I first heard about Obama winning the nobel peace prize on facebook during fall break. It was someones status and I was like What? (and honestly, that is how i get most of my news…kinda sad but its the truth).
I lost all respect for the nobel peace prize when Al Gore won it in 2007(?) over a little old lady who was abused for housing jews during the Holocoust. To me, him winning was absolutely ridiculous.
Im not trying to bash Obama in anyway, I mean he is the president of the United States and deserves everyone’s respect. It just came as a surprise to me that he won for the year 2009, it came really quick and was a complete shock.
I do not have enough facts for a complete opinion, but that is the reaction I had when I heard the news. What do you think?
I actually didnt hear about this until class the other day, but my reaction to this is, what did he honestly do to deserve the prize? Yea his slogan is “Time for a change”, but have we really seen any?
A lot of people are like ‘what the hell?’, but as someone from another country he does put the U.S. in a better light
i wrote more on my blog about it if u wanna check it out, but yeah i agree with what your saying it came rather quick for such a prestigious award. I still dont know everything Obama has done to earn it, other that a couple great speeches. By the way stay tuned 2010 Im winning the nobel prize for my new hip hop album titled “Island boy in Alabama” lol just kiddin
dont think he derseved it. yeah, its time for change all right. apparently now the nontraditional type president can get a nobel peace prize for things you promise, not do. what ever happend to obama saying he wouldnt put any lobbyists in his administration? and what did he do? he broke his promise. but they cant take the nobel prize back from his if he doesnt disarm the world of nuclear weapons. thats what you get for bein sucked in along with the crowd. i think its stupid. i wrote more about it on my blog
