Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

[tizzo]

You guys are all venting on the wrong topic. Left, right, or middle, it makes no difference. He didn't ASK for it, I will assume he didn't nominate himself, and yeah, it's obvious to everybody that there was a political agenda behind it.
IMO, all this does, is discredit those that nominate and those that give out this award, not to mention the award itself.
He didn't do anything to deserve it, and I don't mean that as mean, I mean that as simply a fact. Even HE said he didn't feel he deserved it.
You can't blame the guy for waking up and getting slapped with a NPP.
Would he have been better off if he had declined it?? Because if the discussion is to be about obama, then lets narrow it down to the only things he had in his control. Accepting it...or not... and honestly, I don't see a winning situation for either...

I am a fairly right wing guy. But I don't get all the hate thrown Obama's way. He hasn't been a flaming lefty. Yeah he's had a liberal agenda-he's a liberal. I think all of these lefty organizations have embarrassed him and he's shown himself to be a classy guy. So I disagree with him on Gitmo and reaching out to some bad folks to make peace. Let's disagree and talk about issues.
1/10th the hate thrown at Bush.
Socializing (nationalizing) medicine, wealth redistribution (even more than now), Bank, auto and insurance takeovers, Pay, speech czars..... no that's not a flaming leftist agenda.
Reagan brought down the Berlin Wall and unified Germany, why did he not get the NPP for this. Talk about unifing people! Reagardless of your politics, this fact cannot be denied. Obama will have to work very hard to equal Reagan's feat. If he does, good for him, but until the world gives Reagan an "atta boy" for basically defeating communism they can keep their prize and money.
Get the UN out of the US! Get the US out of the UN
