Obama's Nobel: Consider This

[NWHarkness]

If a third world country, say Burma or Nigeria, had been ruled for 8 years by a regime that rolled back civil liberties, started 2 wars and threatened to start more, the leader of a grassroots movement that peacefully toppled that regime would get the Peace Prize, and no one would question it's appropriateness.

1. Not to mention Mr. Obama's efforts to control the proliferation

of nuclear bombs.

[NWHarkness]

2. And climate change

The committee specifically mentioned Obama's changing US policy on climate change.

3. No, not "climate change" "change of climate" in world diplomacy.( Meaning he's not Bush).

5. Thank you for the correction

That's what I get for reading important news items at 6 AM.

6. Except if the new regime continued both wars and even

expanded one, then allowed the rich and powerful to cause it's people to lose their,jobs,housing and dignity by the millions and did nothing in response? What would we say then? What if they talked a good game but played like crap? What if after everything, with a wink and a nod they continued MOST of the policies of the past, how would you feel then?


I'm sure this prize means so much to the homeless and the jobless in America.

8. I would propose that

the whole Democratic Party shares this award. No?

9. Yes, but only if

the new leader actually halted the wars started by their predecessor.

Every day more people in Iraq and Afghanistan get killed. War is now officially peace.
