Nobel Peace Surprise

Yesterday's piece in The Economist looking at the odds of various candidates to win the Nobel Peace Prize is more interesting after today's announcement.

1. Reagan, Thatcher & John Paul II free 100s of millions from oppression & tyranny? - PRICELESS! Awarding the Nobel 'peace' prize to Obama whose only talent is to read a teleprompter? -WORTHLESS!

2. Wow, It's amazing how irrelevent this award has gotten. Even if I were an Obama supporter I'd be embarrassed that this man, that has done so little, has received such an accolade.

Three words: Cult of personality

4. The various pundits, columnist, politicians may give their take on the merits of Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize and so be it. However, the real reason the Nobel Peace Prize was given to Obama is to give further support to Obama's World agenda. Obama's agenda is one and the same as The New World Order agenda is. Obama is not only in bed with The New World Order, which is made up of a number of organizations and individuals secretly tied together including the UN, he is also, one of their leaders if not, The Leader. In order for the New World Order to move forward and complete its agenda, America as a strong World power and leader must be Destroyed and Obama is rapidly performing America's destruction.

6. Watch carefully and see which charity he gives the $1.4 M prize money to. 50-50 that it will somehow be funneled to ACORN through one of the shadow organizations, such as the Tides foundation or Organizing for America and a number of others out there..

Remember that Yassar Arafat the terrorist/ PLO leader won this in 1994 - to show that this has become a meaningless prize.

8. How does Bush get 500-1 and Obama 14-1 when they have nearly identical foriegn policy records?

Please explain where the odds came from. Obviously the left leaning press/media prefers Obama and does not like Bush.

11. Someone said that Obama will get the NBA MVP award
because he likes basketball. It would be racist to deny the great one!

12. Fits right in with Jimmy Carter and Al Gore in confirming what a joke that award is.
