Did Obama Snub the Nobel Prize Committee?

[KRonn]

I'm sure he had some valid reason or another for not attending.

I can't believe I'm actually defending Obama. 

One of Obama's daughters might have had a school recital that he wanted to get back in time for?? 

[LaCroix]

I'm sorry did Norway think they mattered?

Assuming 'no', then materially how is he different from any other rich dude?  Shouldn't Obama be spending his time trying to, you know, get shit done?

assuming 'no,' then he has nothing better to do than eat lunch with kings!

So what's the word on the Norwegian street Viking?

Probably a variant on " Meg God! Denne øl er latterlig dyr!", it usually is

Fits nicely into my theory that Obama will gladly bow to non-white monarchs/heads of state, but disrespects European ones.  As always, I blame the skirts (in this case, Michelle)

Is Obama racist against the white man?

[Caliga]

Norway has 700 men in Afghanistan. They can be recalled.

meh, they're just there to loot monasteries and carry off wimmins anyway

Hopefully he felt like the fake he was and hence it wouldn't be right for him to act like a real nobel peace prize winner.

I love how all the pinheads are blaming the blunder of awarding the NPP to the wrong man on the recipient! 

He isn't the fake in this situation.  The award is the fake.   that he doesn't respect the award any more than absolutely required earns him kudos from me, and if the Norwegians don't like it, they should address their anger to the people who trashed the credibility of their prize over the last few decades (but never more than this year).

Every now and then I completely agree with something you've posted.


This usually causes me anxiety.

Dunno.  I think Michelle is, at least.

[KRonn]

I liked President Obama's speech listed a couple of pages earlier in this thread. Very well said.

[grumbler]

You've got issues.

  Straight to the ad hominim fallacy without even passing go! 

Obama's treatment of the Norwegian king is surely all about my issues! 

[DisturbedPervert]

Did he bow to the King of Norway?

Norway sucks, but so does Obama.

Dunno.  I think Michelle is, at least.

She also has a black helicopter she got from the UN.

Sweet speech, I bet the committee was feeling some buyers remorse after that!
