That’s is a great day for humanuty…
just like the election day,this day will be notified in my calendar for my future children.
I’m witnessing history.I’m so glad to be born to see all this achievement.
Barack u just have the name of my first born child.
GOD BLESS HUMANITY

WOW! That is a huge honor. I’m sure Martin Luther King, Jr. is somewhere in heaven smiling.

Iam Happy for Him!

This decision was out of the blue, but I’m really glad he was chosen. As usual, people have started complaining already, saying he hasn’t been president for long enough (2 weeks by the time he was nominated). The prize isn’t for being president, it’s for bringing so many different people together worldwide.

OH I KNOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WAKING UP MAD AS HELL ABOUT THIS TODAY! KEEP GIVING IT TO THEM PRES. OBAMA. I LOVE IT! MAKING HISTORY DAY AFTER DAY.

i’ve been hearing the debates all morning, but i’ll say this & leave it alone. as someone stated above this is a huge accomplishment & i’m wondering what he has done so far to deserve it…keep in mind he’s in the likes of people who made CHANGES to america - the world, etc. i like obama, but i’m confused by this.

.

so great!!!!!!! congratulations!!!!!! he’s the man!!!

congratulations Mr. President

@ 9 if you really don’t know what CHANGES Pres.Obama has made then you need to do some research (and not by watching TV). Learn him.

I love you Barack!! Congratulations!!

“his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”

That’s what the Nobel Peace Prize is all about. I guess some people don’t understand what this award means. Some of you would rather brag about someone winning a grammy. Smh.

@9 Hunny, the world has been at our throat for the 8 years Bush was in office. This man came and united cultres and peoples all over the world and basically turned our image around in a short amount of time, which in turn will be the offset for disdain, terrorism, etc. in the future if he keeps it up. Whether people agree or disagree, you live here, and he’s your President, so it’s a positive reinforcement on your country. Get a clue.

i think Obama made contributions outside of the media, which lead him to win the Nobel Prize. That’s a huge honor in itself to be on the podium next to Gandhi, King..etc.

Congrats to President Obama!! he definitely deserves it.

Thank You Concreteloop for being a classy blog and not lumping this post with dumb ish like Lil Mama and Robin Givens. You are smart enough to give it, it’s own merited post and story!!! Love this blog!!

Congratulations President Obama,

You are putting the foundations in place for World peace, Inclusiveness amongst other things

(UK)

Yes!

Congratulations! They don’t want you to have it, but God allowed you to have it anyway. Congratulations!

i’m like the ONE or TWO other people on the board, ….howwwwwever, my first thought was that he’s hasn’t been President that long… but Congrats nonetheless…definitely an honor!!

wait. was it michael kyle or that little boy who sounded like that?? LMAO. oh well. ya’ll know what i meant!

Who’s next? Beyonce?
Absolutely ridiculous decision.

You think of the Nobel Peace Prize and you think of Martin Luther King, Mandela/De Klerk, Mother Theresa, Gorbachev, Walesa, Amnesty International etc.

And now Obama? It makes no sense.

Ig f they are so sure he will bring peace to the World, why not wait a few years ’til he’s actually done it; then give him the Award.
Makes sense, no?

@ 23, no! did you actually read the statement as to why he was awarded? doesn’t sound like, the nobel peace prize is about more than what meets the eye. obama has done a whole lot already and he as achieved many things already too. one of the most important ones is the image americans have internationally. people actually speak of americans without rolling their eyes, something that was hatrdly seen during the bush era.

he deserves it alone for restoring millions of peoples faith in democracy, making politics “cool” and interesting for young people, bringing people hope. eventually that’s what all the people you mentioned did, they brought hope to the lives of the people…

CONGRATS Obama!!!!

Congratulations Mr. President!!!!!! He keep the media having something to talk about. He has broken down so many barriers and uoryoung children need to see that anything is possible regardless of where you come from and your circumstances.

Are you blinded? This is so premature for him to be getting this award. This award was not based on concrete achievements. How can you get an award like this for future initiatives???
The votes for the Prize were due February 1st. He didn’t become president until January 20th…….Come on now
I voted for barack obama and everything but now I just don’t know……..whatever

folks are ignorant and say anything. He was awarded the prize because of what he accomplished, which was being the first Black person to be elected to the highest office in the land. That’s the accomplishment, not necessarily how his presidency goes over the next 4 years.

MVEX, if you believe that, then fair enough.

But the majority of the right-thinking world finds that to be esoteric reasoning.
You can spin it however you want to but Obama could not even broker peace between Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. James Crowley.

So if he failed to inspire two American citizens to make peace, it is beyond foolishness to say he has restored faith in democracy to the rest of the World.

He’s trying to make peace with the Muslim Nation and even the Muslims are calling this a joke………

GO HEAD OBAMA! I AIN’T MAD ATCHA!!!

Let me get straight. A man like Michael Jackson doesn’t recieved a Nobel Peace Prize but Obama who hasn’t done anything gets one???

C’mon as much as I like Obama this is BS!

Keep doing what you’re were voted in to do…congrats!!!

He is at least trying to bring Peace amongst the world which is a good thing. Congratulations are indeed in order to Mr. President. I however wish we had peace in our own country, peace with the Democrats and Republications so they can get ish done this year. One thing I like about the Pres is he wants to talk first the former just wanted to go to WAR and ask questions later.

@STEUPZ…the fact that he even ATTEMPTED to bring peace between the two is what’s noble if you’re going to use that as an example. MLK led a march that indirectly turned out to be the opposite of what he preached; VIOLENT. So is he too unworthy of receiving the Nobel Peace Prize?

*ROUND OF APPLAUSE* Love you Obama

@Steupz….I believe OBAMA has won that award for not only himself and his actions but also for the ppl you named as well. I think ppl dont need to wait on him to commit to what you feel he hasnt done yet, I believe ppl are already expecting him to do whats right for our country because of what he stands for period.

I love my president. I really do but this decision totally came from left field. He hasn’t done nearky as much as his nobel peace winning counterparts. Agree with whoever said they should have waited a few years….

Trina, don’t use MLK in that ridiculous context. Just make your point and I’ll read and appreciate it.

Congrats to our great Prez and let the haters hate!!!!

Obama is deserving of this honor. It is not necessarily based on events that have occurred as a result of his presidency but the tone of his presidency. He conveys a message of equality and peace… he is not rash in making decisions but patient to ensure a solid outcome. Those who made the decision to give him this prize did so based upon certain criteria, and to judge the motives behind their decision is shoddy

Good job Obama, now you have to live up to this title. God bless you

and why would Michael jackson win this…he brought excitement to the world not necessarily peace. His music allowed us to break down certain barriers but it did not unite us as a nation. Though I do love him.

@STEUPZ….for you to even imply that Pres Obama isn’t deserving of the Nobel Peace prize because “he failed to inspire two American citizens to make peace” is ridiculous so one ridiculous context for another? so be it.

I would like to Congratulate President Obama on his this wonderful award. So proud of him!

Maybe it was all Obama’s radical and communist friends/Czars who nominated him.
Bill Ayers
Jeff Jones
Van Jones
Acorn
Apollo Alliance
Weathermen
North American Man/Boy Love Association - sorry I just had to throw this one in, LOL
I’m sorry everybody but I too got caught up in the Obama era but as I did my research and started listening. I now wish I could take my vote back. Everybody do your research!!!!!!!!!!!

The difference Trina is, mine was intentional.

@38, very, very well said.

@Stanley, ok we get it pa you dont like him…ok next! lol

@ STEUPZ no difference:)

Not raining on his parade or anything, but….c’mon…this is somewhat of a groupie decision. He really hasn’t DONE anything. If the Nobel Peace Prize is about rewarding EFFORTS then they should have a lot more awards to pass out and effort is not a completed action. In everything that he does he is watching out for America, not humanity. But what else can I say? He already has the award now. Make the most of it I guess. Congrats on the accomplishment

Im SOO HAPPY for Obama!! Congrats mr.President! Keep up the good work!!!

Nobel Peace Prize…for what?

Nobel Peace Prize…for what? I wasn’t aware that you could win such a prestigious award for “attempts” at bringing people of different cultures together.

GO OBAMA!!!!

@Stanley Parrish, I agree with you. I don’t think people do their research. If they did, they wouldn’t be saying all that they are. I am reallyyyyy confused on why he won. I think we should ask some questions and dig deeper. And I mean DEEPER!

HELL YEA!! Congrats Mr. president!

..they just GIVIN those things out now huh?

SMH, unfortunately our on people are own worst enemies. Why cant we support our ppl for acchieving what soo many of our great historians fought after? Recognition, acceptance and RESPECT. It baffles me how ppl love to seek out the negatives vs the positives.

*typo* I meant to say..

unfortunately our own people are our own worst enemies. Why cant we support our ppl for acchieving what soo many of our great historians fought after? Recognition, acceptance and RESPECT. It baffles me how OUR ppl love to seek out the negatives vs the positives. Its like we truly hate to witness each other succeed and prosper. sad indeed.

Congrats to my president! He brings HOPE and he inspires, and althought many will say he doesn’t deserve this honor….. it still speaks volume and sets the tone for the journey ahead. I can only uplift my prez for his great accomplishments present and future! His message of hope is undeniable, and it resonates arcoss the globe!

get it Mr. President!!!!!!!

The greatest and BIGGEST change Obama has done for this country is ONE being elected our first BLACK president(giving inspiration to many blacks that feel that was a dream that will only be witness in movies or on tv). TWO..HE HAS OPEN DOORS for many blacks that may have felt they would never be in such a HIGH resepected position as being PRESIDENT. And last but not least BRINGING ALL PPL together that I believe no one other then MLK had the power to do, thats a huge and tremendous accomplishment that alot of ppl especially BLACKS obviously are beginning to forget.

wow! i think this is wonderful! glad to see this post today…. Congrats Mr.President

Black Glamour, why are you introducing race to the discourse. It’s a clear disagreement among us.

Many of us say he has not achieved anything that even hints he ought to receive this honor. And many of you says we are under-appreciating and discounting the hope and future he has brought and inspired.

Simple.

IM WITH YOU 23 YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE IT TO OSAMA BIN LADIN, REV. WRIGHT, AL SHARPTON, JESSIE JACKSON, HELL OJ SIMPSON, BART SIMPSON. LMAO

IM WITH YOU 23 YOU MAY AS WELL GIVE IT TO OSAMA BIN LADIN, REV. WRIGHT, AL SHARPTON, JESSIE JACKSON, HELL OJ SIMPSON, BART SIMPSON. LMAO

@#54, i couldn’t agree with you more. my co-workers and i were just talking about this same thing, black folks are are own worst enemies. you should see how sandrarose tears this man apart every chance she gets. you should see what what she said about him winning the prize. she only posted what the negativity the white folks had to say about him.

Congrats Mr. Obama!

If the Nobel committee feels he deserves this award then I’m all for it. LOL @ people thinking their ignorant OPINIONS carry any weight.

Does anybody really understand the value of this award? I don’t think it holds much. Its no different than Taylor Swifts’ MTV award.

Let him have it…it seems to appease some of you.

Pres. Obama said himself that he feels undeserving of this award. Compared to those before him, I think he is too. He has the next 3 years or so to do something that’ll warant him being closer to deserving it.

You know.

I really don’t understand what’s confusing about this. The man is greatness. Period. Isn’t the Noble Peace Prize for Greatness?

The haters can froth at the mouth cause its already done. Obama’s legacy continues to show no bounds and only deepen. A hundred years from now he’ll be the one that is talked about not the people ranting behind Internet Anonymity.

applause @ MOJO!!

1) You guys are acting like Obama asked for the award it was given to him.

2) Congratulations Obama

3) @ 38 What, to your question why Michael Jackson should get a Nobel peace prize, I dunno??? Maybe b/c he was the most charitable pop star donated to over 39 charties (which is documented in the Guinness World Records), Created songs to raise poverty awareness ” We are the World” set up a Scholar Ship for the United Negro Fund, Established the heal the world foundation, donated tickets to underprivileged children held concerts where all the proceedings went to Childhelp USA. Yeah the list Goes on just throwing that out there. Nobel peace prize is not only about uniting US Nation but the world.

They would have done better giving the award to Oprah Winfrery as she done more things for cultural and people than Obama! And if anyone has to question why someone like MJ wouldn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize they are sad.

Just because your last award was from 1st grade don’t mean he can’t get his.Get it Mr. President!And he won for the Peace category people.Damn.He’s been doing shit way before he was president.Research.

I just Luv it!

Presiden Obama is decent and well-intentioned but the Nobel Committee should have allowed enough time to pass so as to be in a position to assess the impact of his peace initiatives.
