Obama Nobel?????

yes what about all the other people in America? the Mexicans? No offense. I saw an interview with him about it and someone called up and asked that and he never answered the question just made up something and the person was fine with it.

He is a smooth talker and not much else. sorry to say. and there is one reason he won this. and it was because of well i won't say, i am not being mean, but just saying my opinion. because he hasn't done anything worth giving him this prize.

Would I be very far off if I were to say that the US of A is a very racist country? Something like South Africa in the 80s? But without the actual apartheid (now there's a word the Dutch are NOT proud of)?

Lets just say the media has done a nice job in America Edu with their political aggendas. (I have no clue why so many middle class Americans are up in arms)

by the way the Middle class is being hurt by what Obama is doing, some of it. That is why they are up in arms.

And edu, i said no offense because i don't mean for that to sound bad, but what other reason is there for him winning it? Has he really made peace?

That's the problem, a lot of people don't understand what the Nobel Peace Prize is, and they like to belittle anything Obama. This is a great thing for our country and our people and the world. I for one am proud of my country and my president and I am looking forward to more cooperation between nations, thank you Mr. President for starting the process.

P.S. the right just like to be angry all the time, so don't take it personal.

Americans don't like a government messing with their affairs.
They definitely don't like the idea of redistribution of wealth by taxation.
It's only to be expected from the bastion of capitalism.
To most Americans, there is no contradiction in the wealthiest nation in the world having such a large homeless population, or working people who cannot afford the basic necessities unless they work two or three jobs.
America sees itself as a place where you are free to be anything that you can make of yourself, but if you fail, you are on your own.

But let's not get into politics.

To me Obama winning it is much more an encouragement to keep up with what he has planned as well as his current achievements.

Than by all means, be my guest!

Sorry Wildor, but I still think this is a fairly decent discussion

Anyways, Obama is trying to level out the taxes again where the richer you are, the more you will pay. Sure the middle class will feel this abit, but in the long run, they benefit more from it then they will hurt. America's wealth is extremely spaced between the classes, and in the last 10 years, the wealthy class has been amassing more of America's wealth. I don't have exact numbers, but its like 1% of the American population owned 50% of America's wealth 10 years ago, and now its more like 1% owns 65% of America's wealth. The middle class actually benefits much more from Obama (and trickle up economics) then they do from Reganomics (trickle down)

Anyways, America is the country that has to take action to foster peace between many nations, and now that Obama is president, there is a real chance we might be able to make peace between alot of nations much more possible.
