For that one they said it was Obama's loss, of course. It wasn't; between Bush and the parlous state of the US Olympic Committee whose director, a printing industry executive (!) who resigned under pressure from the constituent sports organizations this week, there was no chance Chicago would get the bid. Then Beckoning Savagely O'RHannibaugh were having a field day over Obama's win, of the Nobel Peace Prize. Boy I tell you, win or lose, these guys and gals just hate Obama, donchaknow. I actually heard excerpts from his acceptance statement played on, of all places, Limbaugh's show. Of course, Limbaugh was just taking apart Obama (he has destroyed America) and the Nobel Committee (just a bunch of European liberals who are thrilled with the destruction), as is to be expected from this very dangerous man who, it appears, unlike other propagandists, really believes the venom he spews. But I heard a tone in Obama's voice that I had never heard before, expressing total surprise, amazement, humility and a true resolve to do better. We shall see. It is a remarkable choice for the Nobel Comm., and totally non-traditional. The award usually comes for something already done, not for something that for the most part one might, hopefully, do. - Steven Jonas, MD Sat, 10 Oct 2009 12:54:46 +0100 http://www.planetarymovement.org/go/world-news/nobel-acceptance-by-barack-obama/#pc_493 Thanks for reprinting and sharing this. We need to support Obama and his effort for reconciliation and peace. - Entebbe1 Sat, 10 Oct 2009 06:53:35 +0100
