Obama gets peace prize for not being Bush!

[NotCranky]

I’ll be honest I don’t know what to think about this apparent encouragement to Obama to Be peaceful. I thought it was serious manipulation toward that goal yesterday. But than I think isn’t europes fate(energy) so inextricably tied to Western Hegemony in the middle east? Isn’t it also obvious that there is some potential interference(and lots more petroleum )in Iran ? Maybe it was a big political head fake… or an attempt at working a better deal on the spoils of future violence then they got with Bush. Probably?

Back to the original topic for a moment.

The Nobel Peace Prize Committee awarded the prize onto Obama, independent of his own doing.

Obama is not to blame here.

The fact remains that the Peace Prize is a big honor for our president and our country. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m proud when our citizens win Nobel prizes.

I think that the sore losers are just upset that so many laurels have been bestowed upon a relatively young Black person. Get over it.

Some people will get recognized more regardless of their accomplishments, in politics, the corporate world, the military, school, sports, or life in general. That’s just a fact of life.

Brian: When was Obama inaugurated? January 20th of this year, right?

Okay. When did the Nobel committee close voting for the candidates? February 1st of this year.

So, if my math is correct, President Obama had all of roughly 12 days in office between the inauguration and the Nobel committee close.

Looking at it that way, along with some other truly questionable Nobel awards, like Arafat or Carter, I’m sorry, but now you’re claiming that questioning this makes someone a racist?

Or, a “Kansan”, correct? You actually had the chutzpah to refer to Michael Tomasky of The Guardian as a Kansan! Wow. And Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post as well. Do you even know who those two writers are, or their political leanings? Rhetorical question because you clearly don’t.

No, Brian, that now shopworn racist meme doesn’t hold water. At all.

Anymore than legitimate criticism of Obama’s continuation of clearly questionable or actually illegal Bush-era policies is racism. It isn’t. It is dissent and criticism, which, we Americans were told during the Bush Administrations by Democrats, was the highest form of patriotism.

Now it isn’t, interestingly enough. Strange, huh? Or not. “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Same coin, different sides. Same old bullshit, though. Don’t ask questions, Brian, and be a “good German”. Better that way.

I have to say that I don’t see any drastic changes in policies. I don’t see the changes I can believe in. I’m still having a hard time getting over the bank bailouts and the appointment of Geithner to be happy about Obama. I voted for hope and I’m still hoping, but getting very disillusioned. I don’t know who else was nominated for the Prize. Maybe there wasn’t anyone more meritorious. Of course it is an honor when an American wins and a black President is quite honorable. I just wish there was something more that justified it, other than hope; an act you can point to that could cause people to say he was deserving of it.
