Michael Steele Attacks Obama Over Nobel Peace Prize. Yes, Really.

The Nobel Prize for Obama has turn out to be a war at home. The real question - like it or not is- what exactly has Obama done to deserve it? Or is it just another leftist way of handouts? Mr. Steele is correct on that matter - you need to do something good for such award – unfortunately many people don’t seem to grasp the concept (bummer).
I’m only asking you to think about this for one minute. What would Obama done different if he was the president when 9/11 occurred? (Or is that too much for a Nobel Prize?) Well, I really don’t want to even think about it, because I know what would it happened NOTHING! Think about that for a minute, Obama has done nothing and history will judge him better than me or any other American, but Americans voted, and democracy obey the “Vox populi, vox Dei” principle. But, that fact does not make it right!! Or Germany were correct when (almost 90 percent) of Germans approved Hitler intentions?
This is the biggest nightmare that ever happen to America; all these democrats with no idea what they want voted for a man that is a good “Orator” for lack of better terms and that is it.
I said this before; history will speak up her peace, and all of us Americans may not like to hear what history is about to tell us on 2012 or 2016.
May God bless America and you all

Praesis ut prosis ne ut imperes

Okay, if Obama really deserves his Nobel, why can't any of his defenders, name anything he's actually accomplished? The insinuation that Michael Steele doesn't have a right to comment on this fact is the supreme, double standard, hypocrisy. It's sidestepping the charge that Obama just doesn't know his job. How could liberal detractors accuse Mr Steele of being a reactionary choice for party chairman? You can't call the republicans fascists one minutes and then say they chose Steele as a reaction is foolish. Changing the discussion to race is sidestepping the issue. Certainly the qulaities of a party chair are by nature, not a matter of public record. What has any party chair of either party for the past 50 years done to merit their election? The job description centers the ability to coordinate behind the scenes without a public bruhaha. America's burden of guilt about past racial ineqities won't move us forward. We can't gloss over the tough questions for the sake of political correctness. If you don't believe me, just think back to the election and try to remember how many times you heard anyone ask a black American who they were voting for and why? It's not hateful to look at candidates with a judgemental eye. We need to be more discerning in our choices. America won't really be equal until more people have the courage to point it out when a minority candidate is not qualified, as President Obama is not qualified for the office he holds. He is a great campaigner, but doesn't know how to function once elected. For all his talk, he did nothing as senator. He missed several votes important to causes he was supposedly supporting. He built no coalitions. So far, he's just gone 'round the world apologizing for America. Isn't that special? Face it, we just need better candidates, be they black, white or purple.Based on the number of requests for contributions I get VS previous party chairs, Mr Steele is well qualified for his office. As a lifelong republican, I really haven't seen race as an issue. AT ALL. At least not in the groups I've been involved with. They have honestly tried to find qualified candidates. Period. Be they male, female, black, white, hispanic, atheists, catholic or whatever. That is the kind of goals I'd hope we'd all spire to.

MR. STEEL CHECK YOUR SELF! IF PRESIDENT OBAMA HAD NOT BEEN ELECTED YOU WOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION TO SPEAK FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.YOU ENTERED YOUR POSITION AS THE GOLDEN BOY REBOUND RESPONSE FOR A LOST ELECTION.

THE PRESIDENT ACCEPTED THE NOBLE PEACE PRIZE IN A VERY GRACIOUS MANNER. PRESIDENT OBAMA DESERVED A MOMENT OF RESPECT,UNDERSTANDING, JOY AND ACCEPTANCE.THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IS A GREAT "MEDAL'' HONOR FOR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA AND THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. HE DID NOT CAMPAIGN, LOBBY, APPLY, OR ASK FOR THE NOBEL.

MR. STEEL WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE? I GUESS YOU KNOW THE WORLD DOES NOT HAVE A PRIZE TO GIVE YOU. THERE IS NO PRIZE FOR HATE MONGERING ESTABLISHED IN THE DARK SPIRIT OF SEPARATISM.WELL, I'M NOW SURE YOU ARE ONE OF THE REASONS MANY YOUNG AFRICAN- AMERICAN AND WHITE REPUBLICANS HAVE JOINED THE DEMOCRATS. YES, THEY LEFT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AFTER THE ELECTION.THEY LEFT YOU AND RUSH THE RADIO CLOWN WHO REFUSES TO UNDERSTAND THAT OUR PRESIDENT IS WORKING TO CREATE A BETTER AMERICA FOR ALL PEOPLE. EVEN THE WHIPPED REPUBLICAN JOHN MCCAIN HAS MORE RESPECT FOR THE PRESIDENT AND MORE CLASS THAN YOU. KEEP ON ! KEEP UP YOUR IRRELEVANT REPUBLICAN FOOLISHNESS. KEEP MAKING UNKIND,DEROGATORY COMMENTS SPAWN FROM A MYCELIUM OF UNCOMMON SENSE.
KEEP ON! WE STAND READY TO EXCEPT OLDER REPUBLICANS THAT WILL BE LEAVING YOU ALSO. .YES! THEY WILL BE VOTING FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF ALL AMERICAS AND COMMON SENSE. MR. STEELE IT WOULD BE NOBEL OF YOU TO MANAGE YOUR COMMENTS.

I am an independent, who leans toward the Republican principle of smaller, clean government and fiscal responsibility. That said, I think it is sad that Republican leaning people keep sniping at the opposition about the wrong things. Obama did not seek the Nobel Peace Prize. It is not his fault he was awarded it. Let's not criticize him for something he did not control or seek.

Republicans should remember why they lost Congressin 2006, and the Presidency in 2008. Republcans deserved to lose. Under Republican leadership and Bush we had record (for that time) deficits, unreasonable subsidies to special interests, including a $300 billion farm subsidy bill, record earmark spending ($45 billion in 2006) that was full of corrupt special interest favors slipped in at the last minute without transparency. Republicans broke their promises of smaller government and fiscal restraint and observing term limits as pledged by many Republicans in 1994. Republicans accomplished nothing for health care and Social Security reform during the many years they were in power. Republicans should concentrate on getting more ethical, competent candidates elected to the Senate and House as opposed to Tom Delay, Denny Hastert, Don Long, Ted Stevens, John Ensign (womanizer who preaches family values and doesn't practice them) and others. The Republicans should clean house of bad politicians in their party and work to demonstrate constructive actions and stand by their promises.

Michael Steele is exactly right. I'm glad he had the courage to say it like is. The Nobel prize was given to our president because they want to pad the way for a more globalist world. I'm very angry because I believe it puts the president in a bad spot unless he really wants to push their agenda; I hope not.
The fact of the matter is, Europe has been jealous of America because of her exceptionalism.

It is a really sad day when we cannot respectfully disagree with policy but applaud an honorable accomplishment at the most basic level. Enough said...

"Yeah, yeah, they're just jealous, that's why they gave Obama the award. No wait, they did it to co-opt him. No wait, they did it because we're glad he 'lost' the Olympics. Yay!. No, wait: Boo!"
See how confused you rightwingers are? You don't know whether to shit or go blind, these days. Pathetic.

"What has President Obama actually accomplished?” He was elected president of the United States of America, a nation with a marked history of slavery, racism, and xenophobia (read: fear of immigrants). With a name like Barrak Obama, that's a pretty damn big accomplishment.

Michael Steele represents the sickness that may take this country down; if we slip into second class status, it will be because of the Republicans who would rather damage Obama than have any pride in our president, and he is the president for all of America. Have they no shame?

What has Michael Steele accomplished? He appears to be one of the most self aggrandising persons on the political stage. He sucks up to the likes of Limbaugh and others who would probably pass him on the street. His nomination was one of obvious calculation in the election of Barack Obama. If he has redeeming qualities, they are well hidden.

I think you should be proud of the president getting an award. Citzens outside of the U.S. awarded Obama the Nobel Peace Prize and I don't think badmouthing him sounds like a good American. If you can't say something nice, keep your mouth shut!

The Nobel Prize Committee set a new standard for groups like the Motion Picture Academy, in that an Oscar no longer requires the winner to give a great performance, but intend to give one. The Nobel Prize was once given to people who do something great; while today just saying one wants to do something great is enough to win. The Nobel Prize Committee is trying to shape future reality by recognizing intent to do something they admire, such as equalizing America with the third world. The Oscars could be awarded to actors who never perform, but tell others they would like to. Obama, then, should also be given an Oscar too.

Nobel:BAD Olympics:BAD (unless it's in SLC) Diplomacy: BAD
France:BAD Muslims:BAD healthcare reform:BAD rule by majority: REAL BAD (unless a Republican wins)

Michael Steele can not be called an African-American. There simply is nothing American about him.

The right is lost in the wilderness. As long as they feel comfortable there, they will continue to be the minority. Steele is just jealous. The Repub...I mean the whiners just can't get in touch with the American people, so they attack anything the Dems do, but to no avail. Like Rep. Grayson said: "Lead, follow or get out of the way!"

We need to pray for the members of the Republican Party. It is a terrible thing to be filled with so much hate. It is apparent that the fear that the world as they know it is coming to an end. May God have mercy on Mr. Steele. He clearly does not understand that he is patsy for the party.

Load Of F.....G B......S. More an Inter political staging by a corrupt American government and the d..k-heads of the future one nation/one world government. I say F..k them all..

WHAT HAS OBAMA DONE? Humm let's think about that?

IRAQ THEN: When Bush was in office we had no way out of Iraq, no time-line, increased violence and 12 billion a month being spent.
IRAQ NOW: Most troops out this month. Taliban saying they won't attack us. Iran saying Obama doing good job. Focus in Afghanistan where Osama is.

ECONOMY THEN: Bush basically tried to bankrupt america saying our personal banks would close the next day and our jobs would fire us because they can't get a loan to make payroll.
ECONOMY NOW: Up 2800 points, lost 150+ jobs instead of 700+ per month. Corporations giving bonuses because the recession is over. Cash for Clunkers, which everyone and their mama applied for. And unemployment benefits extended almost 24 weeks in total.

HEALTHCARE THEN:Bush had no healthcare plan. Or a domestic agenda for that manner, remember he was at war his whole presidency.
HEATHCARE NOW: 100% Focus on reducing my premiums, reducing my costs, and giving me better healthcare. Bill to pass next week. Now that's service!

EQUAL RIGHTS THEN: Women getting paid less for the same job. Blacks looked as nice, but not leaders or corporate material. Welfare recipients are beggars.
EQUAL RIGHTS NOW: Law passed for equal pay for women. US Apology to African Americans for slavery and its reprecussions and hurtful financial prejudices. An example, for all to look at to say: hey, a black man thats not a drug dealer, rapper, or basketball player, who speaks good english and has a black wife and no kids by another woman - now that's a darn role model!! And he writes books too. His wife is even smarter then him!! and she's a lawyer from harvard.

Wow, and to think, he did this all in a year. Not to mention using the talents of Bill and Hillary Clinton to completely unite the democratic base and have the muslim world around us saying - Obama's a great guy!

Republicans, I love it: keep diggin your political grave!

The question remains what has Obama done to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize?
Remember were comparing him to Martti Ahtisaari who spend three decades solving international conflicts, Jimmy Carter who spend decades to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development, Martin Luther Kind Jr., Woodrow Wilson, and Theodore Roosevelt. All these men spent years and years struggling for peace and fighting for peace. Obama hasnt been President for a year yet he has done so much for peace. How many treatys has he signed and what actions of peace have been put into place because of him directly? If he deserved this Peace Prize we as Americans would be proud of our President not questioning why he deserves it.

Looks like you're not on the same page as the Obama-basher who says here that Ahtisaari is as undeserving of his prize as Obama is. Remember, the beneficiaries of Ahtisaari's efforts included Muslims, ergo he is a bad man like Obama is. See, my point is that your sentiment about Obama's unworthiness is shared by ignoramuses and bigots.
Lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas...

It is not for americans to question, who gets the nobel peace prize. The winner is determined by a committee created to research the effects of people's actions as it pertains to peace, seeking peace, and what influence they have had in reaching a more peaceful world. What has Obama done: He has clearly communicated to the world that working together for the benefit of all our nations and people is our direction and how we are choosing to lead and think. No other President has expressed this same ideal, and no other president has been commended as this president has with regard to his foreign policy stance. He has affected the perception of the world. That is what he did. His winning of the nobel is therefore, much deserved.

Sorry ass Uncle Tom. I'm so sick of him. When will he wake up and realize that his is being used by the RNC as a racial scapegoat. Is he really that stupid? Does he really think they like him? Can he actually be that delusional? I guess the answer is yes after a comment like that.

Uncle Tom? Racist much?

---“What has President Obama actually accomplished?” It is unfortunate that the president’s star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights.---

Sums it all up really.

MR. STEELE:

SHAME ON YOU !!!!!

You would believe that Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize!!! in your opinion does he deserve anything!!!! thats what I thought...I did not ever agree with Bush...but I did not go around talking smack about a President ....Maybe you republicians should think about that.The more you say the more ignorant you sound. sit down,shut-up and listen for a change!!!!

Obama still cleaning up after the stupid G.W Bush

And he is been a president less then a year ...
give him time

Exactly, kevinmccoy! Give him time to DO SOMETHING before nominating him less than two weeks after his inauguration. And now he has been announced as the winner just after he missed a big opportunity to ACT to get the U.N. Security Council to act on Iran's illegal uranium enrichment. I am no fan of Jimmy Carter, but he did something to earn his Noble prize, and perhaps Obama will, too, given time, as you say. At best, awarding Obama is premature; at worst, it's wishful thinking..

Michael Steele is only in that spot because the Republicans need a "steppin fetchit" to do their racist dirty work.

I was thinking about what I would do if I was John Boehner or Mitch McConnel and woke up this morning to discover President Obama had won the Nobel Peace Prize.

Really, the adult thing to do would be to congratulate him and tell him you are happy for him and proud of America. That's what would have happened in more civil bygone days.

Then I thought about what would be the modern Republican response. Michael Steele, Limbaugh and all the rest came through exactly as I expected with bitter, envious, angry and mostly classless comments.

bitter, envious, angry and mostly classless

That pretty much defines the American right at this time. Sad, really.

All you guys do is complain and bitch about Obama this and Obama that, what has he done to you that Bush didn't start, Hello wasn't Bush the one that started the war ? Or wasn't he the reason Gas went sky high, also he's the reason we lost our jobs and our houses are in foreclosure since Obama came in office I was able to afford school, and make something out of my self you people that talk all this nonsense about one's accomplishments are simply selfish ignorant morons who have nothing better to do but throw your tea partys and juice up prejudice if he had been a White man you would be happy and cheering but because he is black you are talking shit and spreading nothing but hate if you even dare claim to be a christian I cast your sorry asses to hell. Because of Obama your un-employed asses are able to log online and talk and spread this hate, I mean think about all the drama in florida with everything going on Republicans did this to our Country not Obama and if you believe everything the press says you are a stupid fuck, Wake up people wake the hell up.

And yes I'm proud to be BLACK

Im sorry I didnt know Bush started the war I guess I thought Al-Queda started the war when they killed almost 3,000 Americans during 9-11 and injured around 6,000. I guess Bush should has just said oh well and not gone to war. Maybe after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor Franklin Roosevelt should have said oh well we will just take it instead of entering WWII. Did Bush mishandel how the war was conducted of course, but he had to take action. The President doesn't have anything to do oil regulations OPEC does. And the government also doesnt regulate the banks and who they can and cannot lend money to. We fell into this depression because of greedy bankers and idiot people who are not satisfied with can afford. Thats great that you can afford to go to school. There has always been a way for anybody to go to school if they put their mind to it. There are many scholarship and financial aid money to help those who need it. However, I find it hilarious how everytime Bush was criticized it was because he was an idiot and he was, but everytime someone criticies Obama their a racist. lol. And if a black person critcizes Obama he's not black? Whats that about? And for someone who calls themselves Christian maybe you need to read the Bible; Matthew 7:1-2 "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." Who are you to condemn others to hell? Oh and its not because of Obama that I can log online and say what I want that would be my first amendment right. You know the one my founding fathers gave this country, pretty sure Obama wasn't around then. Maybe you should keep up better with politics present and past.

sarabing - President George W Bush lied to the Americian people at worst OR didn't seek the real truth about Iraq before invading it. He kept changing the reasons we were going to war in Iraq.

" I guess Bush should has just said oh well and not gone to war. Maybe after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor Franklin Roosevelt should have said oh well we will just take it instead of entering WWII."

In your analogy, FDR would attack Iraq after Pearl Harbor because Iraq was just as involved in Pearl Harbor as they were in 9/11.

I never said Bush was a good president but he shouldnt be blamed for all the things chris brown blamed him for. Typical politics for the president to change his reasons. when the americans dont like what hes doing of course hes going to change his reasons. Is this right? hell no, but who isnt going to do that. And seriously I cant figure out if im the dumb one or not but your analysis of my analogy sucks. I have no clue as to what ur point is. Care to explain better.

Chris, they have a short memory it seems. Or maybe WE do. Yes, everything was rosy over the past 8 years. No war(s), everyone had jobs, life was good. Then this, this...black man gets elected and dares to ask OUR kids to set goals and do well in school. He's got some f-ing nerve!!!
The American people never cease to amaze me with how stupid they are.
Great post Chris!
-phil

What has the hate-spewing Right allowed him to accomplish? I am ashamed of these people's unsupportive unpatriotic comments being heard around the world.

kmofwi - You nailed it right there. Everything the conservative politicians are doing right now is ALL geared toward 2012. They don't care what it's doing to the country or how it affects American citizens, their sole purpose is to block, hinder or stall anything positive the president tries to accomplish. They will even vote against things they KNOW would be good for the nation, just for spite. The LAST thing they want is for Obama to accomplish anything that might make him "look good".
Their hope is that when the 2012 election rolls around, they can say Look, what has he accomplished? They will of course, leave out any mention of them blocking him at every turn. They no longer care about the good of the citizens, they only care about themselves and "re-capturing" power.

I spent the last nine months blowing smoke out of my A$$ too, so where's my Nobel peace prize???

Did you try checking your bong?

I don't think they give Nobel prizes for that. Keep trying, though.

Oh, and one more thing.....as for Michael Steele, (and Sarah Palin as well I suppose) Do you HONESTLY think the "good 'ol boys" club would have EVER considered you as their spokesperson had Barack Obama not been elected? You and Sarah Six-Pack were the conservatives answer to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton...you were their way of saying "Look how progressive we've become, we have A black and A woman in our ranks!

The rest of the country wasn't fooled. The only ones that WERE seem to be you and Sarah! Keep doing their dirty work for them, and watch how quickly they will drop you later on, like a hot potato.

This isn't an attack. It's a fact. I guess in liberalese "telling the truth" = "attack".

Should we look in the archives of your site and revisit all the Bush-bashing by Democrats every time he had an accomplishment? Like when we found Saddam Hussein in the spider hole? If memory serves, Democrats' response was, "Whoop-de-doo. Where's Osama bin Laden!? Where's Osama bin Laden!?"

Hypocrites.

http://VocalMinority.typepad.com
The Jewish Republican's Web Sanctuary

Nope, don't remember that response from anyone. I do recall, however, the international revulsion when we botched Hussein's hanging so miserably. Happened on GW's watch. As did 9/11, as you might recall.

Well, since Osama bin Laden was behind 911, I think it was a fair question to be asking. Even though Hussein was a tyrant, I would hardly qualify "finding" him as an achievement. I'd call it a distraction at best.

I wasn't aware Bush had any accomplishments.........?

Haha. Knew someone was going to go there. Stay classy, buddy.

Well obviously how can you wear a flight suit unless the Mission is actually Accomplished, right?

That's Buddy Ma'am to you..........lol.

Had a 50-50 chance. Didn't you know us Republicans are sexist too? LOL
