Current Mood: annoyed

My reaction is still "fuck, YEAH"

1. I doubt I can put into words how ecstatic the Nobel thing makes me. I sort of feel like I won the lottery, I guess.

2. Sadly, my utter, insane glee is diminished by the 90% reaction of "he doesn't deserve it". FUCK ALL OF YOU. With a rusty fucking chainsaw.

YES, THAT.

Also, if one takes the steps of actually reading the website (OMG READING NOES!), it's clear that the voting and consideration of candidates continues through August. They didn't pick him in February as everyone keeps harping.

I have to admit, I was a little taken aback when I first read about it, and I admit it was because I was thinking he's still really only starting out...

But then I thought about what he HAS accomplished so far, and I think that's actually part of the point. He's changing the global climate, and I almost see it as the world saying: "What you're doing now? KEEP DOING IT."

Hope is a good thing to encourage. :)

Hope is an incredibly good thing to encourage. We don't get enough of it.

Blatantly stealing this and posting it on Facebook. Too many haters there.

Be my guest. I write to be read.

This would be why I've avoided all news about this.

Dude, Nobel Prize. Still awesome.

I keep breaking into ridiculous grins. OMG MY PRESIDENT!

In support of your glee, I offer rampant silliness. (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3430/3995156109_3c1178c44a_o.jpg)

*SNORTS* :D

Bwahahahahahah. Yes. (OH, NASA)

The whole BOMBED THE MOON thing is going to make me laugh for days.

NASA IS MY FAVORITEST THING EVER.

LOL!

ROFLWAFFLES

*nearly falls out of papasan laughing*

That's just so wrong it's goes all the way over the horizon and back to right. Kind of like Klatchian coffee... ; )

That was my first though too :P

I think that most of the sane questioning done, by which I exclude those who'd still bitch if he cured cancer, eliminated poverty and restored full employment, is that he hasn't done enough to deserve it. I've also heard most of those statements ended with the important word "yet".

Which shows an amazing amount of honesty and the understanding of how important this prize actually is.

uhuh. Are these people part of the Nobel committee? No? Then they can stfu and stfd.

*chokes* I should have expected one of those.

:DDDDDDDDDDD

Bwah!

Nicely played. :D

HA! &hearts

*thumbs up* It's so good to see SOME positive reactions to this, for frak's sake! Can we bask in the prez/national pride just a little before wringing our hands about how he hasn't Done Anything? (Besides, you know, actually bring more goodwill and reasonable goals to the international table than the US has offered in almost a decade? Besides that?)

I am still incredibly incoherently gleeful on the subject.

I think this is great. I have not read or seen any news...I do not do that LOL! I posted my thoughts...I think he has so much potential.......for ALL of us.

:)

Whoot! =D

Oh, but, you know, it only counts as 'doing things' if he has personally aided Rich White Americans. The rest of the world doesn't count.

Also, clearly, he should be able to fix overnight what it took Bush EIGHT YEARS to fuck up. Yep.

*punches the haters in the face*

Right there with you. And I gladly opened up a can of ~~wank~~ debate on my LJ saying much the same thing. You're right in that a lot of contentiousness about the whole thing is "OMG, he hasn't done ANYTHING yet"... except, y'know, he kind of HAS. (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/10/9/791412/-30+-Reasons-Obama-deserves-the-Nobel-Peace-Prize)

So not to worry. I've got your back. : )

Whoot! =D

eta: I need a bigger vocabulary. BUT OMG.

I love your opinionism (word) Lyssie......all these years stalking you LOL!
I posted my thoughts ...you probs do not see that. I do not intend to be controversial...just my own thoughts. I saw it on-line and then chose NOT to listen to the 'News' as a previous comment said. I like to think about things and make my own mind up...right or wrong.

I choose in life to act this way..I do not write what I do not live. I should probably message and ask you things I do not understand.

I like his principles, goals, vision, his politics, intellect and his ability to realise the bigger picture. I just feel this prize is for the wrong reason. I feel it detracts from him.
Personally I think it has been awarded to him for something the world is guilty of. Prejudice. NOW they feel smug. SHAME on them.
He....... I am pretty sure will deliver. BUT give him a break and let him make his mark. THAT will be his measure. One which he makes himself..

Sorry for rambling..just a bit conflicted/happy/irked LOL!

I was surprised he got it this year, but not arguing that he deserved it, and I'm very impressed by his reaction to it.

Go him, especially if he can build on everything he's done so far.

This what I think about all awards. There are people who do the choosing - they think they had enough reasons to chose him and so he gets the award. There are several billion more people in the world - it's pretty obvious some will not agree. The unhappy are always more vocal then the satisfied. The comments about Literature Prize haven't been much better as far as I saw.

I'm just afraid that this will make it harder for him - the pressure to do something of great historical importance has already been overwhelming. This however great day for USA. It shows how he managed to change the world's attitude towards your country. And how much his policy is seen as a great, positive change by the world.

o.O He's going for that sort of lazy whiteboy George Michael 80s thing. o.O WHAT IS WITH THAT HORRIBLE SHIRT?

You're welcome!

I disagree, but, um, non-violently. (No power tools will be used to express my disagreement.)
