In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[BadBoy@TheWheel]

:24::24::24: Yeah, there was no recession in the USA before Obama became president.

Right...Again LOOK WHAT BUSH DID!!! So to fix it....We go into debt another 11 trillion...Sounds like Republican Defecit spending to me Obama might be a little more to the right then folks think. Another one in line to kiss his ass

Agreed! It baffles me why people think he's a hardline socialist.

Because he's convinced that to fix problems with the government, he needs to add more government. In our case the government IS the problem. He's not near as intelligent as he's given credit for...Well maybe he is, he pulled off the election based on CHANGE :24: Of course given the baffoon that came before him, Mickey Mouse would have gotten elected.

You know what else the US didn't have before Obama took office? An $800 billion "stimulus" package that was the exact opposite of what a stimulus package should be...

the way the peace prize has gone for a while now, i'm really not that surprised. It seems like people that get the peace prize get it for working towards peace, not actually creating peace. shrug

if creating peace were criteria i doubt it could ever be awarded

agreed, nobody would ever get that award if was confirmed peace. Then someone would fuck it up and create a war there, then the guy would get his award taken away lol! :24:

This award went a couple steps down below that. He got it for talking about, maybe at some as yet undetermined day in the future working towards peace...

hitler could have gotten elected. the mantra from some before the election was "anyone but bush". as long as it wasnt another bush they didnt care who they voted for. the devil you know...

Wow, that dosen't say very much for McCain then!

the left saw mccain as another bush.

too bad their guy looks more like bush too. both were a bad choice really. damned if you do damned if you dont.

It does speak volumes about the mindset of the American voter. Hell I wanted Ron Paul, and I can promise you the banking system would be getting "Change" right damn now. The Fed would have shit if he got the nod. It was obvious from the start, that you cannot win with good solid economic knowledge. We either had to vote for a war torn old bird and think back to yesteryear, or a Johnny Come Lately smartass left winger that is convinced the country would be great if all but half of us had a chicken in every pot. Didn't we already try that? Oh yeah...FDR tried it...Worked well :24:

I guess people are only half hearted when they vote for change because deep down the're quite insecure about how a major change will pan out. Change! - But not too much please.Lol!

What he said was "I'll run the lobbyists out of Washington" what happened is he'll wind up feeding them more goodies then have ever been afforded by the White House. He said transparency, what has been told about what's going on, is either not transparency...Or hey actually have gotten nothing done yet. Oh and increasing the size of government is NEVER a good change, so I can't believe anyone actually supports it, either side.

I see his health care reforms are being supported in the Senate, even by a Republican.:thumbup
