There's nothing that can be said for Obama, but the moon shot was a legitimate experiment to search for ice buried beneath the surface of the moon.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory?id=8790606

It wasn't a missile shot, it was a previously used rocket stage, crashed on purpose to propel subsurface lunar material into space so that a second following craft could read and measure the make-up of the expelled material.

The hope is that if ice is discovered, it would facilitate long term manned presence on the moon, using the hydrogen for fuel, and the oxygen for breathing.

As much as I agree with your sentiment, "this country" has nothing to do with Prezbo winning the NPP. The NPP committee consists ofleft leaning, socialist, gun hating, "America shouldn't be stronger than us" Europeans. Is it any wonder that he won the same award as AlGore andJimmuh Carter? Not to me.

And don't forget, he had to nominated before February 1st to be eligible, less than two weeks after taking office. More interesting to me will be to find out who nominated him.

In the future, please gather some facts before placing blame, in this case "this country".

They slammed a piece of metal into the moons surface. It penetrated 4 to 8 METERS into the moon. That's about 12 to 25 feet deep.

Saying that he "blows up the moon" is like saying a plane crashing into the ground is "blowing up the Earth".

Obama had absolutely NOTHING to do with the moon mission. It has been in planning, engineering, development and production for over 9 years.

While I am certainly no fan of Obama, you are wrong about this one.

I want to know what in the hell Obama has done to even be nominate, let alone win, a Nobel Prize?

I thought this was an award for doing something that contributes to peice. It looks to me like he has done eveything he can to start a war, which may come yet.


This Nobel Award thing has become nothing more than a circle jerk for A-holes.

I heard on the radio today (don't remember which show, sorry) that he was not awarded the prize for anything that he has actually done, but rather for what is expected of him!
What kind of BS is that?
Since when do we give prizes before action?

He was nominated TWO WEEKS after he assumed the office he now occupies... All he did before that was apologize to other countries for all the bad things the US had done around the world while he was campaigning.

:cuss::banghead::idea::cry::X:?

What kinda sillychit is THAT???

He had absolutely nothing to do with the Nobel either, but why let either fact get in the way of some good ol' conservative outrage?

Well let's all hope he fails miserably to live up to those expectations.

Obama being awardedthe Nobel prize doesn't make this country insane.

It doesn't say a whole lot for the Swedes; but it doesn't make this country insane.

:D

Actually, if I remember the HLN story this morning it was the NORWEIGENS that we have to thank for this!

I like the Swedes for their.... Have and keep this Fully automatic Rifle for life after you've served 2 years in our military stance!

uh... I think it's the Norwegians, not the Swedes.

I beleive the folks that hand out the annual Darwin Awards have higher standards for picking their winners, than the Nobel bunch.

Now, I wonder why Norwegians would be administering a prize grant set up by a Swede. :):p

Sweden.

Actually, I take that back. I see on the linked page where Nobel's will assigned to task of picking the delegates for the Peace Prize to the Norwegian Parliament.

So Taskforce is right!

Children, children. Let me explain it to you simply. Nobel, a Swede, invented dynamite to blow up things. He made lots of money and gave the power to distribute the interest from it to the Norweigens, who now each year give approx. $1.7 million to people that do not want to blow up things or who do and just lie about what it is they want to destroy.

Any more questions. Class dismissed.

Yata hey
