why did Obama get the Nobel Peace Prize?

So Obama won the Nobel Peace prize, my first thought was why, and luckily some news source asked that same question:



But still why?
Why give the peace prize to Obama, the world we live in at the moment is pretty messed up and Obama had the possibility of a Polish Missile Crisis open for over six months after continued Russian threats, not only that but funneling more troops into Afghanistan thus continuing Bush's first war and then saying "you gotta look at the history."



That is something that someone as ignorant as Bush would have said, but Obama has put himself forward as being a man who knows what he is talking about and at peace with himself, not an on edge psychopathic mass murderer who is sending tens of thousands of Americans to a desert country that has already buried several other conquering armies, sure he is trying to eradicate nuclear weapons but its not as if Russian president Dmitry Medvedev doesn't want that to be a reality.

Russian message clear: "Don't fuck with us"

With Bush continuing to piss off the world the new rising Russia has pretty much a simple message to the Kennedy like Obama, that is not to fuck with them, Russia promises to place short-range missiles on RussiaÕs western border if Washington proceeded with its planned missile defense system in Eastern Europe.

The same missile system that the US has been going to build in Poland since 2007 to defend Europe against missile strikes from countries like say Iran.

Oh wait!



That's right back in 2007 when Bush was trying to go to war with Iran over their alleged uses to develop a nuclear bomb (sound familiar?) President Putin who had been Bushes ally in the War on Terror since as far back as late 2001 visited Tehran and shortly after even delivered uranium to Iran, damn that guy rocked, you see it works both ways, if you're part of the Iranian nuclear program you'll need the uranium and if you're part of the Bush Administration it may give you some excuse for launching an offensive against a country that never provoked a war!

Russia even stated they would rather have Obama president and Obama has even stated this on the National Defence Missile System.

"I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending. I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems."

Now that's someone talking sense for once in the last eight years instead of threatening World War III.
