Meshugger Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Link. Seriously, what has he actually done to promote world peace? Seems more like a proactive award than anything.

Killian Kalthorne Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He made the world less piss off at the US. That has to count for something after the many Bush f***ups.

Guard Dog Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Unbelievable. How ironic is it that he wins this "award" (hard to call it that because he hasn't done a thing to promote peace anywhere) on the eve or ordering more troops to Afghanistan. Whatever credibility this "award" has is gone.

Rosbjerg Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah that seems a little too political.. Obama may deserve it at some point, but not yet.. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Its too soon, I think. We haven't actually, I think, had the opportunity to see what good (or ill) his ideas, presidency and legacy will be. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Yeah, I guess those peacekeepers dying in Darfur trying to prevent the exploitation of children as soldiers don't really deserve a medal like this. If I were Obama, I would refuse it. Fun fact: they feed child soldiers a mixture of cocaine and gunpowder to make them more aggressive and psychotic during battle, since the gunpowder irritates their stomachs and the cocaine's effects are obvious.

GreasyDogMeat Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's a reward for deciding not to give international bodies the finger, you know, like Bush. The Nobel Peace Prize should stand for something a little more... nobler. The prize has been a joke for a long time unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humodour Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's a reward for deciding not to give international bodies the finger, you know, like Bush. I get that. And it's also a big incentive for him to keep his foreign policy promises. But it has no place in a Nobel prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Maybe it is a joke, but the committee decided long ago that if giving a prize could help speed things along it was worth the risk. On the other hand they gave it to Rabin and Arafat, look how well that turned out. Edited October 9, 2009 by Gorgon Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.

Walsingham Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I actually saw a good comment on this on the BBC. The guy pointed out that like everyone else the President is on a receive now, pay later system. This is daft. You can't just make speeches about peace and get the prize. Actually, wait, **** it. *coughs* Gentlemen it is my believe that we as a people must get into space through the use of gravitational drives and I will not rest until that is done.

mkreku Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Important thing to keep in mind! This award is actually NOT a true Nobel prize*! It's being awarded by Norwegians for crying out loud! Sweden hereby strongly disassociates with this award. (*it is, but it was instated when Norway was still a Swedish slave colony) Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

mkreku Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Norway isn't part of the EU. They've tried using the award to "make friends" before and they'll try it again.

Thats true, not like this "award" has any credibility to begin with. Still, if he had even a shred of integrity he would decline it. But his rampant narcissisim will not allow him to do that.

Wrath of Dagon Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) What do you mean he's done nothing? He gave away missile defense and is about to surrender in Afghanistan. It's no wonder Europeans love him. But yeah, the Nobel peace prize has long ago become a joke, it's not like any more proof was needed.

SteveThaiBinh Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He really ought to decline it. I hope that one day he does something to deserve this prize, and am still reasonably optimistic that he might, but he certainly hasn't done so yet. It's rather embarassing actually - the prize only serves to highlight how little he's achieved compared with some of the other nominees and past recipients.
