That's just the way Whitey works; give something to the colored man and
then take it right back away again.
You ask the Indians about that one.


Let's hope Russia doesn't want
us to give them Alaska back, too.
Okay, maybe they can have it if they
take Palin with it.


General Lebed did want to take Alaska back. Think of Sweet Sarah Palin
in a reeducation camp outside Fairbanks.
I think about that a lot.
Then I cackle like a hyena.

The only reason the democratic party self destructed is that they insist
on continuing the policies of George W. Bush almost verbatim. **** em.

You do understand I voted for Obama, right? I'm far from his biggest
fan, but I thought he was a lot better than McCain (who seemed
totally
out of it in the last weeks of the campaign, so what would have
happened had he won the Presidency... and the more I see of Palin
the
more I hate her.)

The world is delighted that bush,jr/Cheney and their belligerence
and
their arrogance are GONE.

Okay. And this is sufficient to give Pres. Obama a Nobel? I ask you
again, don't you think that cheapens the Nobel Peace Prize... even a
little?
=================
No not at all. The dislike, world wide, for bush,jr/Cheney was beyond
measure.
=================




Have you noticed...there's virtually no rocket fire into Israel
recently?

Excellent. But how is this Obama's accomplishment? Does he have a
peaceful aura or something that makes Palestinians not want their
homeland back, or Israelis not want to slaughter Palestinians
anymore?
Mr. Obama is President, not God (although some of his press makes it
hard to tell the distinction.)

==================
Almost at the beginning of his term he appointed George Mitchell as a
special ambassador with Israel/Palestine as his portfolio.
Google Geoge Mitchell.
bush,jr had NO ONE on the job
==================


That we are talk to N Korea and they have agreed to send their
nuclear
fuel to Russia to be processed into fuel rod?.

Caution: They "agreed" to lots of things with both Presidents
Clinton
and Bush, too. They actually kept exactly none of those promises.

====================
That's a hell of a lot more progress than bush,jr's arrogance and
belligerence
====================

That we are talking to Iran?

Meanwhile, Iran has now test-fired missiles capable of reaching
Europe, and unveiled another weapons-grade nuke plant. Yeah, I feel
the peace...

====================
We're talking, not shooting yet we have gained support from out
European allies that bush,jr never had.
We also have Russia interested in a peaceful solution in
Iran....bush,jr had nothing.
====================


That our allies support us in these endeavors?

For the moment. As soon as they realize Pres. Obama is not closing
Guantanomo, is not pulling our troops out of Iraq, and is sending
10,000 more troops to Afghanistan, they'll be demanding a recall of
that Nobel.

=====================
Guantanamo is very difficult. Two more prisoners were removed within
the last few days.
That's progress, though slow.
Our troops are being moved from Iraq in accordance with the "Status of
Forces" agreement with the Iraqi government hurriedly signed by
bush,jr before he left. Obama is honoring that agreement.
Afghanistan was neglected by bush,jr while he adventured in Iraq. He
left it to fall into a quagmire.
bush,jr left a terrible mess for Obama to clean up. They are working
on it.
Eight years of ****ups are not fixed in a little over eight months.
=====================

Talk is cheap. The world did not suddenly become safe and peaceful
at
12:00 on January 20, 2009.

That China and Russia have been participants instead of adversaries?

Such as? The Russians always wanted us to play nice with Iran (while
they sold Iran the technology to build rockets and nukes.) Now that
Pres. Obama is doing what the Russians want, they're happy (shocked,
shocked I am!). Oh yeah, I feel safe. Let's hope Russia doesn't want
us to give them Alaska back, too. Okay, maybe they can have it if
they
take Palin with it.

China, as usual, is participating in nothing outside China.

Maybe he should get two Nobel peace prizes!

Roosevelt: Brokered peace between Russia and Japan.
Wilson: Established the League of Nations.
Carter: Brokered peace between Israel and Egypt.
Obama: ???

Take a look at all the things Martti Ahtisaari had done to win last
year's Nobel Peace Prize. What has Pres. Obama actually done?

Brian

See above....not bad for a little over eight months.
I believe he'll more than earn that prize.

I suspect a lot has to do with the end of bush,jr/ Cheney's
belligerence and arrogance.

Actually, in this case I think what is good for Pres. Obama is
good
for the United States. But you have to wonder, what did he do in
11
days to bring peace to the world? It seems very much like Pres.
Obama
could have sat in the Oval Office since January 20 doing nothing
but
reading the Chicago Tribune and he still would have won the
Nobel.
Pres. Roosevelt had to bring peace between Japan and Russia to
win
his
Nobel. Pres. Carter had to bring peace between Israel and Egypt,
and
still wait 20 years for his Nobel, but Pres. Obama gets one just
for
showing up to work.

That sort of cheapens the Nobel, doesn't it?

Brian
.

That's some more sour grapes.

President Obama and the United States was honored.

Respect for America has been restored with Obama's ascendency to
the
presidency.

The world is delighted that bush,jr/Cheney and their belligerence
and
their arrogance are GONE.

... replaced by obama and the Democrat Congress' arrogance on
domestic
issues ("stimulus," "cap & Trade," "health care reform," etc.)


Have you noticed...there's virtually no rocket fire into Israel
recently?

fuel to Russia to be processed into fuel rod?.

It seems that No. Korea made similar promises to both Clinton and
Bush.

That we are talking to Iran?

Talk is cheap. Meanwhile, the centrifuges just keep on spinning.

That our allies support us in these endeavors?

They are willing to talk, too. Where is their action?

That China and Russia have been participants instead of
adversaries?

That issue is still open. China doesn't want our dollars anymore --
they
figure that BO will radically cheapen the dollar, leaving them with
a
lot of devalued dollars.

Maybe he should get two Nobel peace prizes!

How about Nobel Peace prizes to DESERVING individuals? Like:

Irena Sendler
There recently was a death of a 98 year-old lady named Irena. During
WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a
Plumbing/Sewer specialist. She had an 'ulterior motive' ... She KNEW
what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German.) Irena
smuggled
infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she
carried in
the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger kids..) She also
had a
dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let
her
in and out of the ghetto. The soldiers of course wanted nothing to
do
with the dog and the barking covered the kids/infants noises..
During
her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500
kids/infants. She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs,
arms
and beat her severely. Irena kept a record of the names of all the
kids
she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree
in
her back yard. After the war, she tried to locate any parents that
may
have survived it and reunited the family. Most had been gassed.
Those
kids she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

When she was nominated, Al Gore got the Peace prize for making an
infomercial on "global warming."

Obama can’t fix in eight months what bush,jr ****ed up over eight
years.
The world believes he can.
The knew bush,jr couldn't.
I believe Obama will succeed.

He won it merely by winning the presidential election. You simply have
no comprehension of the collective world wide sigh of relief back then.

It is too bad he hasn't done much since then. But maybe that'll change.

And what's coming around tomorrow is a whole pile of ****ed-off gays who
voted for Obama and now feel betrayed.
God, but it would have been a blast to get Beck's 912ers and this crew
into DC on the same weekend.
