Scroop,

if thats the case, the Nobel should be given to the 50% plus of Americans who voted for him, considering it is THEY that did something about it, rather than really anything Obama did. America has validated the idea of democracy…

And if democracy is so validated, then why the need for any fundamental change?

Your comparison of hellen keller would work if Obama had done anything other than organize a community. As you even admit he hasnt championed his racial incentives.

By the way, I’m not sure how sending another 15,000 troops is “peaceful”…

12 — that is funny.

Interesting side note, some commentators note that the Peace Prize puts the kabosh on any US support for an Israeli strike against Iran. Hadn’t heard that before.

#10 and #12

I admit my jokes are pretty dumb, but at least I write them myself. Well, come right down to it, Joseph Smith and L.Ron Hubbard wrote their own religions, your guys are still repeating the same life after death cliches about a man born from a virgin and rising from the death thousands of years later. Difference between a myth with legs and myths still crawling on their hands and knees.

Breaking News:
I just saw in CNN (Lou Dobbs) that Obama watched a football game yesterday and was awarded a Heisman Trophy.

I think a better wording would be:

“…the West’s drift over the past 400 years from a religious worldview … to a predominantly secular worldview is sold ‘as a story of progress.’”

Next, 0bama will probably get an Oscar for the autobiographical film he’s going to make, unlike Gore who got it for science fiction.

Re the PEACE? prize. It’s just a worldly prize.

They are all worldly prizes. The prizes that many people think come in Heaven are probably IMAGINARY prizes.

Some of us can tell the difference.

There are many who voted for O because he was black. O seems like a nice guy and promises lots of stuff–so why not. Reparations.

Republicans tried to get a black nominee. Our family voted for a black Republican. (Like the Dems were the only ones to find someone black to run for Pres.?)

There are plenty of black people who would have made a more qualified president. So I don’t know why the Dems think that we just don’t like O because he is black. There are plenty of black folks who did NOT vote for O (abortion is a major reason).

Re the PEACE? prize. It’s just a worldly prize. At this point, and seeing who has received the prize, I would not want to be in that company of so called “winners.”

I hope someone with integrity in the near future turns it down, but I doubt they will vote for anyone with integrity.
