Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Russians Praise, GOP Mocks, Obama's Peace Prize

Quote:
WASHINGTON — While Russia's president congratulated President Barack Obama for winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Republicans see the award as so outrageous that they're using it to raise campaign money.
Obama won the prize "for awesomeness," says the mocking GOP fundraising letter. Obama's honor shows "how meaningless a once honorable and respected award has become," says the letter, signed by Michael S. Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev had a different view. He said the award will encourage further U.S.-Russian cooperation.

If Russia's happy about it you know he didn't deserve it.

So some of our worst enemies(yes I think Russia is an enemy with Putin still calling all the shots) see this is a great thing that Obama won the peace prize? I be more than just alarmed by that. Wonder if they really gave it to him due to his apology tour?

Ummmmm yes he did, he was the exact correct person to receive that award. Nothing sacred, no valor involved, nothing but the liberal mind-set is involved with winning one of those.

I think a whole lot of folks are looking at this award in the exact wrong light. The Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke for years. Think of it this way. If you receive it, you know you're an appeaser. Jimmy Carter got one, Al Gore got one, even Yasser Arafat got one. Oblahblah definitely belongs on that list, it just fits!

That award should be renamed "The Cowards Award", or "The Behind Women and Children Award." It is what it is... a JOKE!

He's much better fitted for a Darwin award but he's gone and disqualified himself.
