Has anyone else requested a 3rd option?
"I don't care if Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize"?
publisher clearing house: $10mil
nobel peace prize : $1.4mil
5 days ago, i would rather have won the nobel.
today, i would rather win the publisher clearing house.
what's so bad about 'peace, love and understanding?' from some of the comments, peace sounds like an evil plot. lol. what a crazy upside down world we are living in.
Actually it was "what is so funny about peace love and understanding". What?
War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength
The world is desperate for a hero. Nobel peace prize is a joke. Guy invents dynamite and is giving away peace prizes???
''by peace shall he destroy many'' hmmm, sound like the name and number of the beast is at hand. By the way, that quote comes from the prophetic reality, the truth is not a choice. Get ready for great tribulation as soon as these morons cry ''peace and safety'' resides in their new world order crisis management claim designed to offer you their temptation to sustain the lie.
**ALL MY POSTS ARE BEING BLOCKED** IS ZERO HEDGE BEING TAKENOVER BY GS CRONIES..
He is a narcissistic dark men, I spilled coffee in break room in October 07 when I saw this lipstick wearing con artist and said what a joke haha...
Little did I knew that everyone around me was so high in greedy with over inflated property and stock market that they had no sense left.
I go back to the old saying, great people make a country great...didn't needed to go any further to figure out, stupid me!
For helping US Service men and women and Middle Easterners "rest in peace!"
Approve, Nobel Committee did it for the lulz. Epic win.
That's the best analysis I've seen so far on it!
Otherwise I can't for the life of me figure out why they gave it to him. Maybe because he makes pretty speeches?
Some insight,,
Obama’s first appointments have confirmed the grimmest
suspicions about the new regime. The naming of the vicious thug Rahm Emanuel as the
new Martin Bormann of the regime has caused much consternation, even among the
netroots or nutroots crowd over at the Daily Kos. Rahm is a former member of the Israeli
Defense Force whose ruling passion is that he is a warmonger. In 2006, when Rahm ran
the Democratic congressional money machine, he made sure that only warmongers
committed to the open-ended prosecution of the Afghan and Iraq wars could get any
Democratic Party financing for their races. Many contests were lost as a result. A tragic
case was that of grass-roots antiwar activist Christine Cegelis of Ohio, who was defeated
in the Democratic primary by Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran who advocated
endless hostilities there. Duckworth lost to the Republican by several points. If the
$300,000 Rahm gave Duckworth had been shared with anti-war candidate Bob Bowen in
Florida, a Democratic seat could easily have been added. Rahm is also a product of the
filthy and corrupt Illinois bipartisan Combine, which I have described in my books.
A co-chair of the transition team is Valerie Jarrett, who served as Barky’s travelling
schoolmarm during the campaign. Jarrett also comes from the Daley wing of the Illinois
combine. She has provided graft and related support for Michelle Obama’s foundation-
funded operations. Jarrett is also an integral part of the Chicago housing graft
community, a region also inhabited by Barky’s original godfather, the convicted felon
and thief Tony Rezko. Jarrett is discussed in detail in my Obama biography. She is joined
on the transition team by John Podesta, a Clinton-era retread who worked for Sen. Tom
Daschle, the senator from Citibank, the biggest employer in South Dakota. Podesta also
worked for Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, a close personal friend of Weatherman
terrorist bombers Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
Another Daschle-Citibank retread is transition co-chair Tom Rouse, who was the chief of
staff for Daschle when he was the weakest Democratic majority leader in recent memory,
surrendering to Bush on point after point. Chief strategist remains David Axelrod of the
corrupt Illinois Combine, who was taught his mindbending skills in the infamous “1313”
Rockefeller-funded think tank at the University of Chicago.
BANKERS ONLY: NO VOICE FOR LABOR, RETIREES, SMALL BUSINESS,
WOMEN
Obama’s transitional council of economic advisers is also notable. The dominant figures
here are all Wall Street derivatives merchants and their quackademic apologists and
politician clients. The key people here are plutocrat Warren Buffet, Obama moneybags
and Hyatt heiress Penny Pritzker, Goldman Sachs-Citibank alum Robert Rubin, woman-
hating thug and failed Harvard president Larry Summers, Google spook Eric Schmidt,
and Roger Ferguson, the former vice president of the Federal Reserve board. The most
obscene is Trilateral Commission bigwig Paul Adolf Volcker, the bringer of the 22%
prime rate of 1981 and the destroyer of the US industrial base. What is truly notable
about this list is that there is not one single labor leader. No Sweeney of the AFL-CIO, no
Hoffa of the Teamsters, no UAW, not even the unsavory Andy Stern of the SIEU. Note
the difference to the New Deal, when labor reps were indispensable. With Barky, only
derivatives monsters need apply. Also notable by their absence are leaders of women’s
groups, small business associations, the congressional black caucus, retirees groups like
the AARP – there is not even a token face representing any of these groups, all of which
have a vital interest in economic policy. Read the ill omens if you have eyes to see. The
Obama regime is shaping up as of the bankers, by the bankers, for the bankers. This is not
the FDR New Deal – this is the Mussolini fascist corporate state.
WASHINGTON ECONOMIC CONFERENCE: THE DERIVATIVES BLOC VS. THE
ANTI-DERIVATIVES BLOC
We are also told that Barky has been on the phone to foreign leaders about matters of
economic. Let us read the tea leaves: whom did Barky call? Here is the list: Australia, the
British, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, and South Korea.
Notice now who is NOT on the list. Start with the great world powers who have been
snubbed: Russia and China, both of whom are bigger holders of US Treasury bonds than
most of those who are on the list. Saudi Arabia, who might have needed reassurance that
Barky is not a commie, are also snubbed. Forget ideology, and behold the ineptitude.
Most glaring of all is the lack of any phone call to a leading third world or developing
sector country, other than Mexico, which is a branch of NAFTA. No calls were made to
Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria, India or a long list of other leading
states. Nobody in Africa, nobody in south Asia, and nobody in South America got a call.
Not even those who will be coming to the pseudo-Bretton Woods conference set for
Washington later this month. The best we can hope for regarding that conference is that it
end in a stalemate, dividing the world between a US-UK dominated derivatives bloc and
a Brazil-India-Russia-China-South Africa anti-derivatives bloc interested in real physical
commodity production, not fictitious capital.
Obama, in summation, is acting just like the abject puppet of the Wall Street derivatives
merchants and warmongers which we have argued him to be.
OOPS,
The above by Webster G. Tarpley
I don't agree with all of it, but he exposes the false LEFT COVER that "O" Boy enjoys
Make no mistake, this is a Fascist State
Make no mistake regarding the support of the "progressive", i.e., "far" left for Barry O . . . previously dominant liberal political organizations such as moveon.org certainly are dead-in-bed with the O Man, but there is a simmering world of unrecognized disapproval among "the left" that stands to be mobilized against him in all policy areas.
Corporatist fascism is more than a tad offensive to folks whose innate leanings are more in the "socialist sympathizer" realm.
The most hopeful outcome I see on the political front is for the smashing of the two-party monopoly which has masqueraded as "democracy" for so long. Palin's crowd just needs a formal alternative to the Republicans (who can't win with her) and Nader an economic disaster that will galvanize his former supporters on the so-called Left.
Late to the party as usual.
When they say "peace and safety" , then sudden destruction shall come uopn them , as a woman that travaileth ( thats labor pains ) . Out of context , but fits the way the sheeple are thinking . O is not a man of peace , thats obvious . Neither was Gore . O wants more of my children killed in Afgahnistan . Peace is war , and war is peace . Tle lie will get bigger .

I've said it here before: Obama is the new Gorbachev, the smiling face behind the crumbling imperial façade, the personable, non-threatening loser. Gorbachev got his Nobel Consolation Prize in October 1990; a little less than a year later the USSR was no more and he was unemployed.
We are becoming a nation of whiners
with 20% unemployment and no prospect of a quick recovery people are looking for scapegoats. Blame anyone and everyone, be cynical about anything you see, it is the new American way. Now let's go teach the world this.
Yes, clearly the "Budweiser Summit" between Prez, the MA State Trooper and Henry Louis Gates made a very favorable impression on the commitee.
Much more impressive than anything Ghandi ever did. Stupid "salt march" and "satyagraha" campaigns. And wearing that ridiculous homespun diaper. What a f**king loser. No wonder he never won a Nobel.
It is the worst joke from European to American.
Barack Obama: He's just like us
-See Barack Obama make history as the first African-American to be sworn in as president.
-Here's a rare closeup view of Michelle Obama, who made it to the White House while keeping her family priority No.1.
-See photos of Barack Obama and his family as the Democrat made his historic run.

Michelle Obama may have white slave-owner ancestor
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/oct/09/michelle-obama-white-slave-o...
"The Obama campaign hired genealogists to research her family roots at the start of the White House race last year, though their findings have to this day remained secret. In his famous speech on race during the presidential race, Barack Obama said he was "married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slave owners". The White House has given no response to the new disclosures, on the grounds that the first lady's background is private...
Saidiya Hartman, author of Lose Your Mother: A Journey on the Atlantic Slave Route, said the news of Obama's slave and white forebears was a positive step."
Uhmm, folks, we should all be aware that most so-called Black Americans have Caucasian ancestors due to the sexual exploitation that was just one feature of the American institution of slavery. Ask yourself about the last names of most African-Americans you meet and you'll get the picture.
Ditch the cancel your vote (wtf?) option and always, always, and always have a pants option.
ie: nobody really cares option.

Obama Refuses to Meet with Dalai Lama, Wins Nobel Peace Prize
Apparently trying to piss off China with a boycott then appeasing China by refusing to meet with arguably one of the world’s most peaceful people, all while winning the Nobel prize is all just part of the job. I think we owe our diplomatic leaders a big round of applause.
I think it's a set-up.
me too, masonic style.
Any idiot could've won it coming after 8 years of the "I'm bombing innocent civilians in Iraq because they want to be free and Jesus told me to do it" moron.
Hmmm, lemme see...we're still in Iraq...the innocents are still dying...we're still in Afganistan...the innocents are still dying while we are about to send 10K troops(minimum) to look for a rag tag group that sucks worse than the VietCong....we still support governments that are trampling human rights(I'm looking at you Saudi Arabia, China, et al)....we're letting the biggest criminals in the world walk away(banks, institutions)...the innocents are still dying....
First, I want you to get MAD!
(looks like we got the first part...)
I don't even want to dignify the issue by voting.
I cannot accept reality any longer. It's a sham.
I am Chumbawamba.
Sooo........ The nobel committee decided Obama should have the peace prize at the beginning of the year.
The president of the 'PENTAGON', the American empire.
I dont get it, is it because he is going to accelerate the sinking of the U.S. economy?
Maybe the U.S. wont be able to afford nuclear weapons by the time Obama abdicates.
Gordon Brown should also get a peace prize, since his mismanged economy cant afford all its new nuclear toys. Perhaps all the bankers who are destroying the nuclear powered economies can get Nobel peace prizes.
Then the can repackage them and sell them as derivatives to the clowns on the Nobel Committee.
Like the voting is really a surprise?
Jeeeze, and what does it all matter anyway?
Wow, we're going to do this again, huh?
Guess, I'll stay away from Zero Hedge for awhile.
http://hopeychange.blogspot.com for my comment (which is more or less the same as most others - ridiculous !)
Can we please end the political raving. I'm a little surprised this is even a post here.
I approve: well he is the first black president in a country founded on black slavery...shouldn't all the people that voted for him get it?
I disapprove: What has he achieved? "Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has been honoring men and women from all corners of the globe for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for work in peace".
I mostly don't care...
You WILL praise your savior! Blessed be His name.
You need a vote for "I don't give a rats ass."
you beat me to the punch...
From a purely behaviroral finance standpoint, I wonder how skewed the results of this poll are being that you can cancel your vote. So if you see your vote was in the minority (and given that we exhibit herd like tendencies that would mentally presuade us against doing that). You would most likely just cancel your vote and either not vote again or vote again but in favor of the winner. Thus a random push one way or an other could completely sway the poll. I'm just sayin...
Very interesting point.
Perhaps we will remove the ability to cancel your vote.
Might be more interesting to count and display vote changes and cancelations...
It's only right... to keep it real.
based solely on that argument you have just made democracy obsolete and basically worthless ( although i think that was already done ). You make a great point; but my opinion is that people who read ZH don't give a shit what others think ( hence they read ZH )
+1
Democracy is not obsolete, just getting way too expensive to buy the result. Where a decade or so ago there was an affordable game of chess getting the deeds done and the deeds blocked rather than the checker games played with the real dictators that could be easily purchased. Ask Manuel Noriega about GHW Bush 41. He's got lots of time on his hands to talk.
The ‘Obama Doctrine”
A pre emptive action to award and worship based on potential future actions
Blah blah blah. What does it take to get people to wake the **** up? How surreal must it get?
Ring when you folks are ready to care of business.
The weekly C.W. Barron sketch that regularly graces the cover of Barron’s Market Week section shows a snowy bearded C.W. in suit and vest and soft brim Teddy Roosevelt safari hat looking straight out of the page through big round black-lens binoculars.
