Limbaugh Unloads on Obama’s Nobel Prize

Remember when Bush said to the world “you are either with us or against us”
Well the world seems to be with Obama.
Not so much with Rush.

Rush: the King of the Losers

nobel prize is meaningless. it is only a political statement. obama has done nothing to deserve any praise by any one. the worst is yet to come.

Rush has never told anything like it is because you have to KNOW how it is it to tell it like it is. It is in Rush’s interest to keep things stirred up because it brings in more listeners which is why his dialogue is peppered with racial slurs and polemics and why he sneaks around with other people’s Viagra. If you are a true conservative, this man is doing you a great disservice by masquerading as your spokesman!

Be it as it may, how can Obama continue his efforts with the war and sanctions on Iran? This prize was definitely a political stunt to thwart any defense of the US! The head of the committee even admitted that it wasn’t awarded as an accomplishment but merely as “encouragement” to maintain peace. Newsflash: WE are not the aggressors in terrorism. How many billions of dollars do we sent to poor countries to help them? How many countries have we gone to their aid to protect them from aggressors? The US has been an outstanding country with keeping peace internationally, and it irritates me that liberals think of our country in such a derogatory way. Shame on all of you. I am proud of our country.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. ~ Matthew 5:9

the peace prize is no reflection as to what the world thinks of the US. from wikipedia, the Peace Prize should be awarded “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.” What has obama done that even resembles anything in this sentence? Must have been that 10,000 extra troops sent to Afghanistan. The only thing obama has done to deserve this prize is to destroy the US economy and cut the defense budget.

The Republicans are experiencing shock and awe. And I sympathize.
First, god puts your oil under other countries’ land.
Next, god allows a Black man to become President. And just as you were about to bring back slavery as the next logical step in your Capitalism paradise.
Finally, the rest of the world ignores Rush! And wants the US to have universal health care just like all the rest of the civilized world!!!
Why won’t god protect you? Isn’t he Republican? At least he is an NRA member, right? Right? Answer me, god. I demand you answer me.

LouisanaGranny,
Love your post, couldn’t have said it better!! Go Obama, the world loves you and feels your positive vibes!

I guess the Nobel committee doesn’t listen to Mr. Limbaugh. And frankly neither do I. I’m sure him and his followers are ready to bust wide open with their hate and rhetoric. I on the other hand have been doing a happy dance with a smile on my face since 5:00 a.m. Go president Obama. Show the world that America isn’t the hate filled arrogant nation that we were over the last 8 years. We are evolving. They are disolving.

“Hats off to the President, America is the shining star again.”
LOL!! We CREATED the subprime/credit meltdown that took down the rest of the world economy. I’m sure that wasn’t forgotten today.

This really isn’t an award for Obama. It’s an award to the citizens of the US for electing Obama over the “bomb bomb bomb, bomb bom Iran” guy. But, since they can’t give the award to the American people as a whole, they had it to the president.

thanks for cleaning the posts up.

The Nobel Prize didn’t seem to be that NOBEL anymore. It looked like a joke.
Awarding someone didn’t influence or do anything equals to promoting empty promise, empty hope, empty change.
Too bad I like Obama but I don’t like the way the NPC handling the issue.

Let’s remember they gave this award to Yassir Arafat (!) and Al Gore (for a Power Point presentation). Oh, and let’s not forget both Stalin and Hitler were once nominees. Enuf said.

Has it occurred to any of you that maybe other countries are happy that we have a “weak” president? Would it be great if we could all get along, absolutely. Will it ever happen. No. The looney tunes out there in the world will never engage with this President. They will only mock him.
What wins games? Defense. To start toning it down weakens our nation and the world is salivating.
And Patwx won’t you be laughed at when Obama does have to bomb bomb bomb, bomb bom Iran. It will be sort of ironic.

I’m proud of Obama for winning this award for his well-known work in…uh…you know, when he…uh…oh, yes, that thing he did or does…well you know what I’m talking about.

I heard on the news this morning that the nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize ended 2 weeks after Obama took office. How did he know that he would accomplish anything at that point?

There are a number of fun quotes out there – both liberal and conservative – check these out:
The Times of London: “Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of America’s first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world. Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.”
Mark Halperin: “Obama has been in office less than a year, and has few tangible accomplishments deriving from the speeches he has given or the preliminary talks his young government has engaged in. And the award comes at a time in which Obama’s role as a war president—in Afghanistan—is front and center. It isn’t quite as inexplicable as Marisa Tomei’s Best Supporting Actress Oscar, but it seems pretty close.”
Vox Day: “What on Earth can they possibly be thinking? The man hasn’t even ended the two military occupations he promised to end!”
Fred Thompson: “Shouldn’t the Nobel Peace Prize have a higher bar than high expectations?”
Peter Beinart: “I like Barack Obama as much as the next liberal, but this is a farce. He’s done nothing to deserve the prize. Sure, he’s given some lovely speeches and launched some initiatives—on Iran, Israeli-Palestinian peace, climate change and nuclear disarmament—that might, if he’s really lucky and really good, make the world a more safe, more just, more peaceful world. But there’s absolutely no way to know if he’ll succeed, and by giving him the Nobel Prize as a kind of “atta boy,” the Nobel Committee is actually just highlighting the gap that conservatives have long highlighted: between Obamamania as global hype and Obama’s actual accomplishments.”
Andrew Sullivan: “If any person has done more to advance some measure of calm, reason and peace in this troubled word lately, it’s president Obama. I think the Cairo speech and the Wright speech alone merited this both bridging ancient rifts even while they remain, of course, deep and intractable.”
Nicholas Kristof: “I admire his efforts toward Middle East peace, but the prize still seems very premature. What has he done? . . . [I]t seems to me that it might have made sense to wait and give Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in his eighth year in office, after he has actually made peace somewhere.”
Emanuele Ottolenghi: “If President Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize less than one year into his presidency, what can he aspire to by the time he leaves office? If fate allows it, the seat of St Peter will be vacant — and if not, we are sure the pope will graciously resign. Short of that, one can always count on the UN secretary-general’s post to be on offer.”
Daniel Pipes: “My prediction: The absurdity of the prize decision will harm Obama politically in the United States, contrasting his role as international celebrity with his record devoid of accomplishments”
Frank J: “And for the record, this makes a mockery of the prize. There is no way Obama has had time to accomplish as much peace as Arafat did.”

It is amazing how a country can get into such a negative frenzy when the President gets a compliment. Do you have any idea how we look??????
Trashing our President and frothing at the mouth feeling good about it????
Oh I forgot we are more intelligent than the whole world right….. Everyone but us is dumb and do not know what they are saying but the superior American…….
Cant anyone take a compliment and say thank you?

Maureen: Exactly! We look like a bunch of nitwits in the eyes of the world…Rush is the biggest nitwit of all. We should be celebrating our President’s award not bashing him.

Encouraging terrorism? Not according to President Shimon Peres of Israel, a Nobel prize-holder.
“Very few leaders if at all were able to change the mood of the entire world in such a short while with such a profound impact. You provided the entire humanity with fresh hope, with intellectual determination, and a feeling that there is a lord in heaven and believers on earth.”

Allies look dismally upon conflict of any type so…ask them to start repaying their debts to U.S. (?) they probably wouldn’t like that either! Unless, we owe any of them more of course but I doubt it! Their assigned debt is not even equal to 1 dead soldier,and WE have lost more than that!

I think this can only hurt Obama. I’ve never been a fan of the President, but I’m also a rabid hater of Rush and his rantings. But looking at this I see a big problem looming.
Teddy Roosevelt said America’s foreign policy should be to speak softly and carry a big stick
Bush spoke loudly and brandished the stick often, but now Obama is making the same mistake in opposite; he’s putting the stick down and trying to hug everyone. The enemies we have in this world will NOT respect a leader who wants to be best buds with everyone because they’re ideologists, and america is the embodiment of everything they hate.
THAT is where we need the stick.
If America loses Afganistan and we’re responsible for EVERY DROP OF BLOOD SPILLED from that point onward, and if we think now is bad, we’re talking teaspoons to rivers.
If Obama is influenced by this prize to not listen to his commanders on the ground and to deny them more troops then it will all fall.
Of course, he could use the prestige of this prize to influence other nations to help in Afganistan, get Russia and China on board for Economic sanctions on Iran, and smash the Taliban and other terrorist-funding organizations, therefore stabalizing the world and bringing about a new era in global politics and economics.
I may not like the guy, but if he succeeds then my nation is better off, so It’s pretty obvious who I’m rooting for here. I’m not going to take the Rush approach (which is exactly the same as the Liberal Anti-Bush approach mind you) and try to destroy the figurehead just because he doesn’t do things my way.
Rush, he’s the friggan president, how about suggesting how he can do better rather then ranting about what he does wrong (according to you)

So, will Obama, fresh from being given the Nobel PEACE Prize, now be able to send more troops to Afghanistan, dangle the threat of military action against Iran for their nuclear bomb-building efforts, or attack terrorism in a forceful way? This award was the Nobel committees way of trying to influence the political affairs of our country. To this point, Obama has done nothing more than talk. Apparently, to the Nobel committee, words matter more than deeds.

“Gore, Carter, now Obama…there’s a pattern here any idiot can see.”
Yes, symbols of hope and peace are valued – hence the title Nobel PEACE prize, not Nobel Let’s-Start-a-Senseless-War prize.

The sparkle of the Nobel Peace Prize is forever tarnished. It’s value diminished by awarding it to an individual who has yet to prove his mettle. This is a huge slap in the face to former recipients. What a sad day in history.

I am glad an American won, but at least give it to someone who has accomplished something. He does not deserve this and he even admitted that himself. I have never seen someone obtain so much with so little substance. To be President and win this prize should require more than a good speech. Obama said this is a “Call to Action” Wrong Mr. President! This award should be decided on “Past Actions” and Obama has nothing.

Limbaugh is still a big fat idiot, Stuart Smiley is a Senator, and Barack Obama is a good man facing a set of daunting challenges. Good for the Nobel committee. Pray for OUR president.

I love these libs that cry and call you unamerican when you dont support the President, but that is all they did during the 2 terms Bush was in office.

Rush and Steele……..small little, bitty men…..hehehehe.

I think you hit the nail on the head! enough said. Why be Republican you may actually have to work for a living!

Ok, has an independent, I’m the first to say Bush was a fool, but this is the worst thing that could happen to obama. It takes away ANY credibility he might have gained among his critics. Their biggest criticism was that the press ushered him into the presidency, that they handed it to him…and handing him the nobel prize without him earning it only validates this view.
IF HE’S SMART (and I think he is) he’ll TURN DOWN THE AWARD…to his critics,AND EVEN MANY OTHERS (INCLUDING ME) it’s got “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” written all over it.

Wow. You leftist idiots simply don’t get it. Those of us who are Fighting for our very freedoms and liberty that this country was bestowed with (and for which YOU also enjoy), are now called the “haters” of America. You naturally, any opposition is labeled as racist, fascist, Nazi, and etc. Fascinating. The destruction of our country is happening right before YOUR eyes and you applaud it! You actually are delighted the country is failing and bankrupt. (I’m still waiting for a leftist, Marxist idiot to explain the “propsperity” of liberal economics? High taxes, high unemployment, and outright govt. control is hardly a recipe for success). This country is being “knee-capped” by our first U.S. dictator; punishment for 230+ years of unsurpassed prosperity and freedom. The only nation in the world which such distinction; and YOU guys on the Left despise, ridicule, and disparge that standing!! Just “who’s” side are you guys on??? (it sure as hell ain’t ours) If congratulations are in order for King Hussein, I’d look at the company he now shares that distinquished award with…Yassar Arafat, Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter–terrorists, traitors, failures, and frauds. Some accolade!!! (I guess you guys aren’t smart enough to figure out that the Left hates the United States and that’s why they love Obama) Obama is the best friend Osama bin Laden could ever have. He’s doing his dirty work for him!! For free!!

I’m not a democrat, I’m not a republican, I’m an independent voter. I congratulate President Obama for humbly accepting the Nobel prize he’s been awarded and I believe he is worthy of it because he has diligently worked, with his high level of diplomacy, in repairing the image the world had of the EEUU, after the damage the arrogant republican administration took 8 years to do. It’s a shame the skeptics can’t appreciate the president for what he is: a brilliant, gutsy, multitasker that will bring good things to our country.

Seems to me that I never (or very rarely) hear the “right” or conservatives calling the “left” or liberals haters or other names. We disagree, so that makes us stupid, astro-turfers, haters, dumb, idiots, etc. to the left. Wow, didn’t know they had no idea how to have a thought of their own other than the hate they spew! What you don’t realize is that names will never hurt us!! You’re wasting your time on these blogs because you don’t have your own thoughts, you just degrade ours. Get a life, start reading things, listen to BOTH sides for a change, and you may be able to make an INFORMED decision before you die. The left OR the right are never always correct. We used to be able to disagree without your hateful mouths…now it’s YOU who are dividing the nation. The media started it with the RED or BLUE states…how stupid was that. Before long, there will be another civil (political) war in this country…it’s already started. Thanks Obama…for that. You won, you and your czars, Pelosi, Biden wanted to bring America down for the muslims, and you’ve done a fine job!!!

OSLO did not want to be accused of being racist – thats why he won it.
Plus he uses such pretty words when he talks.

Obama should decline this award due to the following reasons 1. We are still in Iraq. 2. We still have the exact same wire tapping policy you Liberals protested under Bush. 3. Gitmo is still open. 4. Afghanistan is more Dangerous today than any time during the Bush Presidency. He should follow the example set by Le Duc Tho who declined the 1973 Peace Prize—jointly awarded to him and Henry Kissinger—because it was awarded to them even though Vietnam was not yet at peace.

“The destruction of our country is happening right before YOUR eyes and you applaud it!”
And who applauded and cheered when the US lost the Olympic bid? The right-wing because whatever’s bad for America is good for them, or so they think.
“I’m still waiting for a leftist, Marxist idiot to explain the “propsperity” of liberal economics?”
And I’m still waiting to see the benefits to the middle-class from “trickle-down”. And I’m waiting to see the recovery from an out-of-control financial market who burned down the country while the Bush Admin. fiddled.
“High taxes, high unemployment, and outright govt. control is hardly a recipe for success.”
Econmic data is cherry-picked by both sides – whatever is bad is the President’s fault while whatever is good is despite the President.
“This country is being “knee-capped” by our first U.S. dictator…”
Geez, now you’re just plain lying. There’s was an election, remember? An honest-to-God election without a court having to decide who won. Your side lost and now you feel justified in whatever crazy claims you want to make. That’s an example of being a bad American citizen.
“Just “who’s” side are you guys on??? (it sure as hell ain’t ours)…”
And just who do you mean by “ours”? Are you referring to the losers of the last election? I’m on the side of the American people, but sadly, the opposition has decided that it’s better to cheer America’s failures and spit at winning party.
“Obama is the best friend Osama bin Laden could ever have. He’s doing his dirty work for him!!”
Well, that famous radical pacifist Commie President Shimon Peres of Isreal disagrees with you:
“Very few leaders if at all were able to change the mood of the entire world in such a short while with such a profound impact. You provided the entire humanity with fresh hope, with intellectual determination, and a feeling that there is a lord in heaven and believers on earth.”
Geez, those Isrealis are always electing lovers of terrorism, aren’t they?

Bob Schiefer and another reporter on CBS both have stated he didn’t deserve it. It was to make Bush look bad. Go to their website and watch it.

IF IT JUST WAS NOT FOR THOSE BIG LIPS.

“What in the Hell has this clown done that warrants anything even close a Nobel ? Come on, supply me with some facts about his accomplishments, if you can…..”
Geez, do any of you ever bother to read what other people have posted BEFORE shooting your mouth off? But why should you when you already know everything, right?
Well, let me repeat….
Those of you who are complaining that the Nobel Peace Prize went to Obama despite a lack of big accomplishments are showing your ingnorace.
The prize is not always awarded to those with a record but sometimes its given to reward and encourage those people that are trying to acheive great things.
You would know that if you bothered to educate yourself about the Nobel prize BEFORE shooting your mouth off.

The problem with the right is that they have such narrow vision – have they not recognized what the image of our country was during the bush admin? You have to look at President Obama and the receipt of this award from a world view, not a domestic one. This is a recognition of the rebirth, leadership and admiration of the United States. I’m proud of my President and my country and of about 80% of it’s inhabitants. The other 20% – known as the republican base – are throwing juvenile temper tantrums.

“What has President Obama actually DONE to deserve this award?”
Look, this person can’t even be bothered to read the post right before theirs before showing their ignorance.
Talk about narrow vision…

They don’t give a laudry list of details, but if I had to guess I would say that they probably had in mind his speech before the election on race in America. After the nomination I’m sure they took note of his speech in Cairo, which I’m sure you’re familiar with, right?
“Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire.”
He said that Jerusalem should be a “secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims …”
“There is so much fear, so much mistrust. But if we choose to be bound by the past, we will never move forward.”
Gee, with that last quote its almost like he was talking about America and not just the Middle East.

Limburger just keeps smelling!! Yep, I bet he and his Republican buddies are upset. Maybe he should take another pill obviously he’s still high. But, maybe I shouldn’t be to critical of someone that was deferred 6 times for those horrible, horrible hemorrhoids. The condition has moved up to his mouth except its diarrhea of the face.

iran number 1, russia number 1, usa ha phooey

Rush, youre seriously overweight and its affecting your brain.

Geecee you are so right. Limbaugh deserves nothing.

Bows down to others, apologizes for this country, puts us, our kids and grand kids deep into debt, hires how many tax cheats and cronies……yep I can see how he deserves this(NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I do not hate Obama, but to say he deserved the Nobel Prize for Peace is wrong. Bush did more for peace than Obama has.
No wonder Obama has been stalling in sending extra troops to the war effort in Afghanistan. If he had he may have missed out on the prize. I am worried.

Obama was chosen for this award based on 11 days in office. Are you people kidding me thinking he deserves this? Those of you who think Obama is loved by all worldwide, think again, and try getting info outside of the elite news media, and you’ll see differently. And thank you all for once again proving that liberals are usually incapable of substantive criticism with personally attacking those with whom they disagree. God save us from this Obama nightmare.

As always Rush’s mouth runs faster then his biain (opps sorry Rush is now drug free)I am neather a fan or oppisition to President Obama but do congratulate him and wish him well in his efforts

Limbaugh should keep his unloading for the bathroom.

Since he felt so unworthy to receive the award, but still intends to accept it, how about he use the prize money to pay for the trip instead of donating it to charity? Right now, the United States of America’s economy is a massive charity case. Don’t use tax money to pay for a trip to receive a personal award.
For the record, I don’t hate the President. I despise his policies.

Why do so many people think that they have a better understanding of the intent and purpose of the Nobel Prize than the members of the committee that award it?

I am so proud of our president. We had oru former president in office for eight years. I wonder why are things so comfusing. Or, is it they didn’t know what was going on. How could President Obama screw up the USA in nine months?
Count your blessings. And thank God for what you have.
Granny in CA

It doesn’t mater. Steele, Limbaugh, MCConnell, it’s there job to attempt to destroy the American Presidency. No matter what President Obama accomplishes, they are the obstacles to moving American Forward.

From today I make no difference between alqaida members and the GOP traitors especially the conservatives.

It is not about how the International community looks upon the US. Obama has apologized and bowed before others showing a willingness to submit Americans to the wishes of others.
Under Obama we are losing friends fast. Eastern Bloc countries are concerned, Israel is worried and Iraq wonders if we will leave them to the wolves.
But we have replaced those unneeded countries with the likes of North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya and others.
The prize was a joke and they gave it to him because they felt bad that he lost the Olympics for Chicago and America.

On the idea of giving out awards before the accomplishment, Rush said that the NFL has awarded the Kansas Chiefs the Super Bowel for this year on the basis of how hard they are trying.
Limbaugh is a national treasure, a combination of Will Rogers and H. L. Mencken.

if you are an obama supporter or not you have to think… what did this guy do to deserve the friggin nobel peace prize? nothing… the award is supposed to be given for accomplishments, not ideas…
obama should have respectfully declined the honor so that when he’s forced to send more troops he doesn’t have his foot in his mouth…

Interesting – most comments from supporters of Obama’s Peace Prize spew hate.

As usual, on the rare occasions when Rush is correct, he fails to use rational logic or facts to support his position. (plenty available on this issue)
Just like his rant against the H1N1 vaccinces, the only logic is, “liberals are behind it so I am against it”.
Not that this is necessarily bad. Since his audience is working with one lobe of their brain tied behind their back, and Fox News can’t do it all, Rush provides a public service by telling them what to think.
It is however, very unsettling to live in a world where Rush Limbaugh is right about anything.

same old–same old–Rush has been popular for 20+ years–where would you get the idea his agenda is to bring Obama down? Obama was unknown for 17 of Rush’s radio host years! Give us all a break, lefties and listen to Rush once instead of lying about him.

It just goes to show how far marketing can take an empty suit.
Limbaugh or no Limbaugh, this award diminishes any meaning in the title.

It’s no surprise. Limbaugh makes a living using a combination of hatred, confusion, lies, bigotry, division and ignorance. “Peace” is the last thought I would ever associate with Limbaugh. If there were peace among Americans and peace in the world Limbaugh would have no job. His career is dedicated directly against peace. He is scared of a more peaceful world. It’s very threatening to him.

Jim Rod posted “I have had enough of the lies and I had eneough when he apologised that we are an arrogant nation.”
Bad news Jim. Under Bush we were extremely arrogant. “You’re either with us or with the terrorists”. Remember that. That is about as arrogant as it gets.
Yes, we do help a great deal of people BUT it is also very arrogant of you to believe that our government is perfect and incapable of making mistakes. You really have to close your eyes very tightly to believe that! And also, a number of the actions our government has done to other nations IS why 9/11 happened. Go read the 9/11 commission’s report. “They hate us because of our freedoms” is pure NONSENSE!

I believe the economy began crashing during Bush’s last term in office just before Obama took office. How short your memory is when you hate. I’ve known the economy was going south for about five to six years now. And I know its going to take at least that long to turn it around and get it going again. I’m what’s known as a realist! I know its not going to be fixed in an instant. It’s an economy. Things done this quarter to fix it won’t show up until next quarter or the quarter after that. Obama hasn’t even been in office for three quarters yet and you’re expecting instant results. Grow up!

It’s a good thing we have Rush. Otherwise the media love fest would non stop. We used to count on the media to present challenges to the administration. Now that duty falls to talk show hosts and Fox News. Sad!

some of you people i will never understand First off Obama has done nothing for usa but give Billions to wall street bailed out the banks and lot that he helped are going under. he gave Billions out and sait it would qreate many jobs well i am still waiting for the jobs. the problem is we keep losing jobs. he is trying to push Health care down the Americans. He wants to cut Medicre spending Billions and they are not paying enough now. also the Young Americans that are Health he will make them pay for Health care. Lot of you people think you are going to get Health care for nothing Dream on. Now as for as the nobe he won what did he do to deserve it. He talked down about the American people while talking to Europe. Maybe that is why he got it. I believe any American that put there Lives on the line in Combat deserve the prize lot moor then he will every will. I put my self on the line in Vietnam i done it for like lot of other Americans for the Uuited States. Obama has never been in the service. Oh i for got he though about going in what a Joke. lot of you Democrate think if you are against the President you are a Obama hater. you are nuts. people do not like Obama because he is trying to destroy USA.

Rush: your hate and distortions make me sick. The world needs people who love not hate so you do not fit in. This award was given for the hope he gave to the countries that someone in the United States cares and is willing to work with them to achieve peace. He has achieved much by just getting Isral and Palestine to talk and shake hands. We have not had that kind of a leader in a long time. While you are condemning our President for the things he does, just remember that Bush did NOTHING for 8 years to prevent this economy from crashing. It started long before Obama. It cannot and will not be fixed in 9 months. Remember, it was Bush who wanted to give the banks the money when Obama and Mc Cain did not but they supported our president as that is what good Americans do. Did Bush address health care, job losses, mortgage failures, the banks, no,no,no and no. Why is it that you choose to single out this president who is trying and will get a health care bill even without the support of the republicans. I have been a republican for many years and do not recognize the party anymore. So much hate and bitterness and not much else. I was disappointed that we did not fix things when we had the chance. To just say we messed up is not the answer. We need to work together because that is what America is all about. We are all Americans, Democrats, Republicans and Independents and to put this wide divide between our people is wrong and not productive. President Obama has achieved much in his short time and he was the first president to speak in countries where others would not go. I am proud of him and this award and yes, he does deserve it. You deserve soap in your mouth.

You people posting negative comments about Rush obviously don’t listen to his show or know anything about which you speak. Obama is an unaccomplished politician. You losers are pathetic.

Name one thing Rush Limbaugh has done for the greater good of the United States of America.

Yes, well, Rush Limbaugh is never going to be a candidate for a peace prize, that’s a certainty.
But if they offered a Nobel in “Gratuitous Incendiary Rhetoric Directed at the Lowest Common Denominator” he’d be a cinch.
And I’m an Obama supporter who doesn’t think the President should have received the Prize.

Rush Limbaugh is a hate monger whose lack of patriotism is a glaring indicator of the type of American he is. The President of the United States, the country Limbaugh is a citizen of, has won a Nobel prize and Rush is against it? Rush does not want our nation’s leader to be seen as a great man?
Rush, what are you for? Dirty water? Child molestation? Fatter talk show hosts? More pollution and war?
That this kind of hate mongering nay-sayer gets any airtime at all should make true Americans shut off the radio and tv when they hear his voice.

Rush Limbaugh is a gasbag. Those of us who cringe at he sound of his voice let alone the sight of his face are people who think for ourselves. We don’t have to depend upon a media pinhead to get us worked up and send us on a mindless mission. Go Mr. President. You deserve all of the kudos you receive.

OB-Wan222 said: “Gore, Carter, now Obama…there’s a pattern here any idiot can see.”
And He did!

The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded, sometimes for the inspiration of hope to a great multitude of people. That’s why MLK received it. His dream was not yet fulfilled when he was awarded the prize, nor upon his untimely death, remember. Hope is intangible, Rom 8:24-25 24)….but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? 25)But if we hope for what we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. Our president, our American president, inspired the world to hope (trust), that our president would lead in the restoration of global relationships. Well deserved to those who understand! For the rest of you, maybe you’ll get it later. Keep hope alive, though…LOL!

One thing we fell to realize as a United people. The president of the United States is our president. Differences aside, when it is us getting honored we should accept it as honoring our country. It saddens me however to see that we are so full of hate, prejudice, and divide that we are displaying to the world our true identity as a country just as we did during the sixties when a state was fire hosing and sicking dogs on people just because as citizens they wanted to vote. Good job my divided Americans.

And guess what? I don’t care whether you think I’m a hater or NOT! I can think what I want, and you can do NOTHING about it.

If Obama thinks that he can make peace with Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations and rogue states in the world, then he should accept the Nobel Peace Prize. But if he intends to fight global terrorism, then he should decline the prize. That would make Obama the second person in history to do so. (The first one was Le Duc Tho in 1973).

SIMPLE……SCHOOL KIDS DEFINE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AS BEING “UPSIDE DOWN”, MEANING THE UNEDUCATED(RUSH LIMBAUGH)IS LEADING THE EDUCATED MICHEAL STEEL, JOHN McCAIN, KAY HUTCHISON, CONDIE RICE, AND ETC.
KEEP UP THE WORK RUSH. AMERICA NEEDS AND UNEDUCATED LEADER? THINK OF THE MONIES WE CAN SAVE OF EDUCATION.

This is amazing, the liberals who defend BHO for getting a Nobel prize for essentially nothing, attack the right messengers instead of dealing with the argument presented. This is the mantra of liberals, never deal with the argument and facts, just blame who presented. Do you remember the Romans that simply killed messengers if they did not like the message. What hypocrites

Many of you ascribe too much “power” to Limbaugh. He’s a radio personality and is not the leader of any movement or of conservitives. Obama did nothing to earn the Nobel but I’m not surprised. If the Norwegians’ would award the terrorist Yasser Arafat the award in 1994, why not Obama?

It appears the the haters on the left. They seem to hate Bush and Rush. Lets put it this way why is Rush right most of the time and Obama is wrong. By the way there are 5 people who get to vote for the Nobel Peace Prize. A lot of it based on the political ideology. In other words they could be wrong.

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

I Think that people who likes to talk
contemptuosly about others, are not making peace they are sowing hate and discord. That kind of people are doing war and are the scum of the society.
Do and collaborate with the peace Work with Obama hand with hand, soulder with shoulder and you are going to write a new page in the History of our Country.
Dont ask what your Country can do for you. Ask What you can do for your Country!

Rush, keep talking! Far right wing hate mongers keep it up also! Your scaring the Independents silly! None of you have learned. Independents in my area have a breakfast every other month to discuss what is going on in politics. Today was amazing. As one speaker said ” I was concerned about the spending, I know we need to dig ourselves out of this hole, but the spending made me very nervous, but after seeing and hearing the right wing reactions to the Olympics and the Peace Prize, these are not the people I want representing me! Death panels and what’s up with Michelle Bachmann? The blatant disrespect during our Presidents speech, no, they are no better than the Taliban come to America!” Got a standing ovation! So keep talking..please!

If the world loves Obama so much why dont they help us in Afghanistan??? The liberals said it was Bush’s fault he is gone now….

Let’s go back to the campaign of 2008. If you remember the GOP was taking turns at ridiculing both Obama’s race (Limbaugh called him a Halfrican) and his funny name – rather unaware that Hussein and Barack are two of the most common names in the Islamic world.
Let’s remember the GOP’s pledge to “bomb Iran” and to go to war not only in Iran, but also in Georgia, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. Let’s remember GOP columnist Ann Coulter’s solution to Middle East problems. Basically bomb their cities, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.
Let’s remember the lynch mob atmosphere of fear, greed, hatred, and ignorance that Sarah Palin stirred up every time she made an appearance.
And let’s remember the carnage of the Iraq war, a war Bush started simply because Halliburton wanted control of Iraq’s oil and because Bush wanted to be known as a wartime President. And let’s also remember that the GOP to this day refuses to acknowledge that global climate change exists, and has absolutely no response to what will ultimately be the most serious threat to the survival of humanity.
In spite of a 24/7 fear and smear campaign waged not only by the GOP, but also by most of the media, Barack Obama stood up against this toxic atmosphere and declared a new beginning for the world. And the right wing has the nerve to say that Barack Obama hasn’t done anything.
Haters.
That’s the term that comes to my mind. As a retired teacher who spent a life time teaching in an inner city high school in south Los Angeles, I know them when I see them.
If you are unfamiliar with the inner city, haters is the word. my students used it to describe a clique of students, usually girls, who refused to accomplish anything productive, and instead spent their energies bad-mouthing students who tried to make something out of their lives.
I also saw the same mentality behind a bumper I saw one day which said “MY KID BEAT UP YOUR HONOR STUDENT.” Recently an honor student in Chicago was beaten to death by a gang of thugs. That tragedy is NOT new. Killing like that have occurred in Los Angeles on a regular basis, and one of the reasons I rarely left my classroom was to provide a safe haven for students during the school day.
So all the hatred and animosity that the GOP and the right wing spews simply proves that they are no better than the thugs and know-nothings back at my former school.
Let’s consider Obama’s own reaction to receiving the Peace Prize
´I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations.”
AND
“We can’t accept a world in which more people are denied opportunity and dignity that all people yearn for — the ability to get an education and make a decent living; the security that you won’t have to live in fear of disease or violence without hope for the future.”
AND
“This award is not simply about the efforts of my administration — it’s about the courageous efforts of people around the world.
And that’s why this award must be shared with everyone who strives for justice and dignity — for the young woman who marches silently in the streets on behalf of her right to be heard even in the face of beatings and bullets; for the leader imprisoned in her own home because she refuses to abandon her commitment to democracy; for the soldier who sacrificed through tour after tour of duty on behalf of someone half a world away; and for all those men and women across the world who sacrifice their safety and their freedom and sometime their lives for the cause of peace.”
You will never find such quality of leadership in the GOP, Wall Street, and certainly NOT in the media. And you certainly did not see these words coming out of the mouth of President Bush who started a war so he could be called a war president, and who expected streets, public squares and cities to be renamed in his honor.
Obama made it clear that the Nobel Peace Prize was not his prize but a prize for the American people. The gang of GOP, right-wing haters who are no on the attack don’t hate Obama – they hate America. Like the ignorant, indolent adolescents I described, they have not positive vision for themselves or for America, and they cannot stand to America transcend the gutter if ignorance, violence, hatred, and fear that they themselves inhabit. Just like the Taliban, they want to see America fail.

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

Hey…I say it’s going to rain in Phoenix, AZ today. And I’m going to make the rich poor; and the poor rich.(I just lied…do I get an award too?)
Obama’s not a leader. He’s not Presidential material. He’s just what he is. A community organizer. (that’s without caps by the way.) He puts on paper to organize, like a architech draws plans for a house. But neither one of them can hammer a nail into a stud. Or lead a horse to water.

“I do not feel I deserve to be in the company” of other winners.”… I couldn’t have said it better! 0dumber should’ve turned it down.

Why dont give a peace award to the woman that didnt want to attend my daughter cause she is not ultra white like me and noted she was latin desendant?
That not make sense!She was in Armed Forces and is medical discharge for injuries in service. Who can tell me what to do? Kill the woman?

Rush Hudson Limbaugh III (pronounced /ˈlɪmbɔː/; born January 12, 1951) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. Limbaugh rose to prominence during the 1990s as host of a nationally-syndicated talk-radio show, The Rush Limbaugh Show. A frank advocate of conservatism, Limbaugh attracts a large audience and is regarded as one of the most influential talk show personalities in the United States.[citation needed]
Limbaugh was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. His family has a long history in Republican politics, including several members who were judges. When Limbaugh was 16 years old he began working at a local radio station. After attending Southeast Missouri State University for a year he dropped out of college. In the early 1970s, Limbaugh moved to Pennsylvania to work as a radio disc jockey, using the alias Jeff Christie on the air. In 1984, Limbaugh began working as a talk show host in Sacramento, California. His distinctively styled program featured no guests, relying exclusively on his emblem of conservative political analysis. In 1988, Limbaugh moved to New York City and began national broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show on WABC radio. His three-hour program made Limbaugh well-known.
In the 1990s Limbaugh’s fame grew beyond radio and into other media, such as publishing and television. He became a bestselling author with his books The Way Things Ought to Be (1992) and See, I Told You So (1993). From 1992 to 1996 Limbaugh hosted a half-hour television talk show. Limbaugh frequently accuses the American mainstream media of having a strong liberal bias.

He is using the people of white collar for his own benefit.He is inmerse in my party looking for money and benefits.

The Bush administration devised a carefully-constructed mechanism to lead the U.S. to war with Iraq.
First, they manufactured a problem, declaring that Iraq was a grave danger to the United States:
• Arguing that Iraq was a threat to America and to the peace of the world, through its alleged arsenal of weapons of mass destruction and ties to terrorist networks.
• Asserting there was a grave and growing danger from Iraq, thus there was an
urgency to act.
• Cultivating widespread anxiety by propagating fear stories about enemies seeking
to do the American people great ha
