This Just In.......Obama "Tops"! (from 2009)

I agree about Obama. It was a thank you, as well as a sign of hope for a new age. An age with less war. That hasn't worked out.

Still, at least Barack Obamas kept his promises to close Guantanamo and cease extraordinary rendition.

You have to admire the man's courage to do the right thing, on principle.

What a guy.

Kissinger was here last night, giving a lecture, and he was protested by activists. He needs to stand trial for his war crimes, IMO.

When Henry Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1973, the distinguished musical satirist Tom Lehrer decided that he could no longer perform. "It was at that moment that satire died," says Lehrer, "There was nothing more to say after that."

OK. You can grasp this. I'll take it slow.

You wrote, "To give the peace prize to someone for what they MIGHT do? That discredits the award by itself." to which I replied, "Going on that criteria Jesus wouldn't deserve the Peace Prize."

Jesus TALKED about peace. He didn't stop any wars.

Get it now or do you need further breakdown?

They your assertion is that the Nobel Peace Prize has only to do with stopping wars. :palm:

Your hatred and resentment for him has clouded your ability to reason and think. Seek help. Therapy is indicated. It's not your decision to make, obviously. A moot point, to a done deal. LOL

It is quite sad that you try and project onto me that which is not there. I neither hate nor resent Obama. Though I do resent some of the crap he has forced this country to accept.

I know you are beholden to him and worship the ground he walks upon..... but that doesn't change the FACT that he had done NOTHING when nominated to justify even being nominated let alone winning the award. Which is why you continue with nonsense like the above rather than pointing to what he did to earn the award. Bottom line is, you can't point to anything because it doesn't exist.

They gave him the award for 'being someone other than Bush'.

No, you are still rambling.... As I stated, Obama did nothing... NOTHING.... to earn the Peace Prize. Which is why you, like Poet, post nonsense rather than simply pointing to what it is you think Obama did to EARN it.

It was an example but, obviously, you were unable to understand that. So, let's try a different approach. Why don't you tell us why Jesus would deserve a peace prize?

All you would have to do is look at all the good that Jesus has been reported to have done.
Notice the word here is DONE and not what he MIGHT do.
Obama was GIVEN the Nobel Peace Prize, for one reason and one reason only.
It's because he's seen as being Black and to garner support for him.

Of course; maybe you could list all the reasons that they GAVE it to him and how they knew what he was GOING to do, before he did them.

Not true. I worship no man. And it doesn't bother me that he received the Nobel Peace Prize. The fact that they awarded it to him was as symbolic as it was profound.
You're letting your politics interfere with common sense. But it's not the first time. I recommend "going in". LOL. Meditate to relieve stress.

Yet you cling to the belief that he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize.... Why?

It was symbolic, I give you that.... symbolic of the joke that the Peace Prize has become.

It was in no way profound. It was a cosmic joke. Only his most blind followers would proclaim he had done anything to earn that award.
 
Stomping feet like a child he didn't deserve.
Of course he did stuff, middle east talks, hc reform, ws reform.
I don't think he deserved it for his plans, but it is entertaining to watch a child stomp his feet saying no no no.
