I think it is great that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize; I hope he wins the Heisman, a Grammy, and an Oscar as well this year.

That committee of five Norwegian Leftists who named him, are almost as far to the fringe as Dr. Hill. They are really only interested in making their yearly political statement. What else is there to do in a country like Norway where it is dark half the time besides drink really good Russian vodka!

Bravo Mr. President !!!

Wow Tom Penn your perception of Norway is messed up. But anyways I can stop laughing after Marc’s reaction when Bill said he would give the peace prize to General Betrayus. And Bill’s insanely funny Norwegian accent…classic.

Even though Obama did inherited those two wars, he is not close to ending the war in Iraq and is considering adding 40 000 more troops in Afghanistan. This is the case of the nobel comitee and the rest of the world needing to get off Obama’s genitels. For God’s sake Obama is still hiring those murderous Blackwater contractors in those countries….hardly a man of peace.

Suprising to hear you disagree with most liberals I’ve heard so far Dr. Hill in saying that you’re disappointed Obama got the Nobel Prize. I think everyone agrees it was mostly an anti-Bush award, but I do agree with Rachel Maddow’s point that sometimes the award is just given for effort and rhetoric sometimes. I do believe that someone better deserving should have received the award but at the same time I’m actually still happy Obama is now a Nobel Laureate.

I agree with Ali on your reaction to O’Reilly saying he would’ve given the award to Gen. Petraeus! Classic

I don’t think that Obama wanted the award. Like Marc said it puts pressure on him, unwanted pressure. It also feeds the “Obama is a rock star ” argument. He shouldn’t have gotten it and he knows it. More nonsense to distract from real issues.

Lets not forget the MTV Movie award! A real leader needs to stand up and lead this country in the right direction.
