AP : Surprised, humbled Obama awarded Nobel Peace Prize

OSLO (AP) - President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to build momentum behind his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.
Obama said he was surprised and deeply humbled by the honor, and planned to travel to Oslo to accept the prize.
"I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many transformative figures that have been honored by this prize," he said. "I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."

"I traveled among unknown men,
In lands beyond the sea:
Nor England! Did I know till then
What love I bore to thee."

Maybe he could accept from the comforts of the White House, and help save our planet by not polluting it with emisions from Air Force One. :twisted: :wink:
As he's flying aboard gas guzzleing Air Force One, to accept his PEACE prize, maybe he could drop off some of the 40,000 US troops who may be joining the combat missions in Afghanistan. :shock:
Or maybe he's used up his fuel allotment from flying the Gas Guzzleing Air Force One to Europe, trying to get the Olympic games to swing by Chicago.

Well............... :( :) :o :shock: :? :lol: :x :oops: :cry: :evil: :roll: :?: :idea: :mrgreen: What was once a most prestious award has been taken over by the far left. For those whom don't beleive in a left wing liberal bias, if this doesn't do it, then see Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, Yasser Arafat or a host of others. I think Osama really has a chance next year!!!!!!

I am just going to stop and shake my head in complete and utter contempt and disgust.

By the way, the best estimate on gas milage is 367' (feet) per gallon for a 747, and yes the dog pooped on it yesterday.....It was on the news. That should make all those new taxes called otherwise connected to this health care bill hunkey dorey..

The gas is the least of the expense flying him around. There are unpwards of 300 or so people that work for his transportation department. Catch it on cable sometime, it is very interesting how involved moving him really has become.

Both of which were his on his own PERSONAL agenda and should not be paid by taxpayers. Him and Oprah should repay the city of Chicago any tax dollars spent for that trip since a large number of Chicago residents did not support their efforts to bring the Olympics there in the first place. As for the NPP, do taxpayers normally foot the bill for the winners to go collect it?
