Obama Best President Receives Nobel Prize

I really enjoyed Obama's speech as he excepted the Nobel prize. I thought speech was both honest and inspiring. I like the way he acknowledged that peace is a goal and that there will always be strife in the path.

Did he acknowledge that he really didn't deserve the award and that his receiving it proved the Nobel prize a fraud?
Also, how many times did he say "I" or "me" vs. "USA"? He has a habit of talking about himself all the time.

How did he "except" the prize? "I thought speech.." LOL Me Tarzan. You Cheetah. LOL
Dude, you really should have stayed in school past 4th grade.
PS - "Obama Best President" makes you sound like an even bigger idiot douche than was previously assumed. I'm surprised you didn't add a "nanny nanny boo boo" at the end.

Why would he say USA? Obama received the peace price, NOT the USA.

Some on the left didn't like it:
--
"I was appalled by the speech of Obama and the speech of the chairman of the Nobel Peace Committee because the speeches were telling us that the only way to peace is through war, and we have to reject that," Sheehan said to NRK.
Sheehan traveled to Oslo, the city of President Obama's acceptance speech, to take part in a Peace Coalition rally against "the Nobel Peace Prize Committee that gave the award to somebody who actually is escalating the violence in the Middle East."
Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq in 2004, said that Mr. Obama's new strategy in Afghanistan is the "same policy of the Bush administration," which she is famous for opposing.

I don't give two shits about the award or whether people agree with who received it.

Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin thought Obama's speech was great. Some conservatives are comparing it to Reagan's speeches. Give the guy credit for taking a situation that could have been a huge flop and turning it into a win.

But why would you give one shit?
Personally, I don't even give one shit.
Yammering on about Obama or, for that matter, Bush, Pelosi, Reid, Republicans, Democrats, is such a silly activity.
Live your life and enjoy yourself. What those political clowns do won't change because you gave a shit.

Win for who? Hitler gave great speeches that inspired his culture into war. Stop talking and get something going in this country, the blame on the last administration which was, yes, a bunch of buffoons will only carry you so far.

I think it's hilarious that they gave the NOBEL PEACE PRIZE to a guy who didn't earn it, and advocates the use of war in his acceptance speech.
It's not Obama's fault, the world's just full of idiots.

Hitler was a great speaker but the content was absurd. We're focusing on the CONTENT on the speech, not the delivery. It was a win for Obama because he was humble and the speech was appealing to many. Also, inspiring a country to war is different than inspiring a country to support genocide. Example: Bush inspired many to support war, Hitler inspired many to support genocide.
On to "getting something done". Whether you agree with his policies or not, Obama has been very active in initiating his version of change. A stimulus package was immediately passed, a decision on Afghanistan has been made, and the health care bill has made significant progress (especially considering the opposition towards it). Also, I believe our boy Vinny posted an article earlier showing action taken towards funding stem cell research.
Lots of action happening, you obviously don't agree with it so you say Obama isnt doing anything.
And stop being a butthole and register
