Well Obama got the nobel peace prize.
-
Man fuck. Just knock that shit off. EVERY SINGLE fucking Obama thread I have to come back in clean it up.
From here on out, PERMA BAN to whoever the fuck calls for that shit. It doesn't cause a problem for you, it causes a problem for ME, and you can kiss the site goodbye if they feel like it.

I agree with your stand on this 100% Jim. I don't care if you hate Obama, don't be a fucking idiot and suggest that he be harmed/killed on a public forum. Doing that is stupid (and illegal as hell) for both the person doing it and the site operator (if he tolerates/allows it).
-
alright so why exactly did he get nominated? what exactly did he do? especially 2 weeks into his presidency. i just dont under stand why he got nominated and won.
-
Not entirely sure either. I think it was due to his vision/ideas of reducing conflict whenever possible.
-
yeah i think i read something about that. also another angle to look at is in order for him to carryout some of his "visions", and "plans", he needs to be re-elected in 2012, so maybe the obama administration was thinking that people will think "oh well he got the nobel peace prize, so he must of done something right, lets vote for him again". i mean lets face it, ALOT of people in the country i have no idea about politics and will beleive whatever you tell them. but i guess thats just my opinion, im sure someone else will shoot it down

Like I heard wherever it was...Can't wait to see Miss America/Miss Universe win it next year since they always promote world peace and nuclear disarmament.

this is pretty pathetic if you ask me. regardless of his position of power and potential ability to carry out said acts of peace. you can always give him the award then. but to do it based on whatever it is he says he "would like to do" is a stretch.

Even if it didn't make it safer or more peaceful, he WANTED to and THOUGHT it would, therefore, he should have won!

i dont think it is a secret that the rest of the world was not impressed with out previous president. unfortunately for him AMERICA doesnt decide who gets the prize.
hate obama or love obama you people should be impressed (or at least not outraged) that the rest of the world just recognized the united states as less of a pile of shit.

Hasn't Fox news taught you anything?

I do not recognize the right of the rest of the world to pass judgement on the United States; it's sanction is irrelevant.
Bush, for all his faults, to the extent he was able to wrap his head around the problem of 9/11, put America first, and anyone that thought his job was anything besides that doesn't understand Americans or America's unique role in world politics. The GWB whitehouse view might be thought of as "when Europe outsourced its securty needs to the US 60 years ago, it lost a lot of its management oversight in how the world gets run, and right now we have a mess to take care of. People that aren't interested in helping simply do not matter and will get fucking steamrolled if that's what it takes."
Stratfor has a pretty interesting analysis of the reactions of Europeans to American policy and presidents in the post WW2 timeframe.
The short version is: Western Europeans tend to like American presidents that don't rock the boat, and give Europe "veto power" over US foreign policy. The reason for this is that Europe stands to lose big in any blowback over US foreign policy disasters. Every cold-war scenario involved all of europe turning into a glass bowl, and Europe had no real say in the matter.
