Do you think that Obama should have gotten the Nobel prize?  email this discussion to a friend?

Hi Folks.
Several days ago Obama received the Nobel peace prize consisting of a beautiful gold medallion and over a million Euros. Do you think that Obama deserved to get the Nobel peace prize? What did Obama ever do to get it? At least when my cousin Teddy Roosevelt got the Nobel peace prize it was for helping to stop the Russian Japanese war.

In all honesty no I don't think he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. In his 1st year of Presidency what has he really lived up to? Gays still aren't allowed in the military, he's sending more troops over, the economic recession isn't getting any better, and we're going more and more in debt. I think if they really wanted to give it to him they should of given him a few years in office and had those years really mean something instead of making this country worse off.


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I really do agree with you about Obama. Our country is more in debt and have a lot less jobs since Obama got into office. All Obama has really done is support late term abortion, where babies are torn apart and killed. These are not things that Obama should be honored for doing.

Who said that gays are not allowed in the military? I know that gays aren't necessarily treated the best, but there is no law or rule that says that gays can't be in the military. Obama is sending more troops to Afghanistan to get the job done once and for all which is what is needed. If he doesn't do it now, we'll just end up back over there in a few years. I will agree with you on the problem of the debt. Obama's spending is out of control and he just doesn't seem to understand that throwing money at the problem doesn't fix a problem. But, I must say that Congress is responsible for this as well because they are approving anything Obama wants.

Lol, first time in history the peace prize was given in anticipation of something they hoped he would acomplish. Just change the name of the award now to the "Nobel Peace Incentive"
I find it ineresting that in the acceptence speech in Oslo, he used the word "war" 44 times. Not that i disagree with his speech, I think it's the most balls he has shown since he was elected and one of the rare times I was in agreement with him. It was just an odd contradiction.


myLot reputation of 92/100. anotherxidentity (1054)   ranked 2,337 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I actually didn't listen/read the speech but its interesting that you say that considering its been noted he doesn't like using the word war and hates to say we are dealing with a war on terrorism. Complete opposite from Bush but I wonder if he's doing it now because he's sending troops over and not getting them out.


myLot reputation of 83/100. xfahctor (7620)   ranked 943 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

The speech sounded very much like something Bush would have given. He even alluded to bush doctrine of premptive defense.


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I can not think of anything that Obama has done to help humanity. I would have given the Nonel Peace Prize to anyone who gave money to charity instead of Obama.

Not a chance!!!I think the only people that know why Obama got this award are the people that give it out.Everyone that has ever received this award should be appalled.Obama wasn't even in office when the award was voted on.


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I have never received this award but I also am appalled that Obama got the award. I do not feel that obama deserves to be on the same list of Nobel Peace recepients as Mother Teresa.

Not at all. I think it is way too early in his political career to determined whether or not he deserves a nobel prize. I think that one should have to earn it before they receive it, not receive it, and then earn it. I also think that less politicians should get it, since so many have gotten it already. It's starting to look rather one-sided.


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I really do agree with you. Let us give the Nobel prize to people who have really already earned it by helping people.

Nope dont think he should have got it and isnt this the 2nd one since he has been in office first one was before he ever got sworn in.
DO you think he is buying it. Sounds like it to me grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I agree with you that Obama not have gotten the Nobel prize. What do you think Obama will do with the big check for getting the Nobel prize?


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lakota12 (23197)   ranked 181 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

well he doesnt need it and I just know he will not Shre it with the American people or put jobs out tehre for us!


myLot reputation of 90/100. scottcoleson (323)   ranked 16,015 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

Winning the Nobel Prize did come with quite an impressive monetary benefit of well over one million dollars, I believe. I believe that I heard he is going to give the money he won to charity. If that is the case, it will be interesting to see which charity (or charities) he gives it to. I honestly do not see how he has earned the Nobel Prize. When has a person ever won this prize for things that they were anticipated to do? It just sounds ridiculous!


myLot reputation of 96/100. Lakota12 (23197)   ranked 181 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

I think he paid for it

I have a doubt to it. I don't think Obama has some methods to cease the war. I know he is still sending out armies.

I do not know how the war will end. To end the war we need to change the views of the people over there.

It's a total puzzle to me as to what Obama got the Nobel peace prize for doing. He hasn't been president long enough to have accomplished anything, and he's the head of a country that's involved in two wars, one of which is escalating. I think that by deciding to give him the prize the committee made a mockery of what was once a prestigious award.


myLot reputation of 83/100. albert2412 (1499)   ranked 2,186 out of 26,920 in people  3 years ago

Yes I wish that they had not given Obama the award. I admit that I do not like Obama, but I do not see anything that Obama has done to deserve getting the award.

No wayyy! i hate this racial crap as well. Majority of the people have only voted for him because he is half( i repeat HALF ) black. Isn't his Daddy white? He is overrated because of his race. That's unfair Anywho.. I got my medicaid card in the mail the other day, along with all the cuts from medical funding. Thank God I am bleesed with a good smile because if I wasnt, I would have had to pay to see the dentis. Yeah, they don't pull teeth anymore on insurance. And uh, you cant get cough syrup either. SO when my daughter gets sick, there's no point in taking her to the doctor because he's gonna send me to Wally-World to get some Triaminic. I mean seriously. He's over rated and he hasn't done ANYTHING for our country. I live in NC. 5000 soliders just left for Iraq. The week BEFORE Christmas. Didn't he say he was going to bring them all back? 8000 soliders are supposedly supposed to be leaving as well in a couple of months. Wow, that really sounds like we're bringing the boys back home. He;s just lucky I was 17 when the election came around, Cos McCain woulda had one more vote.
