This is not going to go anywhere good. Refer to the above post for an example of why.

Oh gawd, I can hear a snowball getting bigger and bigger. EVACUATE
OT: This is the bit that bothers me:
"“He is awarded for what he is trying to do, and what he is doing,” answered the Nobel Committee facing the question that what Obama has done hasn’t resulted in any concrete achievements."
I think this guy will make a good President, but surely he should be given the Nobel Prize after he has accomplished what he is 'trying to do', or at least after an overview of his first term in office (when the next elections come about, basically).

...yeah.
Obama getting the nobel prize makes about as much sense as http://loscuatroojos.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/3d_optical_illusion_pronged_trident.jpg
Srsly though, wtf? Did he get it for given unchecked billions to Fannie Mae?
He gets it mainly because he tried to be a good president. He can't do everything he wants because of our checks and balances system, but hes doing good right now.

He should get it after he accomplishes something substantial. This is not how the Nobel system works!

People act as if he is a God. He isn't. He is a mortal, human person. Everything isn't going to fall into place at the snap of his fingers. People have to do things too! Still, better than the previous tenant...

This is a good thing. He won it for a promise, now he must uphold that promise since he won.

Politicians have lied more than the count of people that have died from car crashes...
Must've been a slow year.
Just speaks to the importance the world puts on the switch between Dubya's "We're gonna go in there an sort 'em out" and Obama's "Well let's try diplomacy first".
I don't think Obama deserved it - he said himnself he feels unworthy - but I do think that what change he has brought to America's foreign policy already is certainly worth recognition.

Keep in mind he's still new in office. I mean he has to go to every leader of every nation in the world and meet with them. Basically he needs to mop up Bush's mess and that will take some time. After he finishes sorting things out things will be put into motion. Give him a chance instead of saying every single person put into office sucks. He has 4 years at least remember.

He is going to make government bigger. That alone makes him a terrible, terrible politician.

Fox is garbage, it's a steady stream of kool aid for conservatives.
I'm a libertarian, and anyone with the capacity of thought should be fearful of the Obama administration.

I don't think he really had any competition.

Libertarianism is a utopian idea for the very fact that it ignores basic human nature.

Wrong. Libertarians come to conclusions based on what we know of human nature. A free market is only allowed to flourish with no regulation. Human nature drives the market and any outside interference within the market is a direct violation of at least one person's right to mind, body, or property.

Fox = Blah blah, 100% spin zone, blah blah dumb libtards etc etc
CNN/MSNBC = blah blah repubtard etc etc
They all fuse into koolaid for the 2 main parties to guzzle and push on the fight with each other (what i like to call the left/right paradigm)
But OT now
If having a beer with some African guy and a cop could get me an award, I'd have a whole showcase by now

You're ignoring the big problem - exploitation. If everyone owned everything than you'd get the super rich who would own far more than everyone else and be free to exploit it to their heart's content. Look at the Bolivian water crisis and see how great things are when a corporation can privitise a country's water supply.
People act as if he is a God. He isn't. He is a mortal, human person. Everything isn't going to fall into place at the snap of his fingers. People have to do things too! Still, better than the previous tenant...
So because he is better than GWB he gets a Nobel Peace Prize? Do you see why someone might be upset.
Prooves just how bad the rest of the world thought of Bush.
Why do I get the feeling that Obama responded to "Sir you've won the Nobel Peace Prize" with '"Really? Oh Hell..."
I mean the dude's got the hopes of the world on his shoulder and no-one's up for that.
Meanwhile the "Anti-Obama" brigade are rubbing their hands with glee.

Okay I'm just going to put this out there for anyone who doesn't like "big government" or government in general- I would like to see your reaction to the public roads, hospitols, fire stations, police departments, human services, military, medicare, etc., etc. being reclaimed from the horrible government that apparently does nothing right!
