I still can't understand the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for OBAMA...
 

Any decent explanation?

Why would they give a Nobel Peace Prize to someone who wants to invade another country?

Fuck, those Swedish people are very strange.

Yeah, you will tell me that they didn't know he was going to invade other countries to steal their natural resources? :Oh crap

It is because he is black! Those damn racists!

Bottom Line : The prize is awarded for "achievement" more than "peace making" and many
people on the prize selection committee thought it a major achievement that Obama could simply win an presidential election in America as a Black man.

Al Gore didn't exactly cause "world peace" when he got the prize for his action on global warming.

:1orglaugh

Well then, what was his achievement?

So far his administration has been bland and "not accomplished". The economy is moving, slowly, but that's about it.

Look directly above your last post and read the following shit :

"... and many
people on the prize selection committee thought it a major achievement that Obama..."

:helpme

He got the nobel peace prize for being black? Lame.

2009? Come on man.

it was given in advance on promises made. obviously, we know now those promises were the same ole bullshit hustle we hear from all politicians,

but the swedes, like many of us, including me, fell for the dude's change we can believe in mantra.

I am not black and I don't have one so it must be true.

When he was campaigning and then right after taking office he promised to get us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, close Guantanamo Bay and usher in a new era where we played diplomat not world police. He then went on a tour where he gave some great speeches in Europe and Egypt bout US relations with Muslim countries. It gave the appearance that he was going to be something different. A breath of fresh air. They gave him the prize based on what he said he was going to do not what he had actually done.

Of course, here we are five years later and we are still in Afghanistan and Gitmo is working just fine and now we find out the NSA is basically spying on everyone. It didn't quite turn out as planned.

aren't there like 30-40 categories now? nobel prize for chemistry, literary, etc. ?

but pretty sure obama's was the top one of them all, the actual *peace* guy.

It was all the people on free Obama phones calling in their votes.

they gave him the nobel for peace in an attempt to encourage him to become a pro-peace president - it was a proactive move...didn't work

So far the theories are:
because he was black
because there was hope that he would be great
as a bribe to be pro-peace

There you have it. Nobody has a fucking clue.

clue us in! what's your guess? tbh, i remember they had some sort of reasoning, yada yada, here we are.

Like I said, nobody has a fucking clue!

Anybody guess who TumblrPRO is yet?

maybe his achievement is keeping the peace between black neighbourhood people and whites or white police in the same neighbourhood while visiting a clearly pro-black racist pastor for twenty years. twenty years then the man who is otherwise called barry publicly denounced him on the 2008 campaign trail and didn't want anything to do with him anymore.

that's why we're here right? none of us has a clue. not about zimmerman, tayvon, wars ships, russia, nobel peace crap.

we shoot from the hip and say some shit. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

It was just wishful thinking

It's tempting to let the swedes take the heat from this but it was actually Norway that gave it to him. I think they just wanted an american president to come to our country :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

well, he's ordered drone strikes in only 26 countries ... it could have easily been 126

Kane nailed it. He was given the award because at the time, through his campaign and up to and immediately after he was elected, he was running around saying all the right things BEFORE he actually started dealing with them. As I think anyone can see, the world is quite a bit more complicated than he understood it to be when it was just "talk".

6 or 1/2 dozen.

AND Obama has possibly started WIII.. fucking brilliant, hopefully we will elect the next prez off Facebook as well ..

he hasn't possibly started ww3. come on.

It's a subjective award handed out by a private group.

Yeah, before Obama, all other politicians understood everything exactly and delivered on all promises. Especially "no new taxes".
