Obama receives Nobel Peace Prize - Polidicks

GODDAMMIT FUCKSJKOJNFOKJNOLFWEFOL I misread that fuck [editline]11:31PM[/editline] fuck [editline]11:31PM[/editline] dammit thompson, why couldn't you have saved that quote for Reagan.

[QUOTE=Fippe;18835955] Where does the ramp of this start? 2001.[/QUOTE] No it started in 2000. Do you have eyes?

It wouldn't really even apply to Reagan because burning him would've been a waste of time, you'd still have to destroy his phylactery for him to be truly dead

Doesn't deserve it.

[QUOTE=The_Behemoth;18840848]Doesn't deserve it.[/QUOTE] Oh really? I think he deserves it for being the first African American president.

Since Obama came to power US troops in Afghanistan have doubled. Peace Prize? More like Popularity Prize.

Obama has the right intentions, he means to fix the fucked up nation that Bush created. Whether or not he deserved the peace prize, I don't really know. He could have rejected it, but he accepted it. But, improving the image of the U.S. in the world, I believe he certainly has. For one, he's our first African American president, although I don't know the opinions of the rest of the world, I felt this was a large step, just by being in office, of improving our image showing the rest of the world that we aren't just a bunch of prejudice white guys out for our own good.

A couple things: a. That graph does not portray what happened after 2008, as we don't know yet. therefore, no conclusions can be drawn. b. It's not that he's a democrat, black or anything. It just violates the sanctity of the award. He hasn't done shit yet. He's started to, but he hasn't done a lot. You claim he's cleaning up bush's mess. He hasn't done that. you don't give a nobel prize for starting to do things.

[QUOTE=FLoggin Moffins;18840878]Oh really? I think he deserves it for being the first African American president.[/QUOTE] I think he deserves it for easing tensions between Russia and America, not for being the first African American president. It shouldn't even be a big deal that he's the first African American president.

Obama's pretty much that last optimistic guy on a sinking ship yelling "Fuck, it's goin down anyway, let's party! :dance:" [editline]12:10AM[/editline] And he didn't deserve the prize

So....what great thing did he do that will benefit humanity for years to come? Give a good speech?

[QUOTE=Insulator;18843734]So....what great thing did he do that will benefit humanity for years to come? Give a good speech?[/QUOTE] Save a sinking ship that is beneficial to the worlds economy?

Sending 40000 troops to Iraq is real peaceful... :saddowns:

[QUOTE=nrgata;18844499]Sending 40000 troops to Iraq is real peaceful... :saddowns:[/QUOTE] Yes, because that's the only thing he's done. right?

[QUOTE=The_Behemoth;18840848]Doesn't deserve it.[/QUOTE] How about explain why, not just say "doesn't deserve it."

So..Nobel Peace prize is for people who do nothing and are stupid? Good. Maybe not I can get one.

[QUOTE=Kidd;18853211]So..Nobel Peace prize is for people who do nothing and are stupid? Good. Maybe not I can get one.[/QUOTE] The leader of the free world is stupid? Perhaps explain why before making yourself look that way for childish name calling.

[QUOTE=Kidd;18853211]So..Nobel Peace prize is for people who do nothing and are stupid? Good. Maybe not I can get one.[/QUOTE] Obama is stupid?

[QUOTE=Trotsky;18856019]Obama is stupid?[/QUOTE] No. He's actually very smart. Hence having graduated from Harvard Law School.

[QUOTE=Trotsky;18839927]Not really. We here in Europe like him.[/QUOTE] Speak for yourself. [editline]07:02PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Trotsky;18845404]Yes, because that's the only thing he's done. right?[/QUOTE] It does generally preclude any claims of being peaceful.

[QUOTE=lazyguy;18860823]Speak for yourself. [editline]07:02PM[/editline] It does generally preclude any claims of being peaceful.[/QUOTE] That's debatable.

[QUOTE=faze;18839553]It will take time to get out of the royal mess that Bush caused. If you're going to scrutinize the amount of time it's taking, then perhaps you should read a bit more on what Bush really did.[/QUOTE] Then why give him the price now? I'm aware of that it will take time, but atleast wait untill he has done what he says he will do.

AGAIN? Fuck!

So, he just sent 30,000 troops to a place he said he'd withdraw shortly from, and they're giving him a peace prize? 60% of American votes say he shouldn't have got it. In my opinion, I think the only reason they're giving the prize to him is because he's black.
