Should Obama return his Nobel Peace Prize?

Obama has done at least as much as Bush to push an agenda of warmongering. He just seems to do a better job of covering his tracks. He's broken his promises about Gitmo and ending war, wages wars using unmanned drones in at least five different nations, and even is willing to attack American citizens as if they were enemy soldiers.

    In fact Obama has caused much of the unrest and confusion and distrust of the American Government. In fact they hijacked not only the American Government in which Obama has done nothing to have indictments against the Bush Administration for their cover up of 911, but they also hijacked the Norwegian Parliament.



    How can they give the Nobel Prize to Obama a man who pursues war, and violence, while in 1964 they gave the Nobel Peace Prize to Rev. Martin Luther King? He was the exact opposite of Character as Obama. So how can the Nobel Peace Prize be awarded to Obama? Also the Nobel Committee did not give the Nobel Peace Prize to Mahatma Gandhi. How could they not give it to him, when he inspired Rev. Martin Luther King who did get the Nobel Prize.



    Something is really flawed with the Norwegian Process. Peace means using the acts and thoughts of Non-violence. I also believe Mahatma Gandhi is overdue his Peace Prize Recognition.

    He pretty well got it for his election promises which have not been kept. At least our guy, Lester Pearson won one with the idea of peace-keeping soldiers in 1957 but with Afghanistan that seems to be a joke now. let's see how the states are faring in 2059, be 98 then if there's any Civilization left by then.

    Perhaps we should ask the people in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen and Libya. I bet they're hoping for change.

    Now if everyone would just stop paying taxes the government wouldn't have money to go around the world mass murdering people. Not even the lenders would lend if they had no reason to think the government could collect.

    BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ROADS!!!!!!

    He bombed Libya, extended our stay on both Afghanistan and Iraq, admitted to having and using a "secret kill list", and is reposturing our military towards Iran and a new cold war with China. What about any of that deserves a peace prize.

    He is the voice of reason in a country full of fear peddlers. He deserves it if for no other reason, than finishing the job Bush left behind and cleaning up his mess. I'd rather have him in the White House, making the decisions regarding whether we go to war or solve the problems peacefully. Bush didn't even try to negotiate peaceful solutions. At least O'bama communicates with other leaders instead of ignoring problems.
    O'bama didn't start the war, but he is bringing it to a close, as he promised. Why do Republicans continually push us into expensive wars that wind up killing our young people? If drones are available to curtail the activity, why wouldn't any president use them and end this war, instead of maiming our soldiers? In WWII people probably complained when Truman ended the war with the Atomic Bomb, but it saved a lot of American lives.
    I'm tired of hearing about wars, we need some peacetime to recover from the loss we've been through.

    He's finishing wars? Yeah there isn't military in Iraq but it didn't come in the 16 month period he promised. And he STARTED a war in Libya that was undeclared.

    why not follow the constitution in regards to war?

    I erred. It is funded by the Bank of Sweden. The Norwegian Parliament chooses a committee to award the Peace Prize in Oslo.

    The point being Obama can return it to Norway, and apply for citizenship at the same time.

    I think he should keep it, simply because the fact it was given to him when he had done nothing to earn it except make promises of what he would do and still failed to deliver only lends weight to how worthless the Nobel Peace Prize really is, just like everything else it seem it is just political.

    Voice of reason? It's reasonable to be murdering people in five different nations with remote controlled drones? It's reasonable to have American citizens on a terrorist kill list? I'm not quite sure how that's reasonable and I'm even less sure of how that's worthy of the Nobel peace prize. http://politicoid.blogspot.co...

    Sure sounds a hell of a lot like WAR CRIMES to me considering we are using those drones to murder people in Countries we do not even have a Declaration of War with.

    As much as people complained about Bush both wars he got us into he legally under the US Constitution had the Approval of Congress and Decelerations of War.

    Says you, many other people believed the information was true and after all we still had the receipts from selling them to him but that is actually irrelevant because my statement is fact and he went to war with the support of the US Congress as required by the US Constitution something that President Obama can NOT Claim.
  • whiteco... kir 2012/08/16 22:29:56 (edited)

    I believe Barack was against going into Iraq for Weapons of Mass Destruction, when Bush told that lie to the Congress. That action was Bush's downfall. It cost the American taxpayers, and prolonged the war. We can't afford another war, putting more soldiers at risk, that is the reason for using drones instead of men on the ground. I am very skeptical of anyone who lies about a terrorist kill list. I'd need more convincing than that Republican blog, which has no authority, just someone's misguided opinion. Sounds like you listen to Rush Limbaugh and Fox News.

    We're talking about Obama here, not Bush. Obama tried to extend our stay in Iraq and is currently waging war in at least five different nations murdering people with remote controlled drones. Isn't that a problem? You really are typical of a zombie who has been brainwashed by a party. I was arguing with some Republicans just before about the truth of Romney/Ryan and again they sat there going "no it's not true!" when it clearly was.

    Well if you can Justify using Drones to mass kill "suspected" targets then why not take the next logical step and just Drop A nuke on them after all that will end the conflict then and there and no boots need to be on the ground and hey think of all the Money we will save after all almost every drone strike also has civilian casualty's so whats a few more million dead non combatants as long as it is Obama who orders it.

    See now i am thinking like a Liberal, wow i think i need a shower.
