I would be all for applauding him if he actually did a thing to create peace. I don't think going around bowing to Sheiks or hanging out with Hugo Chavez does much to support a better world, unless your idea of a better world is a world full of dictators and terrorists.

All I have seen Obama and his team do is to try to bankrupt our country, either intentionally or via extreme stupidity. To me it appears that they are striving to move us toward communism and total government control.

I would like to get the next prize for coming up with a valid reason why Obama should have one. It's been nine months of rampant governmental
stupidity and we're still seeing nothing. Somebody screwed up somewhere.

I doubt you would

I think you would applaud him busting a cap into a sheik and nuking Venezuela

Kissinger got the same prize and you could deep fry that buster with a lighter.

Ya, Obama sure sunk a smooth sailing ship

The inspiration of a people starts with a premise worthy of undertaking.
Bowing to sheiks was merely a formality and a courtesy. Jesus washed the feet of of his disciples.

When one gets hung up on ones own pride...what is it that they say?

" Pride comes before the fall.... "

The path of peace comes with those who actually take the steps. The removal of our forces from Iraq, and the re installation of justice in the land without torture. An accountability by a just administration, and a recalling of those practices unjust from days past.

A recognition and exercising of diplomacy and a thawing of relations that were becoming rigid. Wedges had been driven on many fronts by the Bush administration that have now been removed. The removal of the missile system that threatened the regeneration of a cold war between the United States and Russia. These are steps in the right direction.

I for one like the fact the President Obama does not rattle sabers. He does not loosely jump to conclusions and rush to battle. A method and a manner that more world leaders should adopt and a way that will, in the end, even not under his leadership, will result in lasting peace.

There are times when American ignorance and bigotry show itself in such a fashion that makes me wonder if peace is really desired at all.

What they did to the election in iran, shows that the nobel prize is already a fraud.

The prize has become a joke.
