Why did Obama win the Noble Peace Prize?

Racist America? Agreed. But not against Blacks. Against the lighter skin colors.

I played basketball my whole life. I got tons of black friends (yes folks black people play basketball). They definately face more racism than me. But they too agree that they have very little love for the white man in general.

I'm not gonna go as far to say I see a lot of racism against whites. But down here in San Diego...there are some communities that give no love to the gringo. If you don't "speaka spanish" you should just move on. You won't get anywhere in some places business wise if you are not mexican.

Where I live the Tan people face the racism.

The master with her captive dog slave calling the free dog a racist, that's government.

Obama, prince of peace? No wait, that was Jesus. I guess they gave it to him in hopes of what he may do, although, to me it looks like he is continuing the Bush war plans, and it's for damn sure they are not peace oriented.

This is why I think he got it also.

We got that. Thanks for the explanation.

You'd think it was obvious but not when stoned, just trust me.

This is RIU...not everyone around here is that smart.

Has anyone not seen the way some of the lack of grammar and puncuation??? I'm not perfect but at least I'm reasonable. Some of the kids are terrible. Run on sentances and text style typing. I sound old and I'm in my early 30's.

This is nothing new. Back in the late 60s and early 70s, I had to do the hiring for the company I was working for. I can't tell you how many job applications I looked at that were incomplete, illegible and just a mess.

Ah jes luv publik skools, doan't youse?

a few years ago i called a number out of the paper about a welding job. when i called he asked me a handful of questions. one was "i hear noise in the background, are you doing dishes?" then he also asked me a few simple math questions, "what is 3/8ths + 3/8ths?, what is half of 3/4's?" i answered them right. he told me i start at 7am.

talking to him later about it was pretty funny. he said i was one of a dozen or so people that he "interviewed". he said one guy was whispering to his girlfriend for the answers.

Haha! That's the most ingenious interview ever. Weeds out 79% of people!

Try on a ~40 year old irish looking readhead who thinks you asking her about IRQ conflicts is the same as questioning her about the IRA.

That just wasn't pleasant at all...

Nothing like dumb and angry.

I don't know why there is any surprise about this. The Nobel people have been bending over backwards for years trying to make statements that are hard left and designed to comment on and impact US politics. Look at the recent winners. When you get to that point in having a biased agenda, why constrain yourself just because this year's most attractive choice hasn't done anything?

When people like Kofi Annon (architect of the oil for food scandal), Al Gore (architect of climate change hoax) and Jimmy Carter (architect of free houses for poor people) win, why not Obama?

I love questions with the answers in them. "you take 3/8 and times it by two to get 3/4, then divide by two" What is the answer? Ask that to a few Spicoli's out there and you'll be shocked at the answer.

California's Real Estate Salespersons examine is super easy. I know supposedly smart people that failed 4x. And they are college grads. The Brokers exam I would definately call college level. Even there though some of the questions are basic stuff from 5th grade.

"What are not non property characteristics?" double negative...the question is actually"what are property characteristics." It's right in front of your face and we still miss it sometimes.

I struggle with finding the Peanut Butter when that jar in front of me clearly says Jif. Makes my wife nuts. Probably one of the reasons we are not doing so hot.

Well that and I date other chicks

HAHAHAHAHA!

IMO, Obama won the nobel peace price for not being Bush.
McCain would not have won it
and he would have done the same basic things Obama did.
But McCain is seen as another Bush.

I think the Nobel Peace prize committee knew Obama was being groomed to continue the war well before the 'election.' He talked about it in his campaign and they were trying to send a message that it doesn't have to be this way. That's really why he ducked out of the customary meetings with the Norwegian King, he didn't want to face the music. Now, War is Peace.
