Re: Barak Obama and Nobel
Obama can very well choose to not accept it.
The leader of the nobel committee is Thorbjørn Jagland, which is also the leader of the European Council. He's getting massive critisism for this and is asked to leave the nobel committee.
How I see it, giving Obama the peace-prize prematurely is an attempt to restore goodwill towards him and further blind the masses. I'm not saying Obama is trying to cover anything up or intentionally doing things wrong, I actually think he stepped up as president of the US with good intentions and hopes for a better world.
The problem the way I see it, he has no political power or determination. He's been looking like a puppet so far, with all his promises not fullfilled or broken. He's trying but doesn't know how.
It was easy getting him elected. Take a black man, throw in some likeable words and a big big smile and top it with promises too good to be true. The fact alone he is the first ever afro-american president is enough. My first clue that something was wrong, was the interview where Obama told the world why he turns his head all the time while giving speeches. Teleprompters, he said...he needs them to remember the speech, if not he admitted to be completely lost.
To me, not having the ability to recite a speech without having to read a script...well, it's not very convincing.
Goes nicely with our "great" powerless king and our master of "rowing with chopsticks" primeminister.
