This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling
news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I'd been awarded the Nobel
Peace Prize for 2009.
To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so
many of the transformative figures who've been honored by this
prize -- men and women who've inspired me and inspired the entire
world through their courageous pursuit of peace.
But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not
just been used to honor specific achievement; it's also been used as a
means to give momentum to a set of causes.
That is why I've said that I will accept this award as a call to
action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common
challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won't all be met
during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges
can be met so long as it's recognized that they will not be met by one
person or one nation alone.
This award -- and the call to action that comes with it -- does not
belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people
around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most
of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have
dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little
better.
So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we've begun
together. I'm grateful that you've stood with me thus far, and I'm
honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama |

I believe Obama paid for the prize. The prize cost at lease $1m.
So he can feel he accomplished something. To many. He's a disgrace.

Bingo. Even BO admits he doesn't deserve it.
Snicker.
In which case, he should NOT accept it.
They honored America for changing course from the belligerence and
arrogance of bush,jr/Cheney.
Obama's achievements in the future will more than earn the honor!
Well, I will have to join you in hoping that is true. All Americans

WHY???? Speak for yourself Bot. Would you be so PROUD if they'd given
the award to G.W Bush or Dick Cheney??
If they actually deserved it, yes. Why the fuck wouldn't 'we'
Just because you people think that constantly attacking the 'other
party' is a useful political strategy, you also seem to think we
should be that way, well we aren't.
We stand for something.
We have a far different view of what American politics are 'for' |

Keynesian economics rewards failure. It's filled with hope and promise but
in every case fails because the productive are punished with punitive taxes
that's redistributed to those who didn't earn it.
Obama and his Dim lead Congress steal through Progressive taxes taking what
they haven't earned too gib it to duh folk who be voting foe dim.
Keynesian economics rewards failure so what's the result so far?
America's economic failure. How better to bring us to our knees for the NWO
of world gubment? |
