WORD!!! I agree with this all the way,Obama obviously has been making steps towards peace brokering in lotsa areas,and while it's a work in progress,it's definitel good work. Everyone was surprised when they heard the news of course,the question that reflexively comes 2 mind is,'What has he done?',but the question we should ask is,'If not him then who?'

Rosabelle:

Well Mr-Im-uninformed (no pun intended) read the papers and come back. Then you'l be ready to talk with my kind ok?
Ive said all I have to say and jumping into a conversation with an uninformed character isnt worth it. Sorry.

Rosabelle:

I dont refute these things. Im just scared the world is looking for a kind of Messiah in that guy and he's just 1 man who can only achieve so much.
Obama is a wonderful character and has dreams and nobel visions the world hasnt heard a leader speak of in a while, and so there is this "bug" that bites everyone who looks at him or hears him speak.
But he hasnt "performed" yet. He's a wonderful talker and I think and believe he will achive a lot, but he hasnt "performed" yet. The world should allow the man breath. Give him space to work and stop heaping prizes on him he hasnt deserved.

There are many human-rights activists all over the world. There are people performing unbelieveable feats out there. Everyone wants to clap for Obama because he is the first black president.  Wanderful for him, but SO WHAT. After that, SO WHAT.
Theres much more to being a winner of this Peace Prize than being a half-cast who's father wasnt there when he was growing up. I have half-casts friends who had abscentee fathers too.
I like him as a person, but as a politician he is yet to achieve anything. Chicago is just another State in the US so I really cant be bothered about his achievements there.

The world should slow down on the guy. And thats why I said it seems the "Obama-bug" has gotten to Norway too.
I used to have a lot of respect for this Prize and the committee that does the selections, but I see right now any celebrity can win it.
I'd better go lobby!

MUZBO:

1st your pun sucks because I never said you're uninformed. Then I've been reading the papers for your sake and a quote I came across said self-projecting smart people like you often outsmart themselves.
Why can't you tell me why your domestic peace-brokering loosers are not in contention for the prize? You just want to runaway from the sucker punch while sending me to read THE PUNCH eh Miss informed!

fishaboi:

@Mzumbo: going by your illogic, contributing to peace in a part of the world (i.e within a country) is not the same as contributing to world peace abi?

Gifo:

The Nobel Peace price is not just awarded for measurable achievements alone, but for a whole load of things. Like what one has started and changed, steering the world to a path of peace is a load of achievement. Also award can be given to invigorate a path that the peace loving people of the world wants to see. And any person who is a champion of such path merits a recognition.

Anyway, the members of the Nobel Peace have spoken.

TEE ZERO:

This going to pile on this young man more pressure.
It is enormous.
There are wars everywhere; even domestic wars that Obama has to fight.
We should just keep wishing him well.
It is enormous pressure.

MUZBO:

Hope you can hear yourself! How can you contribute only locally and expect an international award like nobel? Now lemme ask you- did the earthquake in Indonesia shake the foundations of your home?
Is the power outage you are currently experiencing in your house affecting Robert Mugabe? All these are domestic issues which if they don't touch you then you won't care!
You have to be world wide to be seen by a non domesticated Nobel committee.
If you like carry all your rice and feed the homeless in your backyard then sit back and wait for a nobel- you'll wait till kingdom come.
You'll tell me whether Princess Di got international recognition from sitting in the UK and preaching against anti-personnel mines while watching Man U play!

stiyke:

What has obama done u may ask to deserve this??

He extended a hand of friendship and kept silent as the represive iranian regime harshly dealt with protesters.

Rosabelle:

Well actually by "Mr-Im-Uninformed", I was refering to YOU  . Im sorry you didnt get that.
And Im not running from anything. I just find when youve made your point youve made it and shouldnt go defending it or forcing others to take it.

macfarland:

The award is certainly unexpected and might be regarded as more of an encouragement for intentions than a reward for achievements. After all, the president has been in office for a little over eight months and he might hope to serve eight years. His ambition for a world free of nuclear weapons is one that is easier to declare than to achieve and a climate control agreement has yet to be reached. Indeed, the citation indicates that it is President Obama's world view that attracted the Nobel committee - that diplomacy should be founded "on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population".

[size=16pt]Once again, EUROPEANS cringe under America's hegemony!

Such a shameful decision.[/size]
[size=14pt]
What Has he done? Iraq, North Korea, Afghanistan (40,000 troops pending), Iran, Myanmar, Sudan, Mexico Drug cartel, India-Pakistan tensions, etc are all

HANGING IN THE BALANCE!

The USA still has arsenal of nuclear weapons - they won't be throwing away. And ISRAEL? Still the obstinate, opinionated Nation they were in the Bush Era.[/size]
This guy is so much talk and flamboyance.

Somebody tell me the Swedes are not that stupid like Sarkozy!

Such a rash move![/size]
