Hey stupid. Your comments shows your lack of knowledge regarding international affairs or relationships. First, America- not Bush- has had a long standing relationship with the Saudi's (of which osamas family comes from)and it's all because of oil. After 9-11 it was expedient to NOT have anyone "related to" osama in this country, it was a political decision that was made by the white house staff and not Bush per se. Secondly, I am not a republican, I am a constitutionalist. Partisan politics today are for idiots who aren't smart enough to understand thier constitution and think for themselves. I think both parties suck and have no respect for any president since Ronald Reagan. (go ahead and jump on that one) I am a veteran who proudly served my country to protect people like you and so did George Bush. That may be the only thing he and I have in common but your president barack osama is a dangerous man. Immediately following the recent murders of 13 service men and women with the wounding of 31 more in Texas, did you hear your presidents remarks? He said "First, i dont think we should make this out to be more than what it was!" Are you freaking kidding me? This was an islamic terrorist act that took the fathers and mothers away from a lot of little innocent babies. osama obama is an islamic sympathizer who has no business leading this country. screw the dems and the repubs and impeach this idiot who you call president!

you are the dumb one kid, grow up and try to break free of the republican hold those idiots have on you. Yes, bush and bin laden's family were business partners, ... Even when all air traffic was halted after 9/11, bush had Bin Laden's family flown out of the USA. LOOK IT UP before you try to deny it!

Hey judge by friends, do you really believe that George Bush and Osama Bin Laden are friends and business associates? Boy, you are dumber than a box of rocks!

Le Duc Tho was awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize with Henry Kissinger for their roles in brokering a Vietnam cease fire at the Paris Peace Accords. Citing the absence of actual peace in Vietnam, Tho declined to accept. Being Vietnamese Americans did not think that much of him winning the prize but being the egotist he is Henry did not let the lack of peace interrupt his party.

Jean Paul Sartre waved off the 1964 Nobel Prize in Literature. His explanation: "It is not the same thing if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre or if I sign Jean-Paul Sartre, Nobel Prize winner. A writer must refuse to allow himself to be transformed into an institution, even if it takes place in the most honorable form."



Afraid of Soviet retribution if he traveled to Stockholm to claim his prize, Boris Pasternak declined to accept the 1958 Prize in Literature, which he'd earned for Doctor Zhivago. The Academy refused his refusal. "This refusal, of course, in no way alters the validity of the award. There remains only for the Academy, however, to announce with regret that the presentation of the Prize cannot take place." Yevgeny Pasternak accepted the prize on behalf of his deceased father in 1989.

Keep your eyes open in December for the meeting in Copenhagen re. Global Warming/Kyoto Protocol/Carbon Emission Reduction. This is the one single moment when the US can lose its national soverignty if Obama signs the agreement. This dear friends, is why Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize...an advance award for signing. This is the biggest "One World Order/One world Governance" grab in history. Have you not noticed that Bush 1 (George HW) who is a proponent of One World Governance has been singing Obama's praises? Be forewarned...there is no real differnce in the Democrat and Republican parties anymore. All the divisiveness is to keep us all out of the know as they march us off the cliff like lemmings. The White House acknowledged today that it controls the media with the exception of Fox. They don't even try to hide it anymore. Fox will soon be history so they are not worried. Welcome, Comerades!! (please note that the Mountain Press, like all small town papers, gets it's national news from the associated press who gets theirs from the White House...just repetition from the White House propaganda machine.

You should have judged bush by his friends then. He was and still is friends with bin laden. They were business partners.

Anyone who believes that obama is going to do anything thats in the best interest of this country is deluded and deceived! He is the consumate politician who only believes in furthering his own agenda. His friends are radical, socialist, progressive minded(not a good thing) and anarchists! He said judge him by his friends. I for one am doing just what he said!

but you make no mention of the idiot who started the war, and now you think obama should have a magic answer. Obama didnt deserve a prize for anything, but bush deserves dummy of the decade prize

Now that Obama has this fabulous peace prize, he can't seem to make a decision to either beef up the troops in Afghanistan or get out. That's what happens when the President compromises our country around the world. The world's opinion means more than our US soldier's lives in Afghanistan. I think we need to give hime the Oscar Meyer Weiner award. By the way, show me some proof of our receiving oil from Iraq...you can't because we haven't. Get your facts straight!

Promise & hope sounds much better to me than war for oil. You talk about change,... well, we sure got change when dubya was ignoring our constitution. I realize change for the better is something most republicans cannot comprehend, unless it means less money out of their pocket. I don't believe Obama has done anything to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, but at least he didn't start a war before the weapons inspectors were through.
