    Interesting indeed.
    I suppose you do not include Jimmy Carter because he was not sitting at the time (standing I suppose?)

    Uhhh, right. Sitting, as in "currently in office".

    Its interesting that when the Nobel Peace Prize is given to a US President (current or former) that they are less than champions of individual freedom. In fact, they are/were rather authortarian.

    Why not Ronald Reagan? Did he not win the Cold War?

    Then again, if they give it to a life long terrorist like Yassir Arafat....

    Barack Hussein Obama

    He won the prize of Nobel
    With little effort or work
    The committee that awarded
    Must be a panel of jerks.


    MMM MMM MMM
    Barack Hussein Obama

    Hasn't stopped terror or war.
    Two weeks as our president-he's barely in the door!
    His health care plan is not so good.
    He should 'president' like he should.

    MMM MMM MMM
    Barack Hussein Obama

    Is more a TV star.
    My television viewing, his visage he does mar.
    Stay at home and lead OUR nation.
    please stop trying for international sensation

    MMM MMM MMM
    Barack Hussein Obama

    You asked for unclenched fist
    Because I don't agree with you, does that means I am a racist?

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    What a pity that unlike - well Barack Obama for instance - you don't use your talent for something constructive....

    Richard I don't understand your anger toward OB's award. Are you quailifed to choose? Is this your award to give or take? If some of the brightest and greatest minds in the world think he is deserving what makes you think you know better? This man is admired throughout the world by great leaders, statesmen, clergy, kings, prime ministers. Everyone is incorrect but you, Glenn Beck and and Rush? This award is something to be proud of. Our president is admired, how can that be bad? As for the timing, we do not know all that goes on in the world. We are not secert service, counter intelligence, we do not know what he has done behind the closed curtain with the military. We can see what Bush did and how he became a laughing stock to the world leaders. How he was hated, now we have a President who is intelligent, respected and loved by the world and he has won something truly special and important. He was as surprised as we all were, perhaps his greatness is being seen by the most intelligent and gifted of the world and not the common man because we don't have all the facts nor should we.

    5 people made the decision for the NPP, not the greatest and brightest minds of the world. Just 5 people.

    If Fidel Castro thinks Obama's NPP as a positive step, I guess that makes El Hefe a progressive or a moderate in his political thinking.

    I bet former POTUS Clinton is pissed at BHO getting a NPP first, after all Clinton actually accomplished something in his 8 years (not sure what but he did serve for more then 2 weeks and didnt get nominated). Heck if I were Mr Clinton Ild be doubly cranked, his VP got a NPP for creating the BS that is globull warming, and a guy that barely knew the layout of his new house and offices gets a NPP.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    No? So walking away from Gorbachev's insanity in Rekjavick in 86 did not close the case?


    What did then? If Reagan not willing to back down from "Star Wars" and thus proving that the Soviet Union was economically defunct... What DID win the Cold War?

    Seriously... You of all people whould know better than to make a blanket statement with no support.

    “That’s pretty amazing, winning the Nobel Peace Prize,” Jay Leno said, first out of the box Friday night. “Ironically, his biggest accomplishment as president so far ... winning the Nobel Peace Prize.”
