They gave that peace prize way too soon - killing, murdering, torture, detention continue indefinite

the award was given for the words of promise that never materialized and instead continue too many of the very WRONG policies started in earlier years - very disappointed in the direction

Yes I know that other two would have be a MAJOR catastrophe - I had hoped we were going in a positive direction and those awarding that prize thought so too

Glad they have had a chance to live the rich life and are set for life while the rest of the world burns

combat operations in general, I don't believe any of that is occurring under the Obama administration. Have you a lick or a shred of evidence?

The award was given for the Arab Spring. The award was given for working to correct the OAF/OIF bungling of the previous Command-In-Chief. The award was given for simply being the first African American President Of The United States, a globally significant achievement in its own right.

There wasn't anyone in Sweden under the impression that he was fucking Ghandi and Jesus rolled into one and would end all war. Holy shit. You want the judges of the Nobel Peace Prize to feel guilty because they live a rich life? We should all rend our garments and gnash our teeth because there is suffering in the world?
