“I receive this honor with deep gratitude and great humility,” he said in his formal address. “It is an award that speaks to our highest aspirations – that for all the cruelty and hardship of our world, we are not mere prisoners of fate. Our actions matter, and can bend history in the direction of justice.”
Earlier, after meeting with Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, he noted that winning the prize “was a great surprise” to him. V”I have no doubt that there are others who may be more deserving,” he said.

prez bush waited about 30 months between 9/11 and the invasion of iraq…
this guy had to set the record for fastest deployment of troops after (being elected) and winning the peace prize.
pretty good for an arab.
Embarrassing.
Never thought I would say this, but I miss George Bush.
Lowest approval ratings in history.
Most inexperienced and radical person ever to hold office.
But we all got swept up by the media hype and paying dearly for it.
yeah! this nobel peace price should had been given to Rumsfeld and Cheney!
Well Deserved, the president that most americans that are aware of international affairs elected as a leader!
Republicans can have their pile of shit and call it a president!
he talked about a ‘just war’ during his speech for the nobel peace prize.
he went from neo-com to neo-con in 4.3 seconds.
we’re all neocons now bitches.
In other political news, sarah palin received a Lifetime Achievement Award today from LensCrafters.
Funny thing is Bush closes the gap.
Perhaps the greatest measure of Obama’s declining support is that just 45% of voters now say they prefer having him as President to George W. Bush, with 54% saying they’d rather have his predecessor. Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that’s somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country’s difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited. The closeness in the Obama/Bush numbers also has implications for the 2010 elections. Using the Bush card may not be particularly effective for Democrats anymore, which is good news generally for Republicans and especially ones like Rob Portman who are running for office and have close ties to the former President.
The reality is that under President Bush the umemployment rate never exceeded 6.3% until the very last month of his presidency. The Obama deficits are much higher than the Bush deficits. People think Obama is better simply because he’s a better public speaker.
Obama’s biggest problem is that he’s a WHINER, pure and simple - always blaming someone else for any and all troubles. The American people don’t like whiners - never have and never will. They want a leader with an always optimistic attitude, even in the worst of times. Remember how Reagan was always described as possessing “a sunny dispostion.” All Obama projects is doom and gloom. The more Obama whines - and it’s not a trait he will ever change, the man is a serial whiner - the less presidential he appears. The more he whines, the more the American people will continue to tune him out.
why did obama abandon freedom in iran and honduras?
He had to be talked into having the traditional nativity scene displayed.
He is raising the ceiling debt on us another two trillion dollars.
Obamacare will cost nearly two trillion.
Out of control big spender with our tax dollars.
Future generations will be enslaved by debt and taxes.
Even polls are showing that they would prefer george bush back in office.
THE FIRST AND MOST ANTI AMERICAN PREZ EVER.
I Called this during the elections!

One lunatic posing as many…repeating the same amount of mental diarrhea!

Arasto, this is SHIT!
