Obama the Warmonger

"The Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society (Svenska Freds) has classified as "shameful" the decision by the Nobel Committee in Oslo to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to Barack Obama.
"The choice of Barack Obama as the recipient of the world's foremost peace prize is shocking," said the group's chairwoman Anna Ek in a statement.

Ek conceded that the US president had sent "positive signals" with regard to his future commitment to global peace.

"But at the same time Obama is the president of the biggest military power in the world and is waging two wars in the world. That should certainly disqualify him from a peace prize," said Ek.

The leader of the Swedish opposition, Social Democrat Mona Sahlin, said the prize award would serve to increase expectations that Obama can deliver concrete results.

"It's a pleasing political turnaround from the years with George W Bush, who disregarded the UN's rules and regulations," she said in a statement.

Moderate Party parliamentary group leader Lars Lindblad said that, though he was glad Obama had been elected president of the United States, awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize was a "historic mistake".

"In my view the Peace Prize should go to somebody who has achieved something," he told Dagens Nyheter. "  The Local Sweden

Really?!! Maybe he should thank GW for this...since everything else during his tenure has been attributed to him!

I can't see an acting award, but to be honest a nomination for acting as president would have made more sense than a nomination for the NPP.

Obama has a statement coming up shortly on the topic of his prize. Can't wait to hear this.

Something along the lines of, "Thanks, but I can't accept it and don't deserve it?"

Or will TOTUS tell him to say, "Me", "I", etc, at least 142 times in 10 minutes?

When did the nominations for the prize BEGIN?  Could it be that it was to be a consulation prize if he lost the Presidential race...ooops I said race.

Well, he's pretty much lived on AF1 since he ascended to the throne, so the pattern hasn't changed. Tax dollars? Since when does Lord Zero give a shit about how much his jetting around costs us?

The people I work with don't watch (or listen to) the news.  :banghead:

Today, I am happy they don't.  It is a struggle, everyone in my department voted for Obama, or didn't vote and wanted to vote for Obama.  Aside from my coworker from Taiwan, who told me the US was stupid for voting for someone young and not experienced, as that happened in her country and they went to crap.   :evillaugh:
