Hello Dan,

 DC>> So... why then, did he win a Nobel Peace Prize?

 DC>> Are you SURE it wasn't just because he was the first black U.S.
 DC>> President?

 WD>> This is the justification of the Norwegian Nobel Committee...

[..]

 WD>> For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to
 WD>> stimulate precisely that international policy and those attitudes
 WD>> for which Obama is now the world’s leading spokesman. The
 WD>> Committee endorses Obama’s appeal that “Now is the time for all
 WD>> of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response
 WD>> to global challenges."

 DC> What a load of crap.  Complete and utter bullshit.

Yeah.  Right.  Like climate change is "complete and utter bullshit."

Many cities along the coastline of the US will be underwater
by the year 2100.  Some even before 2050.  If you want to visit
Miami, or New Orleans, better do it now.  Otherwise, you will
need to find some scuba gear ...

 WD>> Noteworthy is that the deadline of nominations for the 2009 Peace
 WD>> Prize was just 11 (eleven) days into Obama's presidency...
 WD>> Without getting into partisan politics, a lot of people agree
 WD>> (and I with them) it should not have happened. Therefor the
 WD>> awarding of the 2009 Peace Prize was not a consequence of
 WD>> achievement but on the contrary it was a sign.

 DC> Indeed.  Eleven days.  What a crock.

Obama had been nominated after he was elected, but before he
had taken office.  He was declared the winner after he had taken
office, not before.

 WD>> I underwrite the statement that Obama got the Peace Prize for
 WD>> nothing, while Trump (who also is nominated again) will never get
 WD>> it for anything.

 DC> Obama didn't get it for "nothing".

Hope and change.

 DC> He got it because he was the first (half)-black U.S. President.

Barack Obama refers to himself as being a *black* man.

 DC> No more, no less.

His mother was white.  His father was black.  He is black.

 DC> Pretty much diminishes the prestige of the award, especially considering
 DC> some of the more recent nominations.

Greta is white.

 DC> It's just a joke now.

The American people were not joking when they voted for Barack Obama.
Not the first time.  Not the second time.  And not the third time, had
they been given the chance.

 DC> Also, I don't think Trump has any business being nominated,
 DC> either.

He certainly had no business handing out the congressional medal
of freedom to Rush Limbaugh during the SOTU speech.

 DC> Oh, and for the slow ones in the crowd, my comments have nothing
 DC> to do with "racism".  They're just observation of facts, and no
 DC> sensible person can dispute that.

Barack Obama claims he is a *black* man.
Not white, brown, yellow, red, purple, green,
or any other color than *black*.
