Obama - "My Accomplishments Are Slight"

President Obama Accepts Nobel Peace Prize


U.S. President Barack Obama has accepted the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize with the acknowledgment that he is only at the beginning of his "labors on the world stage."

At the awards ceremony Thursday in Oslo, Norway, Mr. Obama said his "accomplishments are slight" compared to previous Nobel laureates such as Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela. He said activists who have been "jailed and beaten in the pursuit of justice" and humanitarians around the world are far more deserving of the honor.

The first-year U.S. president acknowledged the irony of accepting the Nobel Peace Prize as he prepares to send an additional 30,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan. He told the gathered dignitaries the war against the Taliban and al Qaida terrorist network was a conflict the U.S. did not seek - a reference to America's response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States.

President Obama said he acknowledged "the hard truth" that war will never be eradicated in our lifetimes.

The nightmare will start to end with the 2010 midterms when Dems get their clocks cleaned

As far as Obama and the Nobel prize, Obama didn't even "Accomplish" his full term in the US Senate before moving into the Oval Office.

Obama did admit he did nothing to earn the award - unlike his rabid supporters in the liberal media and who stand on the sidelines waving the pom poms for him

it will just be seen as Humility.

46. Announced nationalized health care “reform” that will strip seniors of their Medicare, cut pay of physicians, increase taxes yet another $1 trillion, and put everyone on rationed care with government bureaucrats deciding who gets care and who doesn’t. Bloomberg: Daschle says, “Health care reform will not be pain free. Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them,” while former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm says seniors have “a duty to die.” If this does not sufficiently raise your ire, just remember that the President, Senators and Congressmen have their own special gold plated health care plan which is guaranteed the remainder of their lives and they are not subject to this new law if they pass it.

Finally, Pres Obama admits the obvious, and is a huge understatement

If he thought others were far more deserving than he was, then he should've turned it down.................... Notice he accepted it anyway......

[Kathianne]

Like RSR's email, I think he's managed to accomplish quite a lot:

Why Are We Tiring of Obama?

The China Presidency

I have an heirloom china pitcher on my mantle that has dozens of glued cracks—so much so that it is now purely ornamental and will not hold water. When I was a boy I’d ask my mother when, and under what circumstances, did the china crack apart.

She would provide stories about each fissure and mend, many of the break narratives handed down to her from her own grandparents in the house. There wasn’t one single accident, but instead dozens that rendered a once useful pitcher into an non-functional art object.

Something of the same is happening with our President. He is experiencing the sharpest popularity decline in the history of first-year administrations. The problem is not just that he inherited a bad economy; Reagan did too. Or that the war in Afghanistan heats up, since it is not nearly as bad as the mess Nixon inherited in Vietnam.

Instead, after 11 months there has emerged a series of bothersome incidents that the public has come to associate with Obama, both the man and his philosophies. Some are major policy issues; others trivial acts of no cosmic importance. None in themselves matter all that much. Each gaffe or mistake was contextualized and mended, or attended to by Robert Gibbs. Some are Obama’s fault; others the work of associates. Sometimes mere chance is the culprit.

I know Bush had his own list of catastrophes; other Presidents did as well. Again, my point is not trying to adjudicate relative culpability, but rather just to remind us all how and why Obama dived over 20 points in the polls in just 11 months—and his speeches transformed from inspirational to caricatures.

In short, taken together, after nearly a year, these fissures have nearly ruined the once pretty texture of the Obama administration, and almost rendered it incapable of effective governance.

Here is a random selection. I provide no chronology or theme. Nor do I judge the relative importance of any one incident. The point, again, is only that each was a fissure, some small, some major—all were glued over. The result is that now the public understands that its china presidency is fragile and held together by mere glue.

Here it goes:

Constant apologies abroad for everything from slavery to Hiroshima...The list continues and continues...

Pres Obama - Much Ado About Nothing

[HogTrash]

What Obama meant to say was "The damage I have done to America is slight compared to what lies in store for you suckers".

Yes it really is a shame when ya think of it isn't it, and yet with all this to show for his first year in office there are still those that support him, liberals are a bright bunch aren't they
