The Nobel Peace prize has become a joke. It is purely political but of course it won’t be spun that way. No one has a conscience anymore. Given the absolute slap in the face Obama’s ego had to endure with the Olympics shut down…this will probably make him feel better…eh? After all it’s how people feel about themselves that’s most important right, not if they are truly deserving. The example starts at the top. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm.

The Nobel Prize for Obama is an embarrasment and should be rejected by him and offered by him to someone more deserving. Moreover, it is clearly a political act having nothing to do with the actual accomplishment of peace. Many, many well intentioned people in the thrall of wishful thinking have actually torpedoed peace and, in the area of peace and war, results matter. Perhaps we should rename the award the Neville Chamberlain Award as a tribute to articulate wishful thinking and give up the pretense of actual accomplishments.

It was bad enough Al Gore was given this, but at lease there was some sort of basis the Nobel committee could point to, although it was misguided. But what has Obama ever done to deserve any award? This joke totally diminishes the value of this award.

Excellent, though somewhat tongue-in-cheek analysis
of the Nobel Prize Award to President Obama.
To give such laudatory international ‘recognition’
to someone, based on what they ‘might’ be able to
accomplish in the future seems beyond absurd and
suggests a loss of reality in judgement by the Oslo
oligarchs. Without sounding conspiratorial, this
whole scenario smacks of the socialistic one-world
government theory that has been bandied about for a
couple of years. In jest, I’m sure, some are suggesting that Obama be nominated as head of the
E.U. as well, securing an even more consummate role
as the leader of the ‘free’ world.

Nobel Peace Prize? For what?

October 9, 2009 Ron, Derry NH writes:

You are spot on.
Giving an award for; Hope he makes some change in the world, is childish and demeaning to those dying to make a difference.

This is just more of the delinquency toward reality that elitists add to the game of life where their pomposity outweighs their relevance by actions done like this, to promote intentions of some one they have pre chosen for grandiosity with no proof.

This award has been cheapened into a political accommodation to promote intellectual hijacking over actual deeds and principles.

It has shown that the reason peace is so hard to achieve is that even the well intentioned, supposed intellectual will lie, abuse their position and fraud the public to maintain and promote their chosen type of people, even while others more worthy rot in prisons or are beaten and murdered defending true peace.

A callous disregard for actions committed in a life with the transference of accreditation to another without a deed of merit, for blatant self promotion is the reasons people distrust others and peace becomes such a struggle.

The Nobel Prize committee has chosen to exemplify why trust is so easily lost and how hard it is to keep.

October 9, 2009 Normca writes:

Obama has done more than nothing. His words do not mean anything. What he has said is that he wants a world without nukes and plans to remove a defensive weapon in Europe. He wants to unilaterally disarm America and weaken America so that it is equal to the rest of world - eliminate the super power. That is why he received this award which has become worthless from the days of its beginning. He speaks words the rest of world has said and feels. He has apologized for our country, apologized for freeing the world’s people. Liberals who call us Neocons are all about intentions and not about deeds. This award, like its present recipient is a sham. Now he has something else like Algore, a meaningless statute, for meaningless men.

William Manchester, in The Last Lion, reports that when Chamberlain returned to England from selling out the Czechs with his “peace in our time” promise, that the press were adulatory: “No conqueror returning from a victory on the battlefield,” The Times trumpeted, “has been adorned with nobler laurels.”

Peace is a worthy goal, but it is only the achievement, not the wishing for, that counts. We had better hope that Obama fares better than Mr. Chamberlain did. The Nobel Prize laurels are prematurely worn, as they have been before. did!

But his ego won’t let him.

Wondering if the next Olympic medals might not follow suit. Why bother with achievements or competition. Let’s just judge them on a bit of hope and promise. Why not give out the Olympic gold, silver, and bronze to those competitors who show good promise for tomorrow?

Because of the “fall” of mankind in the Garden of Eden, we are born with a sin nature and therefore live in a sinfilled world.

Due to this, we need military might to dissuade and discourage our enemies from attacking us and our allies. First we need God’s help and divine intervention, but God also uses armies to do His will and fighting also.

I disagree with Obama’s nuclear disarmament for America anywhere in the world. How can we trust our enemies to disarm? This will only give them more of an advantage.

This nobel prize awarded to Obama is a joke. The worldly (not Godly) “powers that be” obviously are consoling him for his blantant childish act of wasting taxpayer money and taking two jets to Copenhagen to try to persuade them to give Chicago and the people “he owes” the Olympics.

In my estimation, Obama is the poster child and vehicle to help usher in a One World Government/System. They needed to make him look good after another of his blunders in the Copenhagen fiasco.

What better way to do it and make it a global recognition, than awarding him the nobel peace prize…again I say, what a joke.

This is another disappointment for me and shows where we are headed…and it isn’t good or beneficial for America.

Wasn’t Yassir Arafat endowed with the same prize, just a few years ago ?!

May we expect the same prize for Mr. Ahmadinedjad, next year, now that he has “come clean” on the “secret” 2cnd Iranian nuclear concentration plant?

Why has Fidel Castro been so far denied this “honor”? Did he not facilitate for over 40 years the “peaceful coexistence” in close Caribbean quarters of the Soviet Bloc and the USA, while facilitating “peace and prosperity” in Cuba?

Last, not least, doesn’t this constitute a special mandate to BHO to receive forthwith the Dalai Lama at the White House?

This made more sense to me than the gobbledygook that escaped the evident foul up in msn.com’s system. Therefore, relying on Tutu’s quote as set out above, I better understand the award going to Obama.

Oh, it is possible Tutu was speaking in some foreign language unfamiliar to me, but even so his quoted remarks best explain, to me anyway, the noble decision.

The Europeans have “lobbed a football into American politics”?

Au contraire! It’s more like the Europeans have lobbed another thinly disguised multiple warhead missile into our American value systems/”politics” by giving their Comrade Obama their “Nobel (so-called) Peace Prize”, not for any real accomplishments for real world peace (and the freedom and security which real peace requires), but instead to promote the ultimate dream and goal which those such as Obama share with them.

And what ultimate dream and goal is that they share with such as Obama?

It is a so-called “New World Order”, ruled by a “One World (Leftist) Government” oligarchy, the only thing yet to be seen being who will be its’ “President” or “General Secretary” or “Chairman” or “Dear Leader”.

Of course, as history repeatedly shows and proves to this day, there’s nothing “new” about the so-called “Progressive” Left’s ideas and ways which make individuals and whole populations subservient to government and/or its’ ruler.

Instead, our Republic (not democracy), the United States of America, is the new idea and way, the exception among all of history, based on our Constitutional principles of limited government and individual rights, freedoms, and prosperity, which, like a rising tide, tends to “raise all boats”, and has produced the freest, strongest, most prosperous and generous individuals and nation ever on the face of the earth.

But of course both “We the People of the United States” and freedom-loving people throughout the world can yet lose the freedoms, prosperity, and security which are this “last best hope of mankind, the USA.

In fact, evidently, we are in the process of losing it all, and all we have to do to keep doing so is keep falling for Leftist government elitists and statists such Obama and such as the similarly elitist political tool which is being made of the Nobel Peace Prize.

President Obama, being the well-liked person that he is, it will almost obviously seem mean-spirited to criticize anyone wanting to give him an award, for any reason. However, I must criticize the 2009 Nobel award.

Taking into account the January 2009 cut off point for nominations, and the short time the President has been in office, it is clear that both his “nomination” and “choice” were foregone conclusions. This, in my view, demeans not the President but the nomination. Popularity and politics ruled out every other consideration.

However, take the nomination of Morgan Tsangarai. Now here is a man worthy of a peace prize. “Bloodied but unbowed”, he has chosen for the sake of his equally battered country, to refuse the call to arms, and instead serve as Prime Minister next to a monster who is intent on gobbling up Zimbabwe.

The Nobel committee was not looking for hope, because had it been, it would have found it in Tsangaria who with swollen lips from his hospital bed called on his supporters not to sink to the violent levels of their oppressor, Tsangarai who travelled far and wide seeking international intervention and financial aid for his country.

If that attitude of self-sacrifice, and love of country and the democratic ideal is not worthy of a Nobel acknowledgement then we might as well give up “hope”.

Let’s see — “NEDA” the Iranian girl who was a household word a few weeks ago gets killed for protesting what may have been “BOGUS” election results — OBAMA says “WE SHOULDN’T MEDDLE” and get a Nobel Peace Prize — Simply rearkable and “NUTZ”

Who really cares? I mean anyone with any sense knows this award is political at best, Obama hasn’t done anything to fix anything, and he isn’t going to fix anything because everyone looks at him as a weak leader who will give into whoever yells the loudest. We should be spending all of our time getting the economy moving north and for the unemployment rate to go south. The only person in my recent memory who actually did some very stuff was Mother Theresa, those are the types of people that we should proclaim as the real heros.

I find it very hard to understand how and why President Obama received this award. I always respected the individual who received it previously. As far as I can tell, President Obama has not done ANYTHING to qualify for this, heretofore, prestigious award. He is and has been “all talk and no action”. He has embarrased the American Citizens, he has projected an image that this Great Nation has been going down the wrong path, and has done so many things unhandedly and illegal. Mr Wilson in Congress told the truth when he said President Obama has lied. He has and continues to do so. It is very evident by the Tarp Bill that was unnecessarily and unethically pushed through Congress,as well as, the Health Care Bill that will most likely be done the same way. Something needs and must be done about this man - I respect the Office of the Presidency but not the man who was placed in that Office, most likely, illegally with voter fraud.
