What I want to know is ;what compelled Reuters to go to the Taliban for a comment ? One would suspect that they were trying to steer the discussion .

Nahhh not a reputable news organization!

I am having too much fun. There is this Tea Bag guy who stands out in front of the post office everyday near my work with an Obama sign with a Pinokio nose on him. I bet his head is ready to explode.

[spitvenom]

I hear he packs quite a punch

I like how LeBron's friend didn't call the cops but called ESPN about Edwards punching him in the face.

Turns out that we have more in common with Lech Walesa than the Taliban . The Taliban says he doesn't deserve it because he is waging war against them . I actually think that is an endorsement in favor of his consideration. But ,our argument is that he has done nothing to deserve it. That is a position that Lech Walesa took when asked.




Former Peace Prize winner puzzled by announcement

The former president, himself a Peace Prize winner in 1983, told the press in Warsaw "Who, Obama? So fast? Too fast - he hasn't had the time to do anything yet." This sentiment was reflected by current Prime Minister Donald Tusk: "Shock - absolutely. It's interesting, but shocking."

"Too Fast" for Obama Nobel, Says Wa??sa | Krakow Post

The Poles of course are good at recognizing appeasers masquerading as peace makers.

What nonsense, this is just political correctness and pandering to the extreme. If Obama were white, his candidacy for president would have been laughable much like senator Larry Pressler, who ran for president in 1980 after being senator for about 8 months.

Better go tell those crazy Norwegians that. They have the control, not any of us.

I volunteer .The Norwegians are crazy leftys. Obama's plans there are considered right wing

I love Newsweek's take, Obama Not First Surprising Nobel Peace Prize Winner: Seven Controversial Recipients

He's not the first shocker, just the latest "controversial recipient."

President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize today, only eight months into his term. It's a bold—and some might say strange—move to fête a president who's still in the beginning of his diplomatic career. After all, Arizona State didn't even think he was ready for an honorary degree. Who knows what else he has in store for the United States? One thing we do know: Obama is likely to order thousands more troops into a war zone within weeks.

So the U.S. president may seem like a surprising choice for the award. This is the Nobel Peace Prize we're talking about, an honor designed to seek out and reward those who's contribution to the cause of harmony and peace on the face of this earth is both outstanding and unquestionable.

Well, most of the time.

LOL! I can't wait for the spin to really accelerate.

And there you've almost got it. We're not criticizing Obama, we're criticizing the Nobel committee.

At work we had already decided that Obama should be in the running for Super Bowl MVP, the next American Idol, and since Tom DeLay dropped out... he should win the mirror ball on Dancing With The Stars. You can nominate him as a write-in candidate for the Heisman trophy here (h/t David Freddoso at the Washington Examiner).

Don't forget to tell your local Bishop to make sure his name is in for the next canonization ballot.

LOL, Pope John Paul II didn't manage a win, surely Obama can. :D

[twinkiedooter]

I truly don't think Alfred Nobel would approve of this choice but on second thought maybe he would considering Aflred Nobel made his money in weapons and expolsives. So possibly the Nobel nominating committee just wants to ensure that Obama is going to use plenty of Nobel's products in the near future in the world on the unsuspecting peoples in his new and bigger wars he has yet to concoct.

And yes, April Fools Day did come early this year.

What where they thinking? How to have this man more hated than he already is?

Flash - update. Time magazine is nominating Obama Man of the Year. For what? Who cares?

Flash - update. The Academy Awards will nominate him for his "truly stirring speeches given under duress" and he should be a shoe in for an Oscar with the award winning utterances of "Umma umma umma, anna, anna, anna."

Flash - update. Globe newsmagazine has uncovered just WHY he was nominated for the Nobel Prize. It was his wife's designer attire of the Bloody cammoflage outfit she wore at a funeral!

Update at 11 on your local channel 3 news.

I hear he's going to give the $1M of the prize money to charity. If he spent nearly $1M for a ride on AF 1 to get the Olympics in Chicago who's paying the bill? Are the taxpayers footing a $1M plane ride and then are the taxpayers then effectively donating $1M to charity?

Inquireing minds would like to know?

Yes Nobel invented dynamite ;but this award is right in line with his utopinan vision. His intent for the peace prize was to award the person who best moved towards world disarmament and the abolition of standing armies.

Found out the real reason why Obama won the prize...

He was the 10th caller.

Good as any, but surely it wasn't that easy. He must have known the name of the mystery song.

Now I'm getting it? LOL! Look at yours and tom posts, they all making fun of Obama not the Norwegians. Falls in line with the Republican "do as I say not as I do" credo.

Hello NK:

**greenie**

It IS true. Real words and what they mean don't much interest our loyal foes... They see words like "death panel", where there are none. They tell you they're not insulting Obama when their words say they are... It's getting harder and harder to have a REAL discussion with them when you can't trust that the words they write convey the thoughts they have.

Then the posts devolve into posts like this where all we talk about is words and what they mean, and who said them... Then they deny they said them, or they deny what they mean...

It's kind of silly - unless it's intentional. Like I said earlier, I think this is a real right wing strategy. Then they can get us talking about words instead of issues... I don't know if it works or not, but I'm catching on...

You guys expected us to have a sense of humor during the Bush years, were we supposed to lose it when Obama won? The material is too rich to pass up, and surely Obama - and YOU - aren't naïve enough to think that he wouldn't be the butt of many a joke for accepting the award. Regardless, the jokes illustrates the absurdity of giving such a prestigious award based on potential and not actual accomplishment and that reflcets on the Nobel committee.

"Extreme Makeover" the show - all those folks should have won the NPP - they do great work. :)

How about the folks over at Red Cross - they do great work to. I wonder what the POTUS is doing about Darfur?
