#1 Un-frickin believable. I'm speechless.

#2 What it means is simple: the Nobel Committee wants to tie Bambi's hands. After all, a man who just won the peace prize can't launch drones against the Taliban. He can't put another 40K troops into Afghanistan. He can't keep troops in Iraq. It wouldn't be 'peaceful'.

This is a ploy by the elitists and internationalists to influence our foreign policy, and not in a good way.

#3 Tutu, the original 'Liberation Theologist.' He and Barry are two peas in one pod.

"Be nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.”

Bishop Desmond Tutu

#4 The precedent is Nelson Mandela, who was a convicted terrorist, guilty of participating in making and setting bombs that killed several people. Which incidentally he has never denied.

Its all part of the transnational Left's reality denial.

Obama = Nonentity, who has achieved nothing, except to buy political office with money from murky sources

becomes

Obama = the saviour of the world

#5 More evil than Nelson, his lovely wife Winnie. Something else in common with Barry I suppose eh?

#6 IMO, its good news. It won't make Obama adore himself anymore. And it won't make pro-Civilization forces (it's not just America's fight) oppose him any less.

#8 The only reason this has any impact is the latent europhilism that still nags America. Our forefathers either left or were thrown out of the place - for a reason. It is debased. It is a dead end. The number of graves of our great-grandfathers and grandfathers in Europe are monuments to the abject failure there. The problem we face is the worship by self appointed elite governing caste for it. It manifests itself in academia, the arts, and in the coastal metro areas. All of which are driving us into our own cul-de-sac of history.

#11 
This is all part of "Change" the President of the United States of America Barack Hussein Obama promised you during the election of 2008.

He has won the hearts and minds of the World.

Rejoice !

Barack Hussein Obama is now a Nobel Prize winning, President of the United States of America !

All Americans should be PROUD of HIM !

Please do not bare the President ill will in one of his greatest hours.

He has only been in office nine months, just think what he is capable of doing in the next 39 months !

You will all be amazed .... Rejoice !

#16 Nuke Oslo. Solve a lot of problems. Alert the king and his family first, though - they're not bad people.

#18 Congratulations to PRESIDENT OBAMA on his Nobel prize. The rest of the world world is realizing the enormous change possible now that the previous regime has been repudiated. This award is a vote of confidence and support for his efforts.

So true, play4keeps. We in America have become increasingly aware of exactly what half of us voted into office. And not we alone; President Sarkozy of France has developed his own opinion, as have Prime Ministers Brown, Putin (or is he President these days? He keeps switching, and I just can't keep up), Merkel, Klaus, Netanyahu, Presidents Abbas, Karzai and Ahmadinejad, King Abdullah etc ibn Saud... of course our young president has been highly praised by Castro, Chavez, and Moammar Qadaffy called him "my son" while speaking at the UN... And so we can judge the worth of those who praise our awarded president, Obama.

Lionel Graviger9655 dear, it is so kind of you to check in from Prince William County, VA, that haven of the great and the good, to share with us your innermost thoughts. Your job is not politically connected, I do most fervently hope.

#20 Today's educational tidbit: the word for a group of cats is "clowder", as in "a clowder of cats".

#21 I'm fond of 'pride' myself. As in 'a pride of Americans' or 'a pride of lions who roar'.

#24 Hard to tell if our visitor is a cheerleader, a troll, or attempting in a tonedeaf way to be ironic.

In any case, s/he certainly is repetitive.
