   Jenn, I’ll call the Nobel Committee and have them send you the Peace of Crap Prize.

   Now, what prize do I get for making sure you get your prize?

    It is hardly fair to suggest that this fellow is a racist. Though it could be the best Nobel Peace Prize rap ever, because it might be the only one. Is it? Are there more?

    The facts remain unchanged, the awarding of the Peace Prize is not about Pres Obama, it is about the Nobel Prize Committee. What were they thinking? I question taking the recipient of a gift to task without examinnig the giver of the gift.

    Some guy likes a girl and gives her a gift. She has demonstrated no interest in him though he is interested in her. Whose motives should be questioned? The guy, or the girl?

    Moreover, in the video the person says Pres Bush cured AIDS in Africa and did not recieve a Peace Prize. Ummmm, no. Pres Bush did not cure AIDS, but he did provide a great deal of help in dealing with the situation of AIDS in Africa.

    Maybe it was said because it ‘flowed.’ And, that is not to say that Pres Bush did not merit the award. It is about facts. Yep, make a case, be funny doing it, but do not misrepresent the truth. It muddies the discourse and opens the position to easy dismissal.

    Yep, it is a fact that Pres Obama was in office for two weeks, and that does not change the fact that it was the decision of the Nobel Committee, and not the recipient.

    First off, it’s all perception. The rapper was merely using words to fit the meter of the “song.” When Gordon Lightfoot wrote “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” some of the lines are close to the facts, but not entirely factual. You go with it.

    Second, there is no AIDS epidemic in Africa. Read the piece by Rian Milan in Rolling Stone and the chapter on African AIDS in “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Science.” It was made up in the mid-80s because the directors of the health departments didn’t like President Reagan and conservatives. It was a blatant lie from the get-go. Now the American taxpayer is subsidizing sex education in Africa to stem a epidemic that isn’t real.

    No doubt.

    Though it is unhelpul to the discussion to use that word. Will someone believe it? Does repeated use of the word make it easier to use? Why suggest that others will say it is racist? Should one person say it, does it make it true for everyone that might be represented by that individual? It solicits emotions whether it is sarcastic, or not. Is it assigning motive and meaning that may, or may not, be true?

    Read this BLOG and you will see that race has seeped into the conversation and whether the comments are sarcastic, leg pulling, joking, or tongue in cheek it does have an impact and influences the discourse.

    I am not saying it is right, or wrong, just unhelpful.

    ok, I’ll play. Here is how. President Obama has created a mystique, carefully cultivated, for himself and his agenda. He can’t be separated from his kool-aid drinkers, because he’s the one who mixed it and served it. To then sit back and pretend he didn’t set the “movement” in motion is the height of passive aggressiveness.

    Hmmmm, because I did not acknowledge that he did not set something in motion, I therefore am protecting him?

    Let me get this right. With what I did not say, you are concluding that I am protecting Pres Obama?

    I did not say anything about our other 42 Presidents. Will you conclude that I am either protecting, or defending, any of them?

    Not sure about passive agressiveness, but you are definitely projecting, reading too deeply into what exactly was said, and reading/commenting on what is not written. Yep, you are making things up. And, since you raised the issue and provided psychological analysis – You are dellusional.

    Recall, the question was, how am I protecting/defending Pres Obama? The answer is, I am not.

    You are correct. However, when said girl accepts gifts from a guy in whom she has no interest she leaves those around her, watching the “process” with the following impression(s): 1. she is a gold digger/attention seeker who will readily accept gifts from someone whose interest she does not return 2. by accepting the gift she implies that she is in fact interested so she not only becomes a gold digger, but a tease as well.

    So, you are correct in that he didn’t ask for the award (although, c’mon, someone in his administration did), but having been given an award he didn’t deserve, the correct course of action would be to be thankful to the Nobel Prize Committee for their confidence in him but refuse citing those who are MORE WORTHY of the award.

    By choosing to accept the award on behalf of what he has yet to do, he has turned the award into not just a joke, which given the most recent recipients was already in play, and will undoubtedly make all attempts to cater to the committee vs making decisions for what is in the best interest of this country. You know the country…the one who elected him president under the guise that he would place our interests FIRST.

    They claimed they were following Mr. Nobel’s instructions and awarded the prize to the person who did the most to promote peace in the previous year. Then they cited the following reason for awarding the prize to Obama:

    Jagland singled out Obama’s efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.

    Isn’t it interesting that the things they cite as Obama’s accomplishments hopes and dreams all happened in the current year, after he became president and after the deadline for the nomination had passed. If the Nobel committee had any integrity, they would all resign for violating their own rules.

    How about Obama man up and present it to the former Chinese student who lost his legs from a tank @ Tiananmen Square? Or the families of the Iranians who were slaughtered by their own government for protesting the rigged election? Or maybe to our military?
