we’re not in Kansas anymore. Hell, we’re not even in Oz. I don’t know where we are. I’m so confused.
Don't forget that Pope John Paull II, Reagan nor Thatcher never won but Carter, Algore and Arafat have...
Somebody on F&F this morning said OBOBO is the third ‘I’m not George Bush’ winner.
From twitter this morning:
@BreakingNews: Senior leader of Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami party calls Obama’s peace prize win an “embarrasing joke.”
Don't forget Al Gore who got one for creating a propaganda movie which was void of any truth.
More from Twitter:
@BreakingNews - Taliban spokesman: [Obama] has done nothing for peace in Afghanistan. [..] We condemn this year’s peace prize as unjust.
> It is more than a 'mad world' out there and the only global warming is the baked heads of these people who contribute to this madness.
