Is this the real reason Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize?
THE NOBEL PRIZE TO OBAMA: EUROPE'S BID TO RE-COLONIZE AMERICA By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN Published on DickMorris.com on October 9, 2009 Whether it was rewarding Jimmy Carter for criticizing the Iraq War or supporting Al Gore in his crusade against global warming, the Norwegian Parliament - which chooses the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize - has sought to use the award as a political tool to influence American politic s. Its prestige and moral power make the prize a potent weapon with which to help steer the direction of the colossus beyond the seas that controls a quarter of the world's economy and most of its military power. Now, the Norwegians have weighed in to support Barack Obama in his bid to reshape America so it looks more like, well, Norway, or at least like Europe. European socialism cannot succeed without conquering the United States. If the European Union has high taxes and the US keeps its levies low, business and brains will flow to America. If the EU's labor standards require long vacations, high benefits, and proscribe layoffs and ours' do not, employers will migrate across the ocean to do their business in the States. If the Old World curbs ambition by taxation, regulation, and social opprobrium, the ambitious will flock to the New World as they have done for four hundred years. So, Lenin was right. Socialism cannot exist in just one country - or one continent. It must dominate worldwide or wealth and power will flow to those who remain committed to the free market. Europe realizes this reality and it makes Obama's election as president of the United States all the more welcome. The Nobel Prize is really Obama's payback for disciplining the unruly United States and taming it to be a member of the European family of nations. Europe wants to reverse the American Revolution and re-colonize us and it sees in Obama a kindred spirit willing to do its bidding. Does the United States let its entrepreneurs run wild, coming up with fanciful new ideas and making billions from them? Obama will regulate and subdue business just like they do in Europe. Do U.S. businesses compete by slashing prices, aggressively pursuing markets, and jockeying for market share? Obama will make them behave themselves and stay in line just like European companies do. Do Americans work hard and push aggressively to make as much money as they can? Obama will raise taxes, emphasize community values, and narcotize their ambition by offering government largesse. And does the United States still believe in a sloppy, contrarian democracy in which ordinary people can directly affect their government, states have powers, and courts can reel in executive authority? Obama will use his rubber stamp majority in Congress to pass new laws regardless of public opinion and make us obey. In foreign policy, is the United States still willing to stand up, alone if necessary, to protect human rights in Bosnia, in Iraq, and in Afghanistan? Obama will curb this unruly independence and mold it within the fabric of appeasement that has dominated Europe for the past half a century. All this heavy lifting, this conversion of America into a European state, deserves a reward. And what is a more fitting one than to give Obama than the Nobel Peace Prize? He obviously doesn't deserve the award for economics or, given his health care ideas, for medicine. But the Peace Prize expresses Europe's longing: to take back the nation its overly ambitious and uppity children founded.

No. This article is total nonsense. There is no rational reason for Obama to win. The only explanations are not rational ones: The committee hate Bush The committee thinks Obama is "historic" becase he's black The committee was on drugs Obama bribed the committee Something more along these lines.

no this is why 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."

Today President Barack Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Obama has "created a new climate in international politics,", referencing Obama's efforts to reduce the world's nuclear stockpiles. I think this is also a strong repudiation of the Bush presidency, a tip of the hat for preventing a bombing of the Iranian nuclear facilities, and his stopping the Bush plan to put missile batteries in Poland and the Czech Republic.

This is undoubtedly one of the most stupifyingly idiotic things I have ever read.

Its probably a cover up for 911.
6 :
coz he was black
7 :
For sure the US population is slowly growing to be an unruly out of control population all wanting something for nothing. It is sad. I think they have the title Liberal becaue it sound better than unruly out of control.
8 :
Just my opinion, but I just think its because he's the first black president. thumbs up if you think the same way.
9 :
I'd call this a paranoid rant. On the other hand, if it's valid for the U.S. to try to influence policy in other countries by use of military force, there's no reason to think it would not be valid for other countries to attempt to influence the U.S. to promote world peace.
10 :
Maybe, anything is good game since he didn't actually deserve it. My guess, though, is he won it because he is a black president.
11 :
No, all that copy and paste for nothing... The main reason he won is that the prize has been used in the as a means to give momentum to a set of causes. They basically want Obama to keep his word.

This really hits the nail on the head: "European socialism cannot succeed without conquering the United States. If the European Union has high taxes and the US keeps its levies low, business and brains will flow to America. If the EU's labor standards require long vacations, high benefits, and proscribe layoffs and ours' do not, employers will migrate across the ocean to do their business in the States. If the Old World curbs ambition by taxation, regulation, and social opprobrium, the ambitious will flock to the New World as they have done for four hundred years." Or should I say the Final Nail in the Coffin of the U.S.A.

No, Obama won the Nobel Peace prize because the Nobel Prize Committee thought he was worthy of it.

I dont think this is the reason. European state,most americas have there roots in europe, why do you think europe would do such a thing like that in order to take the united states.
23 :
If the Norweigans think Obama has "tamed" us, they (and Obama ) have a rude awakening coming. At no time in my 62 years have I seen anti-European sentiment this high in this country. The Norweigan Parliament just proved to some of us that Obama is nothing more than their little political pet. The Obama disciples will be delighted over this award, the rest of us will see our worst fears about him confirmed.
24 :
They gave it to him as a WAG THE DOG trick. They're LAUGHING behind his back
25 :
Very good article! I for one don't want to because a EU country. There is a reason we are the biggest, strongest, most powerful country in the world. If we adopt the socialist policies of Western Europe we take a step in the wrong direction. So embarrassing. What would our founding fathers think? Oh and if you're uncomfortable being the biggest kid on the block just want and see how you feel when you're not.
26 :
Dick Morris is quite a thinker and he has been on both sides of each party. I feel that globalism's reach is the reason the Obama is the president. The question is will the people of this country wake up and save the nation before it is too late? I think the unionized public schools and liberal universities have so indoctrinated the younger generations that it is indeed too late.
