Did Obama get the White house the same way he got the Nobel peace prize ?
As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name. We gave him the White House based on the same credentials.”
I see we still have people ( Liberals )hanging onto the Blame Bush for everything when Obama fails
Either way, you do the math. It's Obama's unemployment rate, Obama's dollar, Obama's debt.

I love this question, as you hit the nail with this one. Yes, yes, yes. Obama is the reigning Do Nothing president. While in the senate he voted present, making him the Do Nothing senator. They voted him the winner of the nobel peace prize two weeks after he took office, making him the Do Nothing winner of the peace prize. Now he jets off to Copenhagen when his job should have kept him in DC in office, making a decision on our troops in Afghanistan. I guess we know where his priorities lie, especially since where to have the olympics had nothing to do with his job description. Obama either can't or won't make decisions and a person who can only vote present should not have been elected our president. If we can only survive the next three years and then vote him out of office.

It sounds like a very true and fair statement to me. I feel that he was given the Nobel Peace Prize for moving into the white house because that is all besides signing some directives.

Other nit wits and frauds who have won the nobel peace prize in recent years., It has become an award for bashing Americans, advancing the cause of International socialism, destabilizing the west and generally making the world less safe!! By the standards of the Norwegian nobel committee O is fully deserving of this accolade, given the mentality of those who determine recipients. Its hard to imagine a more fitting honoree, except perhaps Neville Chamberlain, posthumously I believe our president and messiah in chief is fully deserving of this Major award!!

You really do not understand the concept of the Nobel Peace Prize. You might find the video below enlightening. The Nobel Peace Prize is for their efforts. Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize because of the Bush/Cheney administration and their extremist actions.
The world is a big sandbox and the world watched the Bush/Administration not play nice.
I would think any true American would be proud that Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize. And frankly if people cannot see the stark difference between this administration and the last and that this administration is stepping up to be the leader. Well that is truly sad. You lead by example.

He had to spend more laundered money and dirty connections during his campaign to get elected; the Nobel Prize was just his "icing on the cake."

Has accomplished anything wake up Obama accomplished the "Impossible dream".His campaign run will go down as one of the greatest in history.Haters can't see that however the world has and his reward from them was the Nobel peace prize.Gift from voters Presidency.Be honest who would have thought you definitely didn't. Obama was the best choice regardless of race (Bi-racial by the way).Ebony and Ivory like Micheal Jackson said with Paul McCarthy can go together in perfect harmony.Give peace a chance.Who says Bush can't be blamed anymore is in a "Fantasy world".Bush and Cheney really messed things up.Obama is the savior.

Will you still feel the same way when Obama fixes, unemployment, Correction on the debt. that is Bush's , but Obama will fix that too. He will serve another term, bet that just gets you all warm inside huh, yep the white house.

Yes.... he has given the American people HOPE. Just as he has given the world HOPE that we will be pursuing a different path then the one Bush had been going down.
Although, I really feel that he was given the Nobel for simply "not being Bush". but whatever.

Bush has an unjustified war, he accomplishes NOTHING in 8 years. The worst terrorist attack on America happened during his watch. They have a record deficit during Bush's years. http://www.eriposte.com/economy/indicators/bush_de... Look at the chart and see how effective Republicans are in the economy. Gas prices reached record highs during Bush's term.
America became the joke of the world. There are questions of ethic violations by Dick Cheney, haliburton and the Iraq contract. Waterboarding and torture. All the speeches where he just made himself look like a fool and to the world make America look foolish for voting him in.
The funniest was when he got that shoe thrown at him in the country he wanted to "liberate".
Obama in 8 months: stock market has gone up; economists say we are out of a recession, our President wins the Nobel Peace Prize, he'll get Universal Health Care, and this hasn't been a full year yet.
Yet Republicans are showing their true colors by complaining about this President. They have nothing to go on anymore and they are just talking to make noise at this point.
