So I think I hear you saying tha...Ouch KeesKeenis! <br />So I think I hear you saying that most politicians are liars? I think there is a distinction made between making promises that you thought you would be able to keep and blatant flat-out lies. I don't see President Obama as a flat out liar.<br /><br />BTW:I'm sure Rush Limbaugh as well as the entire team over at Fox TV would be quite impressed by your witty comparison between Sarah Palin and Prez Obama! <br /><br />PS: Ahafo Mine? I'm quite impressed!!!Abena Serwaahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888021677219851484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-72277274175842103432009-10-31T19:44:44.496+00:002009-10-31T19:44:44.496+00:00Hi Procrastinator.

and still for me i don'...Yes Abena,<br /><br />call it so.<br />and still for me i don't need 'Nobel' to know that Obama has preached and worked towards a more peaceful world.<br /><br />Nobel or no Nobel, Obama has dared to change the world. whether he achieves peace in Iraq, the middle East and Afghan practically is another story! and i don't like the fact that he's not being straight; very straight with the Israelis who are murdering innocent Palestinians. <br /><br />but the message has been sent out loud and clear long before the prize. This could even be traced back to his opposition to the iraq war way back when bush embarked on his "you're either with us or against us" fantasy.novisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144548155567055364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-78766504776644062842009-10-15T09:06:43.979+00:002009-10-15T09:06:43.979+00:00@Nsoromma:I read somewhere about a Jesus/Obama par...@Nsoromma:I read somewhere about a Jesus/Obama parallel...very interesting..I totally agree with you about the lazy leaders.It may actually be human nature to feel comfortable with leaders who do not think out of the box or go beyond the limits for their people. Quite sad. <br /><br />@Nana F-A: You and I both! Also, would not want to be President Mills either!<br /><br />@Novisi: Interesting!

They are not awarding Obama for his 'achievement as president' (@Sankofa). and it's clear therefore that it's the total contribution of Obama to the current reduction in tension in the world that is being awarded (the February nominations deadline can't be for his presidency work). <br /><br />for me, i don't need nobel to access Obama to have done enormously well to bring about some balance in this very volatile world where Osama, Iran, etc are threatening. The preaching is significant for a person like me who believes in the power of words.<br /><br />cheers!novisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144548155567055364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11894178.post-59253844886634873852009-10-14T13:56:51.650+00:002009-10-14T13:56:51.650+00:00One person I don't want to be right now is Oba...One person I don't want to be right now is Obama.

Even if he only get through a fraction of what he wants the world will be improved by so much but the Republicans will still call him a Communist (sigh) failure.

I can just imagine it being a joint venture between Rush Limbaugh and Fox TV. I shudder to imagine the fuel they are getting off the Nobel Peace Prize right this minute.

What I don't understand is that the nominations for the peace prize are received in early February so he must have been nominated only days after he took office. What has he yet done towards peace in the world at this point? The conspiracy theorist in me is tempted to think this is yet another ploy by the republicans to add further pressure to Pres. Obama....
