Take a bet?

I saw this last night and thought it must be a joke. I had the same thoughts as you, thinking the Lot would be overtaken with discussions about whether or not he deserves it. It is a pity your discussion has turned into a "for/against" when it wasn't your intention, but it is to be expected. You might need your flak jacket - and indeed anyone who responds. Being an Aussie, I don't like to comment on the politics of another nation, and I'm not doing so, but forgive me for querying my idea of the Nobel Prize. Isn't it for ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENT and not for a POTENTIAL achievement? I am not aware of any ACTUAL achievement in this area. Could someone enlighten me?

[b]Hello my friend I responded to one because that was the first I heard of it, I am responding here because its you, but thats it for me, honestly could care less, I don't think he did anything to warrant this honor but not about get into a big thing about something that I had no control over. Thanks my friend.[/b]

heck, HE said he didn't think he'd done anything to deserve it - I mean, as Saturday Night Live said - what has he done? - NOTHING...

hi dawnald is it safe for me who does not dislike obama to even breathe on this screen let alone write here, will they throw rotten eggs or just send an atomic bomb at me, or just write mean nasty things? I do not often well almost never answer political discussions as I seem to be in the minority here with my views and I hate being dissed and even hated. I am not wearing my suit of armour right now either. lol lol lol.

Ok, I just got here, too. I'm guessing there will be at least 7 today...not counting yours. And, yes, you get points for precognition. I hope you don't need your flack jacket but the rabbit probably has it anyway.

There are plenty of discussions on it already! Brownie points to you! I don't understand, maybe cos i'm british, but why is everyone so down on him? He seems pretty good to me and better than al lot of the others. Plus just standing up and being the first was a risky, challenging move and it did unite a lot of people. I'm not going to get any further involved as i don't know a lot about it! I'm only saying that here cos its not a "serious" politics discussion and i hope i'm not going to get bombarded by anti-obamites, i have no protection here!

It's days like this that make MyLot fun! ;~D

I just read the news...and I am truly confused. I thought it took alot to win that prize not just projecting speeches that someone else has basically written for you....anyway......I won't even project if you should be dressed to kill....like in a flak jacket.....LoL.....I'll give you kudos for a heads up on how many discussions that will result from this.....

Hi dawnald, I have not come across any discussion about that but I have heard it on the news, maybe people are getting fed up of it all to put it up on discussion, though I may wrong. Tamara

One he did not deserve. But that the end of the day we really can't do anything about it. We don't control who gets it. But all I can say is somebody got robbed....like the people who were in the running against him. But on to your point....yep there are going to be a lot discussions on this on mylot. It is going to be a free for all. And none of it on Obama's side. Because even the dems know he did not do anything to deserve it so it is really hard if not impossible for them to take up for him.

You can be silly and I can be silly. However, the USA view their President the fact is that the rest of he world recognise something in him - that he really is working for peace in the world. I do not think that the USA citizens realise how the world views this man. How they want him to succeed at world peace. Out side of the USA he is considered a great world leader and the world recognises that he cannot achieve that much in a few years. But they see his potential and WANT him to succeed. Our bundle of brightness - the one that is our leader - guess what he did? Stood up in Parliament and announced that "We are too Blessed to be Stressed". Our country would love to swap him for Mr. Obama any day.

It seems in politics I just read, because I do not understand about what they were doing there. If I discuss there, the air will become increasingly hot and needed double anti-bullet. You're not silly but sometimes. Where I put my anti-bullet, oh there is it.

To bad myLot's glitch in posting non repliable discussions messed up your bet. Still some managed to sneak theirs in before the glitch took over. I've had 'Obama bashing' withdrawal symptoms all night last night and now this morning too! So much to say and very little opportunity to say it......!!!

Can I ask if any one knows what exactly he has done to deserve this? I am in the belief someone got paid off to make this man with a failing rep look good again.

LOL i had heard about that,but i hadn't heard why he was awarded it. confusing.they didn't give very much information.

Well it is my opinion that he does not deserve the honor and certainly didn't earn it. I am in the UK and there was an article in our morning paper today and it showed disgust for him being honoured. It also said that he will get £900,000 as well - thats almost 1 1/2 million dollars. He said he would give it to charity. Wonder if he will give it to his crooked favourite charity ACORN. He should give to the US Treasury to help pay for his ridiculous Stimulus.

You definitely called it! All I've been seeing this weekend are MyLot folk pretty much COMPLAINING that Obama got the award - or asking people what THEY think with an angry undertone (for example, I loved this one: "Do you think Obama deserved a nobel peace prize?" and then the next sentence would be - "Do you think this prize has lost all meaning?"). It seems like EVERYONE has a negative opinion on this event; and they intend on showing around here at myLot. I don't really have a strong opinion either way, and so I tend to avoid these discussions where the starter CLEARLY has an AGENDA - and clearly is willing to argue to get his or her point across. I steer away from it. Anyway, I've already seen close to 5 or 6, and I haven't really been active here lately due to all the problems MyLot's been having. But I imagine more and more are going to spring up, because apparently it has upset many people here.

I actually didn't know anything about it until I saw about 5 discussion topics talking about it and I thought it was another joke somebody started. But then I flipped over to the news and there he was.. I responded to one of them and didn't feel the need to respond to the others. By they way I captured the blue rabbit and cooked him for dinner last night! mmmmm... rabit stew is soooooooo delicious! Oh and you're allowed to be silly anytime... I think it would be odd if you weren't silly

I have said a lot of things against Obama and his receiving The Nobel Peace Prize, I hope USA government does not turn against me and bans my my-lot account and refuses to pay me my share!

i don't love to talk about politics.for the headline,i want to say politics is too complicated, so common person cant understand it. go to listen to music or see a film, that's fun?
