Thanks Obama!

[John Connor]

why dont you read the reason before you yap your dumb fucking mouth....

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

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 vision of a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be strengthened.

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. 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.

For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges."

Was this the medal that afforded Obozo the right to give Blowhard Biden a medal too?

No really...

Thanks for being our President the last 8 years...incredibly thankless job as it is. While I disagreed with you on many, many issues, I will applaud you on some as well:

- (Most of all) Handling of the financial crisis with the auto and AIG bailouts as well as recapitalizing the banks.
- Taking out Osama bin Laden.
- Expanding Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
- Helping South Sudan declare independence

Tough job for sure! Thanks. Wishing you and your family the best!

All...this thread is for expressing thanks only...and please keep it civil.

Don't forget being the most fiscally irresponsible president in US history by growing the national debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the course of 8 years.

He also spent nearly his entire 2 terms at war--weapon of choice: drone strikes, which have killed more innocent women and children than any other military program.

I voted for him in both elections. During his first term, I thought he was being treated unfairly by the Republicans. But within the first year of his second term, I finally saw the truth.

I'm beyond disappointed.

Thanks for not pulling a Rosie and declaring Marshall Law.

Thanks for inviting Black Lives Matter to the people's house.

Thanks for giving half a billion to the UN on climate change/global warming and not mandating all federal vehicles at least be electric, hybrid or run on NG.

Thanks for pardoning more prsion trash than any President before you.

Thanks for pardoning a terrorist.

Thanks for pulling the Cuba embargo despite Cuba's corrupt government and yet ban Cubans safe haven if caught here.

Thanks for playing golf while real shit need to be done.

Thanks for not doing anything to solve the Chicago murder rate on your own turf despite anti-gun laws.

Thanks for making Jeremiah wright your pastor for years.

Thanks for being chummy with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers.

Thanks for spending more money than all the Presidents combined.

Thanks for an affordable health care plan even though it's not affordable and to Jonathan Gruber for reveling the deception.

Thanks for investigating press reporters.

Thanks for the IRS scandal.

Thanks for leaving trash bags outside while the Dalai Lama walked past that shit.

Thanks for spending three hundred thousand dollars of tax payer dollars to oust the Prime Minister of Israel.

Thanks for Giving Iran a state sponsor of terrorism four hundred million.

Thanks for pardoning a traitor in the military.

Thanks for releasing terrorists from GITMO even though many went right back into the fight.

Thanks for negotiating with terrorists to bring a deserter home who's comrades died looking for his sorry ass.

So many thanks. I'll stop there. Hope & Change? That was a marketing gimmick for a populace who's entertained on a daily basis by lefist media shit. The slobbering love affair was rank.

Last but not least. Thanks for turning most of Congress red and many state governors red and flipping five states that voted for you twice to vote Trump.

Last, last, but not least. Thanks for the land slide.

I'm actually surprised at this.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Thank you for winning so many battles even though your own party and opposition party caused you to lose the war

 

[K1052]

Thanks Boss. One last time.

Edit - stolen from elsewhere but a good list

Incidentally, I saw Hamilton for the second time in Chicago last night. "One last time" was super hard to watch and the rest of the audience had the feels.

All this, and well said. Plus kudos for pushing for clean energy (our national CO2 emissions have actually decreased significantly) and helping to remove gay marriage as an issue. Equality in basic human rights should not be a political football. Now it isn't.

I can believe it.

It's an amazing show. Saw it last year on Broadway. Lucked into some regular box office tickets next summer so we're going again.

I'm not even that much into musicals but this feels like a seminal work of art that will reverberate for my generation.

 

[Sonikku]

I would love to see it myself, but ugh the $$$.

 

[colonel]

Thank you Obama for help the people in Main Street, and for the great speeches.

I like them and my wife loves them. A rap/hip-hop musical with a diverse cast about the founding fathers doesn't sound like it should work but damn does it ever.

Thanks President Obama!

You may want to rethink your values if you genuinely want a politician dead simply because they're not Republican.

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Thanks for your service to the US, you did a damned good job

 

[Sonikku]

If only he really was walking into the light................

Your hatred for Obama is so great that you wish he was dead?

No, but that massively photo shopped pic struck my bleak humor button.
