when the status quo frustrates.

Okay, so where’s mine?


I’m waiting.

I am also “not George W. Bush,” which as far as I can tell, is the achievement that Barack Obama just won the Nobel Peace Prize for. I have a nice empty spot on one of my bookcases where it’d look just right. Really!

    I KNOW! I was totally going “WTF” with the Nobel Committee.

    Hopefully this will be encouragement for him to actually earn it. But Jesus fucking Christ, we’re a country in two-wars. What did he do for peace?

    You are obviously just a bunch of racist neocons, spouting this crazytalk about Obama not deserving the Nobel! He is _Obama_, don’t you get it!

    Actually I hate to burst your bubbles but he got it for his work on nuclear nonproliferation which he has been doing for years. He didn’t just magically appear the day he started running for office you know.

    Actually, I hate to burst yours, but here’s the exact text of what the Committee said about their awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Obama, which I read before I created this post–did you read it before you left your response?

    “The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama’s vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

    Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama’s initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

    Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.

    For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world’s leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama’s appeal that “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.”

    While nuclear nonproliferation is certainly mentioned, it is hardly the main focus of the above paragraphs. I’m sorry, but really, more than anything, the above really does translate to NOTGEORGEWBUSH.
