Pres. Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
Pretty
surprising... What did he do again?
According to the committee, Obama has already created a new international climate of diplomacy, dialogue and cooperation. Still, it seems a bit early to get such an award, doesn't it?
The NYT article
notes some current challenges:
The prize was announced as the Obama administration wrestles with global crises from the Middle East to Iran to southwest Asia while American military forces are still deployed in large numbers in Iraq and the White House is considering whether to increase troop levels in Afghanistan.
Greenwald catalogues many ways in which Obama has not thoroughly altered the domestic "climate" on some issues.
YRHT congratulates the President and would advise him to press on, and not rest on his laurels.

LOL...He was in office for TEN DAYS before the Nominations were due...
10 days in office, & he's nominated...
Obama & Jimmy Carter...The anti-semite, himself...
Two giants...Who now take their place around a campfire that includes such stalwarts as Yassir Arafat, &...and...Uhh...Al Gore!
LMAO!
It's pretty much the Nobel committee nudging Obama along a less aggressive and more diplomatic foreign policy.
It's pretty much bullsh!t sammich.
IE-any which way you slice it, you are biting down on the juicy end...
This is hilarious...The Nobel Peace prize-not that it meant much before-now means about as much as the Heisman Trophy...
LOL!
When you think it's Butter,
but it's not...it's Nobel!

And hey Big Molluski, I shouted out to you the other day and it was like ya'know the Wilderness Empty Echo from some highway grave. Anyway, you gotta look for it this time, but rest assured you ain't far from the new Buff Hubig.
Jus'sayin...I gotta recipe fo'youz.
What did he do? What did he DO?
Ah, bivalve, he totally was going to let those Somali pirates off easy. And don't forget the beer summit, that was surely worthy of the prize...
Nobel Prize = "Dear America: the last eight years were pretty damn terrifying for the rest of us. Please don't do that again."
Hey Y'all, get a load of why Obama can only swing a piss-stop here.
It appears that our President can't spend too much time in the City That Boy George Left For Dead because...he has a date with Daddy Big George?
From New Orleans, POTUS heads to San Francisco for a DNC fundraiser that evening, and then Friday he flies to College Station, Texas, for a Presidential Forum on community service hosted by former President George H.W. Bush and the Points of Light Institute at the George Bush Presidential Library Center on the campus of Texas A&M University.

Well! Excuuuuse US, Mista'POTUS!
Hey, Barry, Point THIS Light will'ya!
Jeez Louie, stood up for another Bush.
Don't get me started....
my first thought was that maybe they're making up for Chicago not getting the Olympics
I think that many of the people are trying to be snarkey with their comments but I agree on the point that he hasnt done anything yet to desearve it. I hope that he does do something on a global scale to desearve the recognition but as of yet nada nothing just some pretty speeches. he has yet to deliever the goods. and accordding to the committee he wasnt nominated he wasnt on the short list they just gave it to him I guess they were tired and didnt want to debate the merits of deserving people and said who is the most popular person this year so far.
I also dont think we should bad mouth BO over this as he didnt give it to himself we should be lambasting the committee.
