Which European is telling the US how to vote here?

In this case a very small group of people who have, in my opinion, made this into a political issue.

but how are they telling you how to vote when he's already been elected?

Dumbass

Things Obama has made un-American, by doing them.

1. Winning the Nobel Peace Prize
2. Owning a puppy

you are our bastard child, should we just leave you to it? Last time we did you scamps dropped a few Nukes on Japan. No, you need a conscience and we are here to nag you into having one.

That is a lot of posts you have there.

There is always an election around the corner in America Einstein.

I think you're often dead on with your all america all the time analysis, but I don't think it fits this one.

 

[mears]

right.

You're full of shit, aren't you?

And I doubt this will help the Dem party in upcoming elections. There is always voting coming up.

Obama's Presidency could turn out to be a disaster. He could make a wrong move and be responsible for millions of deaths, God forbid. Besides being politicized its also naive in my opinion to give him this award.

I think someone who does work on the ground and really saves lives should win this award. Someone who brings fresh drinking water to Africa for instance. Or someone who shelters persecuted people at the risk of their own lives. There are must be many examples we can find.

Maybe someday he would deserve such a prize buts its very premature right now.

I think it's premature also, and I don't think this sort of thing does him any good.

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

This is such a joke. The American people will not be influenced by a group of European elites telling us who we should pick for our presidents.

Carter, Gore and now Obama Why such a love for the US democratic party?

You all are so fascinated by America.

All America all the time.

There's a whopping great flaw in your logic here, as others have pointed out...

A lot of people will agree with you on this, but the Nobel Peace Prize committee like to think that by conferring an award on somebody who has the power to do some good for world peace they are influencing the future.

Perhaps there should be two Nobel Prizes one for actual achievements and another one for possible future achievements.

But pre-emptive prize-giving is a very weird idea if you think about it. Perhaps the name of the award needs to change?

What would be a good new name for the Nobel Peace Prize?

 

[Refused as fuck]

Can I get a Nobel Fuck You for Future Posting from Bed?

 

[FridgeMagnet]

All "All America, All The Time", All The Time.

stop telling me how to vote

 

[newbie]

stop voting how you're told

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

I can't remember, and I'm on my mobile so can't Google, did Blair get one for Northern Ireland?

hume and trimble got one

I really would *love* to have been a fly on the wall in the Blair household when they heard the news about Obama winning a Nobel Peace Prize.

Can you imagine Tony Blair's dismay? Him thinking how he should have won one for Northern Ireland? Or that he should have won one for being the Quartet's Middle East envoy? And Cherie castigating him for not having lobbied for the prize, not having won it, telling him what she could have spent the prize money on?

Maybe most admired politician award...

I know most of the above have posted with good intentions alas all have missed the real point of the award to Mr. Obama.

Minnie, my CIA mole, informs me that the only reason they gave him the award was to get him to visit Norway. The Norwegians were pissed off he visited Denmark - their arch enemy. Also the fact he has visited lots of other European states but missed out Norway. They had thought of inviting him to inspect their fish stock and maybe have a look at their pipelines but they knew this wouldn't work. And so they came up with the ruse of giving him the Nobel. Not only would he be there for quite a while but would also make a better speech than he did in Denmark. After all, had he been invited to make a speech about smoked salmon there wouldn't be much to say and it wouldn't have garnered the attention of the world press.

So now you know, thanks to Minnie.

 

[Refused as fuck]

I bet he accepts his prize via videolink.

 

[DotCommunist]

I'd laugh if when he went to accept Kanye popped up 'obama, imma let you finish...'

 

[mears]

Can't Bill Clinton get one of these rewards as well? Maybe Bill and Hillary could get a co-Nobel Peace Prize?

If Al Gore and Jimmy Carter won one you might as well include the Clintons.

 

[Yuwipi Woman]

Can't Bill Clinton get one of these rewards as well?

With all of the Tsunami aid he and George Sr. brought to the table in the last couple of years, he might actually deserve one....

You have a point there. In essence this is an overblown and unimportant award from an overblown and unimportant country.

Fuck me!

I agree with Mears!

Now you've gone and upset Morten and the boys. He said he wants you to take him on.

The humour gets blacker by the day - the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Lord Obama, has just signed the largest ever ever military budget - worth nearly a trillion dollars, including an extra 50 000 new troops.
