CONGARTULATIONS TO PRESIDENT OBAMA!

DO YOUR THING , & IGNORE THE REPUBLICAN HATERS!

They just want us as the world to make us question about him.. which they keep bringing upon him.. every step that he has done has been.. our we for it or against it.. nobody is letting Obama have a chance in office.. we as American people & the world are putting so many expectations upon him.. we need to focus on how we can fix these problems together not just President Obama.

its happened lets move on.. they want us to argue about him..

Sorry…It seems as though Obama’s Presidency is becoming more and more of a joke! Our soldiers are screwed!!

@blackisglamour, I completely agree with you, people always love the negatives and love to see people doing bad, but when something good comes there are always someone to rain on the parade….I digress and say now..Go Obama! You were not a top runner but when you are blessed and highly favored then all things seek you not you seeking it, for all those who know about it know that.

i like obama a lot but I don’t think he deserved this award. to put him on the same level as mlk as ridiculous. yes, he got elected. great, but this is the nobel peace prize award. i haven’t seen him do anything extraordinary that has fostered peace. someone mentioned that, for the first time since bush, people don’t roll their eyes at americans. is that really a reason to win this award? bush was a complete idiot that was handed his accomplishments (i.e. going to an ivy, being president) and people around the world hated him. he was such a low point that we could only go up from there- even if hilary was our president, the international community would have seen us in a better light.

i mean congrats to him but i’m sure even he knows he hasn’t accomplished nearly enough. i see a lot of people on this board stand by the decision yet have no concrete reasons as to why he should win it. please list something

I dont get it are black people suppose to support black people just because their black? No, I dont think so…. we cannot be afraid to speak our minds and question things. I dont agree with this award and I voted for Obama, I feel like its the Forbes list or something because they gave him top honor for intending to do something. The list of people he was nominated with was more deserving and the nominations for the Peace Prize was in February, which means he was in office for only a month when he was nominated. Obama cant even get American’s together, take care of home first!

Where is our $700 billion dollar at?

For people in here saying this President hasn’t done anything yet to deserve the award..I ask you this, WTF have you done with your life other then sitting on this blogsites all day judging others? Some of you dont even know what the Nobel Peace prize is for and what it represents. The Prize is not just about accomplishments but for people who had a dream that was larger then perception and worked towards that dream. Obama has done that. Regardless of what you think of his policies, one cannot dispute the impact his presence and election victory had on others here and abroad. For the past decade America has been frowned down upon…at least this Presidents presense has enstilled new hope…and in this atmosphere that is victory within itself. Then giving Obama the Nobel Peace prize is a slap in the face to Republicans who claim this President practicing diplomacy is not going to work. At least he is trying to make steps in the right direction.

It seems like a lot of misinformation is being spread in this thread.

First of all…What list of candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize are certain people referring to?? To my knowledge, the Nobel committee “does NOT release the names of any candidates and keeps records sealed for 50 years.” So for the people saying there are more deserving people on the “list”….WTH are you talking about??

Second and most importantly… AND I QUOTE…”More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments.” So for the people saying that he hasn’t accomplished enough to qualify for the prize, you dont even know what the Nobel Peace Prize is…He is receiving this prize not only for his past achievements (many) but also to encourage him to do the many great things he WILL do in the future.

@ #86

Ask Bush!

Why haven’t we heard anyone who has actually been awarded a Nobel award speaking out againg Pres. Obama being awarded his? It’s only the people who have nerver received one and will never be in a position to receive one who are speaking out against this man. He has been called for such a time as this. Pres. Obama continues to find favor with GOD in the midst of all the hate. This man is a brillian diplomat. Study how he has reacted to the haters and learn something.

Congratulations to President Barack Obama!! Please choose to ignore the negative coverage and BE INSPIRED to live a life of purpose and goodwill! Thank you Angel for making this the top story on your site!!

THIS IS MY FIRST TIME COMING ON CONCRETELOOP, AND I NEVER COMMENTED,BUT I WAS SO EXCITED FOR OBAMA I HAD TO TYPE DOWN MY THOUGHTS……..

IF YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH HALF OF THE THINGS HE HAS IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, THEN YOU TALK CRAP. BUT UNTIL THEN SHUT THE HELL UP. YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER, OBAMA HAS TO FIX EIGHT YEARS OF GEORGE BUSH’S FUCK UPS. HE WAS SUPPOSE TO MAKE US BETTER, BUT INSTEAD HE MADE US WORST. MY MOM WAS DAMN NEAR JUMPING IN THE LIVING ROOM WHEN GEORGE BUSH GOT ON THAT DAMN PLANE TO LEAVE. LET HIM PROVE HE CAN MAKE A BETTER CHANGE.IF HE DOESN’T THEN YOU THROUGH SALT AT HIM. BUT UNTIL THEN, BUT YOUR HATE ASIDE, AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE.

CONGRATS OBAMA!!!! WELL DESERVED…
MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK, MY BMW IS BLUE…LOL!

GOD IS WISE IN HIS WISDOM THAT HE CHOSE A LEADER WHOM HAVE COURAGE,INTEGRITY,STRENGTH,FAITH,KINDNESS,INTELLIGENCE,LOVE,CALM AT ALL TIMES AND COOL AS CAN BE,LOL. CONGRATULATIONS MR PRESIDENT TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, I LOVE YOU AND SO DOES SO SO SO MANY OTHERS.

Congrats Mr. Prez!

DANGER STOP HIDING BEHIND YOUR NAME, I KNOW UR WHITE. ANYWAY, PRESIDENT OBAMA HAVE DONE MORE FOR THIS COUNTRY THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT. BETCHA SOME OF YA AZZES WASNT COMPLAINING WHEN YOU RECEIVED THAT STIMULUS MONEY AND MORE MONEY FROM UR TAXES. NOT EVEN NAMING ALL THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT HAVE RECEIVED HELP. HE MORE THAN DESERVED THAT TITLE DANGERRRRRRRRR!!!!!! HE EARNED IT. SO YOU NEED TO SHUT THE HELL UP, GO TO UR OWN SITE BEFORE U BE IN DANGER OF HAVING MY FOOT UP UR AZZZZZZ!!!!

CONGRATS MR. PRESIDENT!!!

In honesty, the only reason he got the award is because he’s the first black president of the US, which is an accomplishment albeit not necessarily worthy of this award. However, I’m not mad about it because it’s not that serious, a bit surprising but whatever.
When I read these comments, some people place far too many responsibilities and expectations on Obama. I’m sure there are a number of reasons for this, but at the end of the day Obama is just a man. I don’t see how he’s proven himself to be any worse..so far…than the bulk of the other presidents and, likewise, I don’t believe he has proven himself..yet…to be any better. A politician is a politician and a man is just a man. I figure if he doesn’t make things worse while he’s president…job fairly well done.
Speaking of Obama, I saw him compared to Hitler on a local televised radio show today. Granted, I live in AL and I expected it but still…

This doesn’t surprise me at all. Notable figures in this society do not perform works to establish an image, their image is established so that they can perform their works. The Nobel Peace prize is an award received for loyal service. It has nothing to do with establishing “peace”, because the definition of “peace” to the elite is not the same definition that the average person might have. If you destroy the enemy, you have brought “peace”. Obama, like MLK, is a pawn and his job is to do his part in establishing ORDER, which is what “peace” is. The man has escalated the war in the Middle East, bombed Pakistan his first day in office, and has made no bones about his devout loyalty to the state of Israel (who’s intent is to destroy all opposition worldwide). This is why he received this award, the same way that MLK received it for being a pawn who brought his people under the influence of the white mainstream, or how Mandela agreed to sell out his people so that the white man could take control of the diamond mines in South Africa.

Although as a black man im proud to see another black person do something great, i think that a lot of people are confusing his achievements in becoming America’s first black president with his global influence. The Nobel peace prize is supposed to be won by someone who actually changed the way the world worked for the better, and unfortunately i dont think improving race relations in the US or the image of the US is enough. I have faith that in future he will hopefully live up to this, but for now i think that this award was premature and that there were probably better candidates who affected the world more positively.

This is a great thing, go head President!

Go Obama!

If you was living out of the States, you would understand why he got the Nobel Prize…

Dash, expound on that please. Im curious.

I really don’t understand what he did to even be nominated, much less, win this award. It’s great that we have a black president but so far, there have been ZERO results, so I don’t get this one little bit.

Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics. Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for resolving even the most difficult international conflicts.”

The committee added, “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.”

In comments at the White House on Friday, Obama said he did not view the award “as a recognition of my own accomplishments. But rather as an affirmation of American leadership. … I will accept this award as a call to action.”

The pressure’s on, Obama! This isn’t so much about what he has done, it’s about the world saying they support the direction he’s going in. He hasn’t served a year yet. All we can do is hope that as time goes by we’ll see his positive vision come to pass. God bless him.

Hope this answers the questions as to why he was awarded:

To those who questioned why President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” the committee said in its citation. “His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world’s population.

They could have gave that award to popeyes chicken, even flava flav, what a joke. Come on what a joke you international folks or maybe thats why Obama got it for change remember. lol

woooooow
thats so great
congrats
this like the biggest award ever
go OBAMA

I think it’s wonderful that our current president won this great award, but hes been in office 10 months, I think it’s a little soon for this prize! Al thought the US foreign policy is definitely on the up side, its no where near how it should be.

Why all these haters on TV. The man is blessed and its obvious god is with him and god really enjoys Obama cause he keeps getting blessed and others just don’t understand why. Get over it! What God has for him it is for him and no one can take that away from him. He has done enough for God to bless him with this award and God also see’s the future and knows that this Nobel Peace prize belongs to him.

i will win some day watch i’m going to change the world for the better

Congratulations to the President. A note to everyone, though: Take the black diamond wool off of your eyes. Take the black diamond wool off of your eyes. Take the BLACK DIAMOND wool off of your eyes.

Very proud of him. Shake the haters off and keep pushing right along.

I’M SHOCKED AND AMAZED AT THE PEOPLE ON THIS SITE SAYING THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE IS A JOKE AND OBAMA HASN’T DONE ANYTHING TO DESERVE THIS AWARD. I BELIEVE THOSE COMMENTS ARE COMING MOSTLY FROM BLACK AMERICANS WHO ARE UNEDUCATED AND ARE NOT AWARE OF THE GLOBAL IMPACT OBAMA HAS. YOU SHOULD REALLY TRAVEL MORE AROUND THE WORLD. THEN YOU MIGHT UNDERSTAND WHY HE WAS GIVEN THIS HONOR AND WHY HE IS IN FACT VERY DESERVING OF IT.

You know, I’m still waiting for Obama to do something and stop talking game! I didn’t vote for him because I had no confidence he could do the job, I didn’t vote and all because I did not believe in either candidate (first time I have done that since I gained the right to vote). It’s 10 months down the line and I have not changed my mind at all because there’s been nothing but talk. At the very least, could he not start bringing soldiers home? Every time I hear one of them has been killed I just SMDH!

WTF? HE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING

I’m about ready to have Obama’s love child.

Gobama!!!!!!

am i’m the only one thinking about snl

Even Obama himself has said, that he felt undeserving of winning the Nobel Prize and that he did not think that he won it because of his own accomplishments. And I agree with him, he was not deserving of this award,he had only been in office for 12 days,when he was first nominated for the award by the Nobel committee,and that`s not enough time to accomplish something major enough to win this award.

I get it,I understand why the international world supports and gave Barack this award,it`s because they like his long ass speeches,but when the inernational world starts to find out,like how many Democrats have, that Barack is not God and that all he does is talk and give speeches they will stop supporting him.

I think the committee will be more than happy that they gave him this award when he leaves office. Now is when you see all the people who were just on the Obama bandwagon this time last year, they really dont have any faith in him. I still think he will do a good job.

WHAT DID BUSH ACCOMPLISH GETTING A SHOE THROWN AT HIS A*** WHEN HE WENT TO ANOTHER COUNTRY

Congrats to Obama, I think. When there is world peace, you know the end time is very near. Read your bibles, its all coming true evermore these days. Read for yourself dont take anybody else’s word for it and stop relying on preaching and books about the Bible alone. You have to read The Bible day and night, for real, even if its one verse at a time. The best way to do so is read to a bible on tape or go to biblegateway.com and listen and read. It really drives it inward better and you read alot more faster. So sad that when a black president gets into office, the world has to end.

@LUVBug

I would like to see you try, go somewhere with that cyber thugging. Your panties are in a bunch over some opinions… GTFOH!

Some of you stupid ignorant black/African Americans are so ridiculous.
I as an African born am so proud of Obama, he was the first black president of the Harvard Law Review.He was a community organizer in Chicago before earning his law degree.He worked as a civil rights attorney in Chicago and taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004. And on top of all of his accomplishments, he is the first African/biracial/black president all roll into one.
So for some of you to say that he does not deserve this , is certainly without merit. Al Gore won for doing a documentary on global warming, i do not recall hearing people put him down for it. But some of you black Americans do not like to see yourselves in a positive light, unless it is acting the fool on the six o’clock news. I am guessing that Obama is too much of a positive influence in the black community, no sagging pants, no grills , no bashing in school kids heads etc. OBAMA KENYA AND THE WHOLE OF AFRICA ARE PROUD OF YOU, MUCH BLESSING FROM THE ANCESTORS.

YOOOOO! This is BIG. If winning the elections last year didn’t secure him a front-row seat in history books, this definitely will. Wow. Wow. WOW.

LOL @ 4, I love Katt Williams, he’s hilarious!

I agree w/ # 75, congrats to President Obama, but it’s a little premature to be awarding him the Nobel Peace Prize before he’s actually made some significant strides in achieving world peace.

I luv my President! If we work together & step up to help….we can make this MAJOR! Before you become skeptical about the president make sure you have done all you can to support & step up where you’re @! he can’t do it by himself….
Don’t be apart of the problem, be apart of the CHANGE!
He’s just been the Pres for 9 months, it took 8YEARS to get in this mess….

Congrats! This is HUGE! Well deserved, congrats to President Obama! Wow!

[gives obama a hi five!]

YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Congrats Mr. President! Sooo happy for him. He is such an inspiration to me and everyone!

Congrats to Mr. Prez!

I TELL YA, SOME OF U MOFO’ERS R SUMTHIN ELSE. U COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS, U COMPLAIN ABOUT THAT AND AS SOON AS A BLACK MAN BECOMES PRESIDENT, UR AZZES COMPLAIN ABOUT HIM. DIDNT HEAR YA COMPLAINING WHEN BILL GOT HIS DIC SUCCED, NAWWWWWWWW……THAT WAS FUNNY TO YA DUMBAZZES. GUESS HE DESERVED HIZ DIC WAXED, HUH? DONT GET QUITE NOW, CAN I GET A DAYUM VOWEL?

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!
———————————————————————————
YOU ARE SO RIGHT. MICHAEL JACKSON GAVE SO MUCH OF HIS MONEY 2 CHARITY, EVEN IN HIS WILL 20% WILL GO 2 CHARITY.

Congrats Mr. President! Let your detractors keeping talking that nonsense while you accept that Nobel Peace Prize.

I guess some people would rather want France President to be awarded instead??!!

Yay Obama!!!!!
Conrats!!.:)))
