Hey, atleast he actually said in his press conference that he didn't believe he was deserving. I mean...even he thinks its a load.

It's cool, I just don't want a repeat of the last time. As long as it doesn't happen again, there's no harm done.

And that goes for everyone.

*XERO* · 10-09-2009, 10:40 PM

Whoa, that's crazy. I didn't even know he was nominated.

Note that, aside from a fancy medal and additional paragraph in his Wikipedia article, the laureate receives US$1.4 million. Now I guess there is a bunch of peace activists worldwide who struggle for cash much harder than President Obama.

Unless they decided to fund his healthcare reform with that money.

You have an unhealthy obsession with that Boris Yeltsin of yours.

He already said he's giving the money to charity

Yes, I got the idea. BTW, Canadian Turtle and other people might want to make a note of this:

That's right, there was an African-American US Senator in 1870, scant years after the end of slavery. And that's why we find the hype over Obama so ridiculous.

Yeah, I know

Though the Danish are no.1, no one can top their accent.

Damn, Jim Henson should have made his Swedish Chef into a Dane instead. He could have gotten more laughs from "The Muppet Show"!

Pay no mind, we've all determined it is worth less than a Cub Scout merit badge.

Obama should still have known better than to accept it though.

**GK Punk** · 10-10-2009, 06:33 PM

I gave him credit back when I heard him say he doesn't deserve it, and that he's at least giving the money to charity. I'm not sure if it would have been a slap in the face to just out right no accept it or not though. Not sure what the ettiquite there is.

No idea either, but...

... actually, I looked this up, and to win the Nobel peace prize you don't have to have achieved anything per se. You can still win it if you're in the process of resolving a conflict or creating peace... So I dunno, is he? Like, at all?

As long as the "charity" he gave the money to isn't ACORN... I'd call shenanigans on that one...

I just mean I think with the way people react negativley to EVERYTHING he does, if he declined it a lot of the same people attacking him for accepting it, would attack him for turning it down. Not all, but you have to admit that there is a lot of people that attack him for the sake of it.

Oh good lord seriously.

This just in, Obama saves puppy from tree. Most internet experts claiming puppy was chinese communist terrorist, Obama wanted for questioning.

**GK Punk** · 10-11-2009, 04:52 AM

If Obama said he ate bacon for breakfast, people would demand it be outlawed

*The Stryker* · 10-11-2009, 04:53 AM

I bet he killed the pigs with his bare hands!
