I can't believe what I am reading!!! This is absolutely shocking as I read!!

I honestly thought he was going to be amazing and bring change to America but the more I read about him and people's thoughts the more I feel betrayed by his actions.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," from BBC news.

How can someone who has lied about closing guantanamo camp, lied about withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq, lied about the health care system, tried to stop freedom of expression, be awarded with this prestigious accolade. Oh I forgot he was a lawyer right? Just like Tony Blair's professional background and both are politician's. And I have always never trusted either of these professions!

What is that joke from the amazing film Philadelphia?

What do you call 500 lawyers lying on the bottom of the ocean?
Answer: A good start...

I am not an American and feel pity for all those living in these times of change in the united states. Can I make a recommendation, change yourselves from United States to United People of America and stop being tricked, pushed aside by Corporate companies like the big Pharmaceutical, Oil&Gas, Utilities, Defense and Arms Corporations and easily paid off Senate and Congressmen (and Woman).

One person can change the world, make it be yourselves and not Obama or Blair or anyone else who value's power more than individual life!

If I was going to stand up to the powers that be, NWO or anyone else. I would invite as many people as possible to a peaceful demonstration somewhere away from big cities and towns. Tell them to bring their video camera's and 1 note of their currency and film everyone burning that currency on camera and mass upload everyone's recording on all the social networking sites around the world. Basically saying we don't need a monetary system anymore!

Just my aggravated thoughts!
Regards,
E.T

PS - Notice this is the Nobel PEACE prize! What PEACE has Obama achieved to one individual in the world apart from himself!!

BBC NEWS: Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve".

People need to do some reading about the Nobel Peace Prize if they find this news shocking.

en.wikipedia.org...

It is named after the father of dynamite, Alfred Nobel. Dynamite was supposedly created to end wars for crying out loud!

The irony that is the Nobel Peace Prize.

Heres a list of winners since 1980 as well...

www.google.com...

I mean, cmon, ADOLF HITLER was recommended people.

Nominations from 1901 to 1955, however, have been released in a database.[6] When the past nominations were released it was discovered that Adolf Hitler was nominated in 1939 by Erik Brandt,

This is a pretty peculiar thing to have occur. Yes, I understand that Obama has inspired the world as well as done alot (or a little depending on who you ask) to help our economy, but can someone who simply inspires "hope" be given such a high standard? People of great minds work their whole lives to try and achieve this and some still do not.

I think this is a total rip off. I inspire hope for the future generations by teaching my kids right and instilling into them the things that will help them be successful and good people. Do I qualify for a Peace Prize?

You would deserve an award for being a good parent.

I think that it's odd that Obama would be awarded the Nobel peace prize for things they hope he will do.

Ah the power of hope eh?

(is that Obama bashing enough?)
