they said on the TV that he didn't even know he was nominated. Hell, he don't even know he won :rofl: Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: cotis on October 09, 2009, 11:22:57 AM They better, they freaking better show Price is Right after this. I will be so pissed and have an e-mail prepared to send off to CBS if they cut out the Price is Right completely.

Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Genesis on October 09, 2009, 11:27:03 AM Well, if they can give that twat Al Gore one, I suppose they could give Obama one as well.
Was very surprising though, considering he's been in office only eight months. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: cotis on October 09, 2009, 11:29:06 AM Oh trust me my man.... You will never get that price is right time back... You can only hope they end before the showcase, if not say good bye until Monday It is the fucking highlight of my day to see Drew Carey back on TV and they rip if from my grasp today. Hell will be raised, CBS -- here I come. Did you guys know Letterman tried having relations with me too? I smell another lawsuit!! Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize?

Yasser Arafat got one too, also Charles Dawes who came up with the War Reparations plan that crippled Germany and essentially precipitated WWII. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: D on October 09, 2009, 07:32:47 PM Ive never seen a guy rewarded just because he isn't someone else more than Obama.
Poor Bush, if that doesn't spell worst President ever, I don't know what does. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Jim on October 10, 2009, 06:32:19 AM Was he awarded it down at the bottom of the garden?

His Prague speech moved the world. Americans are envied for having such a ballsy leader. and Guns N Roses of course. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize?

Where the fuck did that come from! I'd have thought that you were above that kind of shite. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: GNRreunioneventually on October 10, 2009, 11:48:27 PM now now guys calm down, the important thing is that Price is Right was returned back to the air before it was over.
and the worst president ever was Kenedy, because he made the presidential fitness test. The bastard made me do push ups and i didn't like doing things when i was in school. Why do you think Oswald shot him? he was a skinny little fuck that didn't fit in because he had no mussle tone and the other kids made fun of him and he was getting his revenge. Poor Bush, if that doesn't spell worst President ever, I don't know what does. This does.. Carter. I would say not, if only because Carter didn't wrongfully invade countries of dark skinned people, bomb them, torture them, and try to convert them all to christianity. acording to them we're all infadels *or however the fuck they spell it* so they wouldn't want to convert us as much as kill us all...... ....besides we needed the oil :P Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Genesis on October 11, 2009, 12:52:36 AM I think he would have become more popular if he had politely turned it down. That would have been something.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: AxlsMainMan on October 13, 2009, 11:23:47 AM Cool. Not too many other people have had a positive, calming effect on the world like Obama in these last few months.

I would say not, if only because Carter didn't wrongfully invade countries of dark skinned people, bomb them, torture them, and try to convert them all to christianity. Where the fuck did that come from! I'd have thought that you were above that kind of shite. A. because of his use of the term "dark skinned people" which was amusing, may aswell just state where they are from B. Because i hate people moaning saying the war is wrong. Yes, it is wrong but its no more wrong than when terrorist factions attack us and people seem to forget those parts. C. I felt he was using cliche;d anti war reasoning. So i replied with Cliched pro war drivel. But i can understand how my post didnt come across that way. Stupid post. My apologies. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Skeba on October 13, 2009, 12:46:05 PM I think he took it really well. The only way that could actually unless he would've wanted to look like a complete ass in front of the world. I think it's nice to see some outside support for him so that he knows he is doing a lot of things right although things such as the health care reform has been less of a success up to this point.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Drew on October 13, 2009, 05:20:06 PM The deadline for submitting for this years Nobel Peace Prize was January 31, 2009.
B.O. would have been in office for only 11 days!!!! Have a look at some people and a organization who were a lot more deserving of the award but were passed over anyways. What a disgrace! The award has really become a sham over the years instead of it going to the people and organizations who are very deserving of it instead. Sima Samar, women's rights activist in Afghanistan: "With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women's Affairs." Ingrid Betancourt: French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years. Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence." Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: "These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon." Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for 'inciting subversion of state power.'" Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."

Post by: jarmo on October 13, 2009, 06:02:58 PM I'm so shocked that you would object to their decision to give the Nobel Peace Price to your president...
:o /jarmo Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Drew on October 13, 2009, 06:28:25 PM And here I thought you'd be more shocked of the ones who didn't receive the award and who were much more deserving.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: jarmo on October 13, 2009, 06:40:39 PM That list isn't even correct... Where's Tsvangirai?
Obama might not have done something you notice straight away and can say "that's great!", but there's no doubt him being the president is a great thing. Maybe it's no big deal to you that countries outside your own now think of the USA in a more positive light. /jarmo Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: D on October 13, 2009, 06:53:04 PM How is Obama being the President a great thing if he never accomplishes or does anything?
The, "Well at least he isn't Bush" grace period is over. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: jarmo on October 13, 2009, 07:04:44 PM How is Obama being the President a great thing if he never accomplishes or does anything? Didn't you read what I said? His election alone accomplished a lot. /jarmo Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Drew on October 13, 2009, 07:10:41 PM That list isn't even correct... Where's Tsvangirai? I don't see "Tsvangirai" anywhere in the article. Obama might not have done something you notice straight away and can say "that's great!", but there's no doubt him being the president is a great thing. Him just being president doesn't equal to something being great. In my opinion, that idea falls in right along with who's 'most popular' in elementary school. Why not just give the award to the American people as a whole. They are the ones who put him in office. Wouldn't that be more qualified as "great?" Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: jarmo on October 13, 2009, 07:28:26 PM That list isn't even correct... Where's Tsvangirai? I don't see "Tsvangirai" anywhere in the article. Exactly my point. You post a link to an article that doesn't even include one of the favorites to win... So how much exactly do you care about who would've won if Obama hadn't? Him just being president doesn't equal to something being great. In my opinion, that idea falls in right along with who's 'most popular' in elementary school. Well if that popular kid was first elected in a democratic election and then said he/she would bring everybody in to work together on issues.... All this while kids in other school suddenly look at that school as a place of hope. Why not just give the award to the American people as a whole. They are the ones who put him in office. Wouldn't that be more qualified as "great?" You wouldn't be included... Nobel jury speaks out in defense of Obama prize (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5irLyPrFK_rtRwMOsfjRBFjGDVZCgD9BAFHMO0) /jarmo Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: sandman on October 13, 2009, 08:23:52 PM i love that Obama won. USA baby!!!
by the way, Obama is getting 10-1 odds on winning the heisman. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: D on October 13, 2009, 11:03:17 PM I think Obama beat out Beyonce for video of the year.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Drew on October 14, 2009, 06:39:14 AM Exactly my point. You post a link to an article that doesn't even include one of the favorites to win... So how much exactly do you care about who would've won if Obama hadn't? I care a lot that people who deserved the award a lot more than B.O. got shafted on a grand scale. Do you honestly think he deserved the award over any of the names that were listed in the article I provided? Just because a name wasn't included on the list, does not make it incorrect. See my original quote below: Have a look at some people and a organization who were a lot more deserving of the award but were passed over anyways. Did you not read Jarmo? I said have a look at some people and organizations that were left off. In your eyes, it obviously makes the article incorrect, but you are wrong. You wouldn't be included... Nor would I want to be. That's why I said America as a whole. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: jarmo on October 14, 2009, 08:02:16 AM I care a lot that people who deserved the award a lot more than B.O. got shafted on a grand scale. Do you honestly think he deserved the award over any of the names that were listed in the article I provided? A lot of people deserve attention for what they do and all the credit in the world. But everybody can't win! You could've picked another name out of the hat and then you could still say the same you're saying now... "What about these ones? They deserved it too!".... /jarmo Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Jim on October 14, 2009, 05:58:11 PM I think that Brendan Cooney put it best:
"Giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is like giving someone the literature prize because you hope he writes some good books." Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: CheapJon on October 14, 2009, 08:11:25 PM I think that Brendan Cooney put it best: i'm borrowing that quote and the names jarmo and drew mentioned to own a guy right now, thanks : ok:"Giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize is like giving someone the literature prize because you hope he writes some good books." Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Drew on October 14, 2009, 08:12:56 PM You could've picked another name out of the hat and then you could still say the same you're saying now... "What about these ones? They deserved it too!".... I will agree to your point, but will say that I believe the people that didn't win who are listed deserved the award a lot more. Their "credentials," if I may say, defined their deserving of the award much more. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Smoking Guns on October 14, 2009, 10:30:10 PM Yep, its all Political. Its a popularity contest.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel peace prize? Post by: Dr. Blutarsky on October 14, 2009, 11:52:52 PM Obama won the peace prize for inspiring words. Not actions.
In related news, LeBron James was today awarded next year's NBA Championship. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: D on October 15, 2009, 12:13:58 AM Obama is slowly becoming the biggest fraud of the 21st Century.
Just as Bush used fear to get his agenda across, Obama is using his great public speaking,Charisma and the fact he isn't George Bush to camouflage the reality that he has done nothing for peace, nothing for change and nothing for anybody unless u are a bank. I think Foreigners love Obama because they know with him in charge, we are less powerful and a lot weaker. Biggest smoke and Mirrors act I've ever witnessed. It is quite impressive actually how brainwashed people are. Guy is a dynamic speaker and oozes charisma... but he never did anything in the Senate, and I seriously doubt much of anything will happen soon. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Genesis on October 15, 2009, 12:16:35 AM In his defence, he has only been in office for less than a year. People should cut him some slack.
Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: Genesis on October 15, 2009, 02:50:37 AM In his defence, he has only been in office for less than a year. People should cut him some slack. Gen-dawg, I support him because he's my president. I voted Libertarian, but I want Hussein to succeed. But giving him the Nobel Peace Prize? That's not right. I was responding to the previous post. I agree that the Committee was wrong in giving him the prize. Like Jarmo, I think Tsvangirai should have got it. Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: GNRreunioneventually on October 18, 2009, 11:30:09 AM How is Obama being the President a great thing if he never accomplishes or does anything? . is no one going to say it?................... :-\ Yep, its all Political. Its a popularity contest. just like the Rock n Roll hall of fame is. stupid half ass bands that sold or have done 10x less then the bands that should actually have gotten in and been in for years. case and point KISS is just now being put on the bill by those scronums when no-named washed up old farts that no one remembers of even knows for fuck sake, get in. and another thing its called the Rock'n'Roll hall of fame, why the hell are rap and pop stars like madonna getting in? THATS NOT ROCK"N"ROLL :rant: Title: Re: Obama won the nobel pease prize? Post by: norway on October 27, 2009, 08:59:01 AM Thats just retarded.
This socialistic, resultless newbie in the bigger picture. Should be called the "noble" political price. ::) He didn't get it for his acheivements btw,- - but for his great promising speeches. ;) |
