Good one Goatboy!

That's a secret terrorist "handshake".

Saddam Hussein used to do that same bump with Bin Laden prior to 9/11.

And, baseball players, known terrorists, are doing it now all the time.

But really, how could Barry sit in a black church and not hate white people?

edit: Hey Jeff, I got briefed on all the International Monetary Fund
cash disbursements, back when I was a ride along in a police car, like you.

In other news, Fattrad is getting killed, losing his family's money, by
his stupid decision to sell short the Obama bull stock market, which
is now up FIFTY percent since he signed his Stimulus Bill. Suck on that.

"the Israeli's don't trust Obama and why should they. He was ready to meet Ahmadinejad no questions asked"

That's ridiculous. Speaking to him and condoning his statements are two COMPLETELY different things. I'm embarassed for you that you would justify your claim on those grounds.

fattrad, I have no idea what you just said, so I have to believe that you are, indeed, the Evil One.

Have a nice weekend!

And how could anyone sit in a black church and listen to that racist
Rev. Wright without wanting to kill white people. I AM hoarding ammo.

Barry has a secret plan to take money from the treasury and just give it out to the blacks to pay them back for slavery, or something.
Hell, no wonder Barry is so ignorant and confused, he is only half white.

And, he did NOT get in to Harvard Law School on his own merits, he got
in only because of some Affirmative Action thing. Barry is too stupid.

Barry Obama was not even born here, some place called "Hawaii", probably
in Indonesia where they photo shopped that newspaper birth announcement.

Obama was created in a petri dish, raised in Nazi Germany, educated in
terrorist camps, and invaded my United States to kill us all with death squads.

Coming back to the original post. I'm a liberal, voted for Obama, etc, etc. Having said that, he has done nothing to deserve this and in my opinion, maybe the contrary, keeping a lot of the Bush policies in regards Irak and Afganistan.

Then again, this same "prize" was given to Henry Kissinger...should I say more?

Absolutely meaningless.

are the only real guarantee of peace.

What a joke.

It may be that he was awarded the prize for having a good campaign slogan.

Why? What has he done? You must be joking? Hello I love Jimmy Carter. I hate George Bush! Hello Nobel Peace Prize. More war in Afghanistan, more troops needed, more troops willing to go. A war worth fighting according to the white house. Troops still in Iraq, This is a more an anti Bush award than a peace award. They have now made a joke of themselves than anything . The Nobel prize needs to go to someone who does something other than fly around the world on air force one to get a hair cut .or his take his wife on a 200,ooo dollar date to Chicago. The veterans’ of more than eight tours want to kick the Taliban out of Afghanistan forever and their DOPE. Listen to the generals on the ground. They need more troops, give them more troops. Do not leave again. This is what the people want in Afghanistan . They think we will leave, and we will under this President Trust Me. And they will never trust us again. Ever. Oh, But this not a war. Our own government blew up the world trade center according to some people right? Wrong! IT IS A WAR. One worth fighting. is this your peace? not me I would like to win the peace once for free people in the world. ( Key word ) FREE PEOPLE!

PEACE AND LOVE IS NOT FREE!

Just swinging in to soak up the bitter, bitter tears. Mmmmm. Sooo good. Being a partisan conservative in a reality based world is so hard isn't it?


Thursday: "Europe has obviously rejected Obama's leadership with the denial of the Olympics."
Friday: "Oh well Europe is obviously just trying to bribe Obama."

I'm sure Limbaugh, Hannity and Beck will all be wearing neck braces due to the whiplash tomorrow.

The Presidents accomplishments are what they are.

Others have earned the prize the hard way.
For instance

The Nobel Peace Prize winner for 1991

The Norwegian Nobel Committee decided to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 1991 to Aung San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma)

"Barack Obama: in I had no idea we had a Constitution"

What a f*#king joke - that was actually W's line and the entire Bush administration, almost to a man, should be brought up on treason charges for repeated and flagrant violations of both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Where were you morons then? What a bunch of f*#king whiners the right has turned out to be be - what a sad, short leap from beligerent hypocrites to whining, victimal morons - you are endlessly embarassing.

The Nobel actually was sent as an olive branch to the United States for a return to diplomacy after eight years of the pathetic squandering of our military might by incompetent draft dodgers on the hunt to restore glory to [white male dominance] of the world which went about as well as any other Cheney hunting party.
