First White House Reaction on Nobel

This is a great honor for our president and speaks volumes to where the country is going as a whole. Continue to lead the best way that you can, and let postivity guide your decision making. I cant speak for others but right now I am glass half full, even in the tough economy and its a blessing. Nobody is perfect but by GOD, when you carry your head high, speak with confidence and erapture millions, you will make a difference. I challenge others to put away their measuring tapes, stop bickering, and get back to the post 9/11 American pride filled days.

HAHAHA…is it April 1st? Where’s my calendar……

Congratulations Mr. President. This is a result of an international committee listening to your words and watching your actions and setting politics aside. The world embraces the notion of seeing the US talk ‘with’ all nations, not ‘at’ them. I’m proud of your accomplishments and I support your efforts.

It must be April 1st. What has he done to deserve this? He has thrown our country into an economic crisis. He has spent more money than any president, promised more things but they haven’t happened, etc. And now he wants to put each American into more debt by fining us if we don’t have insurance.

I’m sorry – things like this just dilute the value of the Nobel, and make even more of a mockery of the process. The Nobel is supposed to represent a lifetime of work. What has he done? There were far more worthy candidates. Starting to look like the Oscars.

The nominations for the award closed less than two weeks after Obama took office. What did he do during his first two weeks to deserve this award over people that have worked a lifetime? Politicizing this award does nothing but tarnish it.

For the first time in a long time people around the world are starting to feel positive about the US because we see a president who doesn’t want to bomb all opposition back to the stone-age. A man with a vision for a nuclear weapon free world is something we long ago stopped hoping to see in the US. Also now that someone who is capable of understanding the science of ACW is in charge of the country that adds most to the problem maybe we have some chance of preventing world catastrophe.
Perhaps it is too soon for this prize but maybe it will give Americans a sense of the despair the world felt at the actions of the the US before Obama was elected. This is a man who everyone should be supporting because if even a fraction of his vision for the US and the world comes to pass it will improve life for all of us. This prize is the world saying to conservatives – stop your foolish bickering and get behind your country and the world. Every man is not an island.

It’s obvious, the more a president succeeds in screwing up this country, the better his odds are for ‘earning’ one of this booby prize.

In my town, for the little kids playing sports, they give out a “certificate of participation” at the end of the sports season.
This is what the NPP has become.
I would be embarresed to accept such an award if I were Obama.
But those left wingers are going to see this as some kind of positive. Such small minds…..

I gotta admit that my first thought when someone mentioned this today was also that they were joking. But I find it hard how any American can be upset at the honor – Obama did not receive it for his personal actions, but for his actions as the leader of the United States. And after the past years where anti-Americanism has run unchecked abroad, I am happy to see American starting to get some of its due for serving (at great cost) as the world’s policeman and an unappreciated force for peace.

Woodrow Wilson, Jimmy Carter, and Al Gore were also awarded Nobel Peace Prizes. ‘Nuff said.

Once again the Nobel Committee proves they don’t have the right to make such decisions. First it was Gore with his ecowhining BS,… now a vote for Neville Chamberlain on the eve of Hitler’s invasion of Poland. Narcissism reigns supreme amongst the politico elite, despite their claims of wanting to help people,… just call him Presidente Narciso.

No this is not April 1st, but the whitehouse IS filled with fools from the top down.

The hate being spewed by the GOP is honestly repulsive. This is a party that takes great pride in belittling one of the most prestigious prizes because it was awarded to a Dem President. The party of Timothy McVeigh is rotten to it’s very core. This is the same GOP where 30 of it’s male senators voted against an amendment to protect rape victims from defense contractors. The stench is sickening from these zombies.

The awards committee for the Nobel Peace Prize are doing the same thing TIME MAGAZINE has repeatedly done. They awarded a symbol of high status reserved for those of great accomplishment without Obama having accomplished anything great. The Nobel award has been terribly degraded in it’s value through this one thoughtless, but, politically correct act. They will come to regret their elevation on Obama to a position he has not earned, as will all Americans, not just those who voted for him. Obama is all show & no go. Anyone can tax & spend, as though digging the deficit hole deeper will get us out of that hole. It’s impossible for Obama & his ilk to impose socialism on the US without 1st destroying that system of rewarding initiative, which made America great. Obamaites are busily doing everything they can to restructure America in their already tried & disproven idea of a Utopian society. Everyone who believes in Yahweh & his son, our saviour, Jesus Christ, needs to pray for Gods protect of the USA from these Godless souls who worship at the altar of communism. Why else would Obamacare & ‘Cap & Trade’/'Anti-Pollution’ bills trample our most important right? Freedom of choice. Not only will there be no listening to the majority of Americans who are extremely opposed to these job & economy destroying bills. Their creators propose to fine & jail anyone who exercises their inalienable right to not participate. Obama/Extreme Leftists will go down in American history as the most counter-productive administrators & their policies will be seen as self-fulfilling disasters. Hooray for the dumbing down of the Nobel Peace Prize. It just lost it’s value & that’s no surprise since Nobel made his money by producing explosives which killed an entire generation of men in WWI. Obama will destroy this generation. He definitely is a Nobelite.

Obama is a sorry fool, and a simple puppet. Out of all the stupid things he has done, and the position he has put this county in. I would rather see that award and honor go to the Idiot that decided to bomb the moon to see if there is water under the surface.
Upon election of OBAMA America purchased a ticket to hell in a hand basket.

News Flash!!! Because the Yankees have the best record in the regular season, MLB is going to award the the World Series without them even playing the other team, because they show Great Promise!! Hmmm…the Nobel Peace Prize awarding process….is’nt there another organization that awards prizes to everyone just for participation….??

Just words? Just speeches? Yes, that’s all it takes to win the Nobel prize these days. The prize itself now has become a joke, and it is utterly worthless (except for the prize money, of course.) Past winners who actually DID something to win it must feel really good this morning.

Still living abroad, France, for 25+ years I live daily the results of American foreign policy and G. B. Jr has put my life in danger in certain parts of the world by simple being an American. Obama is changing all of that……SAY IT LOUD I AM AMERICAN AND PROUD!

He has worthy predecessors – Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter. Maybe the prize is a basis for comparison and is prophesyzing towards Obama’s future. Poor Alfred Nobel – his entire name and vision for this prize has fallen into disgrace. How much arm-twisting did Emanuel and Axelrod do to get the committee to choose him… I wonder…

To Failure,
THANK YOU for the wonderful comment. I couldn’t have said it better. Way to go President Obama. You are trying to do good and the critics can’t stand it. Don’t let the devils get you down. Congratulations on such a wonderful honor!

Why are the wingnuts so un-American and consistantly root against our Country? From the party of Lincoln to the party of Rush, Hannity and Beck. Nough said, you betcha!

I expect those mocking President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize were also laughing that the United States lost our bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. I also expect these people consider themselves patriots.
Hypocrites and vipers.
President Obama did not start the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he is trying to end them as expeditiously as possible. He inherited both wars and an economic disaster from his Republican predecessor, and all he has had from the Republicans is obstruction, derision and yet more false claims of their vaunted and hollow “patriotism.”
As has been said before, the Republican party is a relic of the past, and its staunchest adherents are clinging desperately to their sad, quaint nostalgia for a time when white hetero men ran everything and women, people of color and gay people “knew their place.”
Well, as President Obama and his lovely family have showed: “Their place” is in the White House. And many, many Americans and others throughout the world are proud to have them there.

LOL OH Listen to the hollier than thou. “I can’t believe it” he’s done so little” listen people the man won the noble peace prize.You can down play it, criticaize it and hate on it all you like. He’s doing a great job, a better job than any of the shady Republicans would have done.Some of you say you want the Republicans back in the white house in 2 years but I would love to know who you would vote for as a republican. What candidate? and what makes you think they would do anything different than what the Republicans did when they were in the Whitehouse with YOUR last president.

LOL Now some of you want to question when the noble peace prize was suppose to be issued. Give me a break ! Criticize,criticize, criticize. Some of you are just like the republicans, you criticize, signify and complain. The Republicans and some Democrats but mainly Republicans know how to cut down and complain about evrything this man and his staff try to do but they have nothing to offer when it comes to fixing the economic problems of your good ol america. Selfish!!!

This is an excellent pick that really shows things as they are.
Think of possibilities – If Bright Mill quit his undergrad studies, If Mr White was a black criminal, if IgNoble prize is actually instituted by Harvard, then it is possible that some partisan, dumb and inefficient politicians of Nobel committee would never be considered for nobel prize.

LOL !!! I’m still waiting for someone to post who a better candidate would be LOL!!!!!!!!! Clearly some of the hollier than thou are just appalled by this whole story. Congratulations OBAMA!!!

The silliest thing I have ever seen. This award now means nothing. The lifetime of accomplishments of real people who have earned the prize have been tarnished by awarding it to someone who has not made the world a better place in any measurable way. Maybe in 10 years he might earn it (I mean we all know they would give it to him someday), but this is just silly.

You repub/naysayers are so funny! Always trying to tear President Obama down and never succeeding! Keep posting your negative comments. It just makes you look like the desperate losers you are!! Be sure to listen to Limberger and cluster fox news for consolation through this trying time!! Meanwhile, the rest of us will do our best to try and not to gloat!!!!!

This has got to be political. The man has been in office for only 9 months!

The Nobel Prize committe said it best.
He is giving the world hope for a better future.
Name one single solitary republican who has advocated any thing but violence, murder and mayhem. for the first time in a very long time the world looks at the U.S. and does not see one gigantic school yard bully.
Well done Mr. President.

John wrote:”Plus, he has actually had a negative effect on Honduras – discouraging peace. My friends who live there have come to despise Obama for what he is doing to their country with his policies”.
Funny, my family who lives in Honduras thinks Jim Demint and his group of blithering idiots that came there to stir up trouble should be arrested for treason.

“I was teary-eyed this morning when I heard the news that our President Obama won this award. I LOVE this president and the hope that he has brought not only to our country but to the world. To all those who still insist on the negative race based comments – We are all AMERICANS – we are all hoping for the same bright future, we are all HUMAN…”
Lisa – this is the best you can do is accuse the critics of this awardee of “race Based comments”. I currently have several comments boards open on my desk & not one of them has a “race Based Comment” on them. BO has not done anything to deserve this award & it has changed the award into a meaningless honor. But hey Lisa – run with it. It will probably be the best that he can do. He’s your man & you should be honored by his incompetence because it matches your own.

Sorry, Lisa – I am black and you are absolutely clueless.

It’s just like getting an award for spelling all the words right- just like going to the grade school award ceremonies. Everybody gets an award, then when you grow up (and become prez) you expect the awards to go with just showing up! LMAOROTF – Good job to the committee for making the award what it is….hollow!

Irony: christians who don’t understand the value in oratory.

Not so much a shock when six months into his Presidency an MSNBC show had a guest on that was proclaiming the President the
“BEST” President we have ever had and no one on the panel said one word to contradict that statement.The world loves an American President that apologizes to anyone and everyone who will listen about what a bad country we are and now we will bend over backwards to appease anyone that doesn’t like us.
I also find it interesting that he gets the Peace prize while allowing Iran to pursue nukes.

Hmmmm, how to explain why this bumbling, ineffectual, lying fool deserves this award over anyone else in the world.
This is going to be interesting.

This is simple to understand..If you are a Republican, especially a Rush Limbaugh Repub..then you would think that he does not deserve the prize..If you are a Democrat and Obama supporter..then you would think that he deserves it. The committee members of Peace prize are neither..That speaks volumes! HE DESERVES IT!

A win for our President and, consequently, America and the chicken-littles get all stirred up.
Since the Nobel Prize for Peace is bestowed by a private organization upon the recipient of their choice it matters not whether any of us think/believe he is deserving. And some here have the gall to call President Obama arrogant.

For not being Bush…

There is a simple and very elegant way solving this mess:
Obama should decline the price and ask for more time to proof that he deserves it. He should give one of his great speeches and tell that he is really honored but there are people that have fought for peace for decades deserving the price right now.
That would be generous, everyone would agree and the Nobel committee still would have achieved its goal of making him politically stronger!

Sounds like another undeserved Notre Dame “honorary degree”. For doing what exactly?

What he has done is get Isral and Palistine to finally talk about peace. He has gotten Russia to agree to sanction Iran regarding the missle site. Besides, he has healed our reputation abroad with offering a hand and not a “my way or no way attitude.” Other nations are eager to talk with him not like in the past. Shame on those who are still criticizing him. Did you actually expect the worst recession in history to be turned around in 9 months? He has done much with his actions and don’t underestimate this. I say “Congratulations President Obama.

A good swap for obama, he traded America for a nobel peace prize.

thefalcon200- “I voted for Obama and I have been happy to witness his efforts to bring this nation back to a respectable position with our allies… it has been a beautiful thing to watch…”—-
________________
What was the most beautiful for you?
When he went to the G12 Summit and got NO assistance in the war in Afganistan?
Or was it when Ahmdenijhad, Norega, and Chavez openly insulted the US in thier speeches.. Other nations walked out while we sat there and listened with
a smile.
Maybe it was when we watched Iran thumb their nose at us and actually proclaim to have additional nuclear facilities..or when they tested missiles days after Obama’s “I don’t want us to be a superpower” speech to the UN that everyone praised so highly.
We are reverting back to the Carter years when everyone slapped us on the back, told us how much they respected us, then used us as a doormat…
For this he gets the Nobel Prize.. and I thought giving it to Al Gore was a joke…

Congratulations President Obama!! Keep doing what you’re doing. You are a good person. Please stay that way.

when will “The One” be canonized or beatified? I suspect that there will be a special dispensation to allow this while “The One” is still alive since how can us adoring masses be expected to wait decades before proper canonization or to pray to the self-proclaimed “The One”?
Now Obama will live on in memory with fellow compatriot Arafat as receiptience of the “peace” prize. What a joke!

Face it he was the most obvious choice for the the award his lack of action and leadership has made our troops sitting ducks and pose no threat to anyone. Thank you Mr. President I appreciate your constant apologies and excuses for the United States, Thanks for telling the world that the United States should emulate the rest of the world instead of the other way around. Thank you for tripling the debt in just 9 short months. But I guess he did bring the cop and professor together and they both apologized to each other…o wait no they didn’t, thanks for delivering the Olympic games in 2016, o wait no he didn’t, thanks for eliminating pork, o wait no he didn’t. Thanks for being fiscally responsible. o wait no he isn’t. So I guess this is me saying to you Mr. President…THANKS FOR NOTHING.

At work, do any of you receive bonuses on the PROMISE of doing something but not actually achieving it? Yeah, didn’t think so.

Wow, you can hear the exploding craniums of the Right Wingers this morning! Wonder when they are going to realize they LOST the election, LOST any credibility they ever had, and LOST the intelligent people in their party.

“Wonder when they are going to realize they LOST the election, LOST any credibility they ever had, and LOST the intelligent people in their party.”
We’re all still waiting for Obama to LEAD. Even SNL got it right. HE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING (except make things worse)!

Folks, it’s really very simple to understand: the Nobel Prize committee is tasked with recognizing, in the parting words of Alfred Nobel, “the person who shall have done the most or the best work for … the abolition or reduction of standing armies …” When youn realize how dedicated The Big O is to reducing the size of particular armies (America’s), and reducing the influence and power of a dangerous world power (again, America, at least as seen through the eyes of the oh-so-superior Social Democrats in Europe), it all becomes crystal clear. Euroweenies such as the Norwegian committee members never love America (and Americans) so much as when they/we are unilaterally weakening ourselves. When an American President steps up and accepts the burden of world leadership, that’s when the “sophisticates” of the demographic death-spiral currently known as Europe (coming soon: Eurostan!) get all huffy.

when Pres spoke in Cario Egypt he said from the koran,torra and the bible “blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of God. The NP committe confirmed because God Spoke it and now the world get it. Hope and change baby,hope and change!!!

The basis of hope is faith and he has apparently given the people of the world hope that the world will be better off if we move into another direction. Give Him time. Some people expect him to do everything at one time then complain he’s doing too much then not anough. day. What do you want him to do?

Its a prize for living in peace with his mother-in-law inside the white house

Obama follows this very important
principle “Grace before Greed.”
Enough said.

It’s the concession prize for not getting the Olympics moved to Chicago…

Ghandi leading 1/2 billion Indians to non violent revolutio=nothing Obama putting together a great speech and really accomplishing nothing= Nobel Peace prize. Im embarassed for him.

I as American Am Proud of President Obama and He deserve this Award – It is
selfishness and hate that make all this
critics unhappy por the President success-I hope it is not late for this
critics to appologize to the american
people because your insults to the Pre-
sident is an Insult to our Country-let
us not forget that He is our President & thanks to Him the World love us again

Ghandi leading 1/2 billion Indians to non violent revolutio=nothing Obama putting together a great speech and really accomplishing nothing= Nobel Peace prize. Im embarassed for him.

—————————————-I’m embarrassed for you. You suggest the committee then is the same now? That would be the equivalent to suggesting you were a slave owner.
Rightly or wrongly so the committee then had their reasons. Whatever those reasons may have been. This committee had their reasons, and stated those reasons. That you have placed such high regard on the award and now feel wronged can hardly be the fault of President Obama. And if the regard was missplaced, who’s the idiot for bestowing such regard on the award in the first place? sigh

This is America and why we will prevail no matter who is in power I will work with for the sake of my nation.I dont mind if he is black or white. I only know that he is doing very well I dont want to make comparison but have to accept that he is doing the job for peace. How do I know that? Well… Hugo Chavez shut his big mouth

For those who have forgotten their history, our Nation was formed by foreigners is why the day is celebrated Thanksgiving. Here are gathered all sorts of religions and created a single nation. They fought together against foreign attack to the end. Blacks and whites gave their blood. That’s why we prevail as a nation. They talk about Gandhi, Kissinger and others who brought a message of peace to the world but our Nation had never been in such danger as it has now. Those who have served the nation as military can give knowledge of this. Obama has been able to counteract the danger that lurks behind the fog, leaving the road and offering his hand to those nations as we want to get ahead of their miseries. I believe in globalization and therefore ami apludo Commander Obama. No matter who I am going to support him. If the peace holds continuare giving my 100% support no matter how conservative, Republican and Nationalist Socialist and a little because America is a Republic. I keep a Purple Heart and the man I love is in danger of death because they fight for freedom you both acclaim. Why not lend a hand so that our nation will prevail in peace and harmony with other nations? Only living criticizing and are not able to put his hat on somebody else! Lets keep working and pay your taxes! and God Bless America!

To all the people that dont use the common sense!
Dont argue what you dont know.
Dont talk drivel.
Speak Knowingly.
Without rascism.
These things give power of word!
