This thread (original thread and post) is an (obvious) example of what is wrong with the world.

.... a lot of people who are never going to have the credentials, experience, education and training to run for high public office just being negative, ugly and disgraceful toward someone who does have the credentials, experience, education, background (and the votes!) to be elected leader of the world's largest economy.

This type of behavior is no different than a big, fat, guy with a big beer belly, sitting in front of his TV, with bags of used potato chips and empty beer cans on the floor, burping and screaming negative comments to a pro footballer footballer in fine shape, playing the game to the best of his ability.

Instead of hurling all the negative insults at someone with an obvious high(er) social and political status (and who was honored by the Nobel committee), go work on your forums and do something constructive..... :up:

Hate does nothing to improve the world.

He was nominated when he was president for 11 days and voted when he was president for 4 months.

Instead of replying without knowledge (and hurling negative comments at others), do your homework.......

Inside the Nobel decision

CNN's Jonathan Mann tells Michael Holmes how the Nobel Committee chooses each year's winner.

Because you obviously know everyone here well enough to evaluate if they are of higher social status than Obama.

Didn't argue this fact. However he didn't instigate any of these conflicts. There are also time when instability is so great that you actually need troops to restore order. Afghanistan has been botched so badly the last 8 years in order to focus on the unnecessary Iraqi conflict that to just leave would cause greater harm. That is on the previous president. When the Afghani government proves it is capable of ruling the country under its established laws and troops are not removed than you can complain. I know you'll bring up Iraq on troop withdrawal but guess what, it is already happening. Slowly but it is happening.

Frankly, I don't know if he deserved it or not. I don't know the true thinking behind the Nobel committee. I suspect we'll find out at the awards ceremony in December. However it is up to Obama to take the award and prove to people that he did deserve it. He has 3 years do so. In 2012, the American public will vote on whether or not he upheld the honor.

The crusades. Even religion does it so why act like its hypocrisy to get a peace prize while engaged in a war.

Nothing wrong with fighting for peace.
