Obama gets peace prize for not being Bush!

So, I’m curious, Brian, what say you about the Leftists groaning about this award?

There are “Kansans” on the liberal side as there are on the conservative side (but I think much fewer on the liberal side).

In order to understand the significance of the Nobel Peace Prize, you have to look at the international angle.

Under Obama, western liberal democratic ideals (yes that’s what they are called) have been revived and taken new significance. Our ideals are important weapons in defeating totalitarianism.

How the world sees America greatly affect how we achieve our goals.

We should all be honored by the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama.

That’s what I mean by the cynics and the war-mongers. As long as house prices go up and we have OUR oil, that’s all we care about.

BTW, I’m a cynic myself… but only when it comes to the wherewithal of those holding peak-price housing. 😉

[quote=urbanrealtor]Come on Allan.

I know we are just one argument away from you saying we won Vietnam.

Come on.

I need to win this drinking game.

Please.[/quote]

Uh, Dan? You might want to check your Leftist buddy Brian’s posts. He’s the one going all John Wayne about “America’s leadership role in the world”.

Of course, I’d be curious to hear about America’s leadership role in the world that DIDN’T involve us sending troops or money or both. Huh, sounded a little like Warren Zevon there.

Boy, you know the times have changed when the Lefties start chest pounding about rock ribbed Americanism. Hoo-ah.

It will be interesting to see Brian explain how a President who is continuing a former President’s unpopular policies on detention (Gitmo), rendition, and intervention (Afghanistan), as well as expanding combat operations in Afghanistan (more troops) and Pakistan (dozens of new Reaper and Predator drones being deployed) is being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And with no sense of apparent irony.

Allan, why don’t you support Obama then? Didn’t you think that those policies were the right ones?

You cannot undo everything all at once. It’s like holding a peak-price house on a mortgage you have difficulty affording. You can’t get rid of it, especially if you have wife, kids and “face” to uphold with the relatives and your community of friends and colleagues. You have to slowly ease out of it. In the meantime, you still have to pay for your previous bad decisions.
