PARTY THREAD! CELEBRATE, DAMMIT!

[Hekate]

Jeez louise, DUers. Of COURSE President Barack Hussein Obama -- my homie from the great lei'd back State of Hawai'i -- hasn't managed to accomplish all the things we elected him for. YET.

What the Nobel Committee is saying loud and clear is that he has changed the tone of international relations big-time. That he has laid out an ambitious course. That they are encouraging him in every way that they can. That they are sending a message to the world.

Good lord, people, will you put down your grievances long enough to enjoy this for at least TODAY?

Tell Opihimoimoi to bring da beer, cause I already got the champagne!

very pleased and proud that the committee recognizes the HOPE that he has given to all the world.

5. Negativity must be addictive

Because it's all over DU this morning. It's disgusting.

Screw the pessimists, I'm celebrating for peace.

[goclark]

156. You are so right ~ "abused people' -- so sad

We were abused by GW for so long and now by the Baggers, we don't know how to celebrate!

Baggers Incorporated have made some "Liberal Democrats" afraid to celebrate.

Not me, can you just imagine if this award went to a Republican!

They would have been thrilled to see GW get it while walking in his fake suit saying " Mission Accomplished."

Not me ~ :toast:

[impik]

190. Not only that

We also can't believe that there's actually a decent man in The White House, with his heart in right place and he's doing the best he can to help humanity. I can't ask for more.

[Mad_Dem_X]

7. Exactly!

"he has changed the tone of international relations big-time" - Yes, that is why he got the Peace Prize. We should be celebrating, not criticising!

[Kadie]

8. Well Said!

12. INDEED!!! I just absolutely LOVE this!!!

What a great comeuppance after the way the CONs beat up on him over the Olympic decision against Chicago! Oh yeah. They've certainly got that spot-on - the world really does hate Obama, doesn't it? Then again, though, I must admit that my first reaction will ALWAYS be - whatever makes the GOP upset or chagrinned or bent out of shape or leaves their knickers in a knot - has to be a good thing, especially for all the rest of us. FUCK 'em (and the whores they rode in on). Hey GOP, let's see all the Nobel Peace Prizes YOUR crowd has earned for you!!!!

15. Agreed

This place continues to amaze me that something good isn't good enough anymore. The 'I have to be contrary' crowd on EVERYTHING is getting so old!

I, for one, will relish the fact Obama has been recognized for taking the approach to use diplomacy.

Thank you. That seems to be lost today...

understands the power of hope leading to action. It is an honor and a great responsibility that they have bestowed on President Obama. Thankfully, he is up to the task. Today I am proud of our country and our President.

P.S. I am NOT proud of all the Obama haters here. THEY make me sick.

40. Hey! Is that a lamp shade?!

Woo Hoo!

For everybody who thinks Obama doesn't "deserve" it. You may be right.

But the hope is that three years from now, it will be seen as a prescient move by the Committee.

[young_at_heart]

41. Scarborough owes an apology

How is the Nobel a 'disaster' Joe? You say this with such authority and arrogance----there are many Americans who really disagree and are angered at your remarks.

[Drunken Irishman]

49. Because there isn't a Nobel Prize for having a dead intern in your office...

He's pissed, since he'd be a shoe in for that.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

108. You beat me to it about the intern.

Let's hope that after 8 years of this country going back in time to the "dark ages", people are just taking time to realize that there is hope again.

The country has been re-enlightened but it will take time to filter out the damage and negativity done by Idiot Son and Darth.

But at least for today................

No doubt the best president in my 60+ years. Yes, he's way too conservative for my tastes, but then he has to live in the world of realpolitik and I just work and try to end wars and injustice and I have
probably never had that great of an effect. When it comes right down to IT this old, cantankerous lefty loves this man not for his ideas, or because he is the first non-caucasian elected to the office, but because he gives me and everyone else what we need-HOPE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW. Congratulations to BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

To make the point about the party animals in Butte, I must add that the picture was taken on St. Patrick's day, in mid-March, which can be friggin frigid in Montana ;) Or, as they say at the M&M Cafe as they peel off their long johns, don grass skirt head , and head out for the parade: Aloha OY Vey it's nipply cold out here!

Finally!
A thread worth rec'ing!
This place has really been getting me down lately...

[spiritual_gunfighter]

109. I am happy for President Obama and our country today

I also love that republicans heads are exploding right now. I just think when you are the President of a country fighting two wars with a possible escalation of one of those fronts, there might be a better candidate out there.

[vaberella]

110. Woohooo!!! You make me happy. Thanks for the invite.

125. nine months on the job and he's got alot more done than the last guy except

he hasn't taken as much vacation time yet, or taken up mountain bike riding, or been hiding in limosines, or at the pigfarm in texas clearing brush.

I'm still an Obamanite, sometimes I just have to realize it's only been 300 days or less and he's had a crapload of crap put on his plate to deal with.

Let's talk dirty in Hawaiian :hi:

[bdamomma]

130. isn't that the truth

"a crapload of crap put on his plate to deal with".


people seem to forget that, especially those pesty repigs.

[TuxedoKat]

133. I'm thrilled too. Congratulations Mr. President

I think it is well-deserved.

[madamesilverspurs]

134. Yes we can, and yes we SHOULD!

As I posted this morning:


"Welcome back!"

That's the message I heard behind the Peace Prize announcement. Our neighbors in the community of nations just might be on the verge of believing that we can be trusted again, that we won't bully them into doing things they don't want to do, that we'll be there to lend a hand should the need arise, that we'll listen more often than we lecture. In a way they're partnering with those of us who worked so hard for so long to bring about the change that would allow us to reclaim our 'better angels', encouraging us to the patient plodding work that is required. As we clear away the debris of the last several years we can do so knowing that our neighbors are once again standing with us - because they want to. I think they've missed us.

164. I believe

that Obama is working to do those things he set out to do. I don't believe he is letting the loony right knock him off course. The Senate needs to bring the bills that embrace the agenda that he laid out before them.

I'm so proud of Obama and I couldn't be more happy for him, his family, and America.

[havocmom]

171. Nutella or Dove bars? Got both right here

Personally, Dove bars seem better for Nobel Peace Prize Parties, but you can put Nutella on celery and call it a diet snack ;)

[appleannie1]

170. Cheers

Some noise makers and party hats are in order And can't forget the entertainment


A day we all should be proud of.

[havocmom]

172. Step right up: Firing up the blender for some Margaritas made with Hortinos

and there is a monster jar of fresh salsa made with home grown tomatoes and cilantro. Tortilla chips are over there. Got some jalapenos and cream cheese; anybody up for iguana eggs?

If you're cold, I have makins for tortilla soup with some chicken strips and mild green chilis.

Quesadilla anyone?

[Hekate]

174. It is about time for dinner, isn't it? I'm bringing in my butternut squash and garbanzo bean stew...

... it's actually an amazingly good recipe.

I'll have one of those Margaritas, thank you kindly.

Real iguana eggs? :wow:

Hekate

[havocmom]

175. 'iguana eggs' = jalapeno poppers; cream cheese in the peppers,

breaded and fried or done in whipped egg batter and fried. No iguanas in Montana ;)

[Hekate]

177. I didn't think they could possibly be real lizard eggs, but I never heard of them before LOL

Sound tasty

[havocmom]

179. Funny part is, I heard that name for poppers from my sister

who noticed it on the menu of several places in.... Hawaii. Go figure ;)

[Hekate]

186. Hehe. Actually I live near Santa Barbara, CA now, but once a kamaaina, always a kamaaina...

182. I'm with you , for cripes sake, some folks need to get off

their high horse of righteous indignation concerning the fact that all is not perfect YET with the world. I believe he received the award as an endorsement of the fact that he is taking us in the right direction. The world is hungry for hope. Let's share it and enjoy it.

[Orwellian_Ghost]

191. Obama hasn't done anything

Well he has refused to prosecute war crimes. Does that count?

Oh yeah and this gem which was buried in the noise:

"Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to reauthorize three expiring provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act. While the bill they passed strengthened civil liberties in several small ways, the Committee failed to make any meaningful improvements to the PATRIOT provisions that are most prone to abuse. Disturbingly, Obama Administration officials played a significant behind the scene role in opposing stronger civil liberties protections, directly contradicting Obama’s positions as a Senator."

I thought I'd join with some Reggae music from Jamaica, some chutney music from Trinidad and some calypso from Trinidad and Barbados. As usual, am always late. Happy days are here again especially with the President's commitment to end DADT and the so-called DOMA at his speech at the HRC event this evening!
