Ummmm... w t f?
OSLO (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for giving the world "hope for a better future" and striving for nuclear disarmament, in a surprise award that drew criticism as well as praise.
While the decision won praise from statesmen like Nelson Mandela and Mikhail Gorbachev, both former Nobel laureates, it was also attacked, especially in parts of the Arab and Muslim world, as hasty and undeserved.
The committee said it attached "special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons," saying he had "created a new climate in international politics."
Updates from panty twisters:
Even CNN and Time are skeptical:
Time: Winning hurts | Last thing he needs
iReport.com: Does Obama deserve it?
Apparently Lech has his panties all twisted too.
Yeah I know its Fox, but this is a great headline:
I wondered how long it would for your panties to get in a twist over this.
ReplyDeleteJimmy, honestly, have you lost the ability to think critically?
ReplyDeleteAsk yourself if Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize makes any sense.
Its been nine months, honestly? You think my panties are twisted? Its the front cover every major news outlet.
One of these things is not like the other:
Teddy Roosevelt
Jane Addams
Martin Luther King
Henry Kissinger
Amnesty International
Mother Teresa
Lech Walesa
UN Peace-keeping forces
The Dalai Lama
Desmond Tutu
Nelson Mandela
Al Gore
Jimmy Cater
Barack Obama
... hmmm some people HAVE ACTUALLY DONE SOMETHING THAT TOOK LONGER THAN 9 MONTHS TO 'ACCOMPLISH'
I'm just glad to see a conservative finally giving Carter and Gore some cred.
ReplyDeleteAt least Al Gore actually made a movie and didn't just talk about movie-making.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, every librul reaction I'm reading to this is pretty much "WTF? He was nominated? Maybe he should decline it until he actually DOES something."
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised you guys aren't going more with the "Obama linked to terrorist Yassir Arafat" angle. I'm sure we'll hear it by the end of the day.
