Title: Wierd happenings
Post by: Chasfield on October 09, 2009, 06:24:54 pm: The Nobel Peace Prize sort of falls out of the sky onto your guy. Our (ex) dude is waiting for the EU Presidency to fall into his lap - like there was nobody else in the World that would do instead.

If this kind of thing keeps happening, my lower jaw is going to get sore from hitting the desk when I read the news on-line.

As for the Nobel Prize, all the nominations had to be in by February, and then nominations were closed.
By Feb, Obama had just barely even taken office.
And he'd certainly done nothing to affect "world peace" before that anyway.
Not that he's done anything since, either.
Maybe it had something to do with those trillions he gave to the international banks in the bailouts, with no questions asked and no oversight?

And, as you point out, what makes Blair "worthy" of anything, either?

It's all getting very transparent now, eh?

He has started some promising initiatives and gotten decent preliminary results, but not nearly enough time has passed to see the full outcomes.

It's really bizarre.

I thought his statement struck the right tone, though.

Besides and whether or not you like the man, this is another way for the Academy Awards (ahem, the Nobel Peace Prize Committee) to show their disdain for former President George W. Bush, to whom they did not award an Oscar! I take it for the joke that it (has been and) is!

But yes --an eye brow raiser, must not have been many applications this year.

As a friend of mine pointed out,--- the same day as the moon is bombed.
