Obama did not deserve that one. Henry fucking Kissinger got one. The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke at best, and a bastardization of the idea mixed with horrific propaganda at worst.

If I remember correctly Obama got it like a couple of weeks into his presidency before having done anything. While continuing a war. So yeah it’s meaningless.
To give a peace price to any president is laughable
He essentially got it for not being Bush.
Not saying Donnie deserves it but we need to stop pretending that Obama getting the prize is some sort of achievement.
Honestly wouldn't surprise me if the next elected Democrat president got it either.
Honestly, the next Democratic president might actually deserve one if they stop the active fashist takeover of democracy. Even if they do nothing else and continue all current wars etc. Not being Trump could probably save thousands if not millions of lives.
Unless it’s Newsom, then we get fascism light and he gets a Nobel peace prize and I die a little more inside.
Barack Obama, the first Nobel Peace Prize recipient to instate global mass surveillance and bombard 6 countries.
I smell AI
Seems to be AI generated
I love that we’re just AI boomerposting now
Yeah, we’re becoming Facebook.
there are some valid examples to justify calling the Nobel peace prize a joke
Diaper Donnie still wouldn’t get it.
...Nobel invented dynamite?..just asking...
I don't think most world leaders even deserve a "peace prize"
Hell, why not nominate me. I literally have 0 kills. I qualify more than literally any US president lmfao.
Gimme the fucking prize.
Obama approved a program of drone strikes all over the Middle East. Entire weddings were blown up because one terrorist was in attendance. Some drone'pilot' at an air force base in Nevada would just target the whole wedding venue.
Obama has launched more drone strikes than any other Peace-Prize winner in history.
He's certainly not the most controversial Nobel winner, but his award was embarrassing in the sense that European intelligentsia was congratulating backward America for electing a black President.
You may not agree that this was condescending, but it's hard to argue that Obama's legacy is of the peacemaker domestically or internationally.
Obama has launched more drone strikes than any other Peace-Prize winner in history.
This, of all the things to be critrical of, isnt it (the drone part).
Less invasive, less troops on the ground, more precise strikes than traditional bombings. Things don't exisr in a vacuums. Drones were a W.
He’s certainly not the most controversial Nobel winner, but his award was embarrassing in the sense that European intelligentsia was congratulating backward America for electing a black President.
This hints something about you that you think it was him being black and not him not being bush after bush, and being charming.
“How many Nobel peace prizes does it take to keep a president from extrajudicially killing Americans?” Obama: “At least 2”
...the prize is named after a man who caused more destruction than creation, figure this shit out, the whole politic thing is a joke....
I mean that’s why he established it.
Unrealistic reaction from donnie. Psychopaths/ sociopaths never feel regret or sadness or remorse.
Anger would be his reaction.
This would be more humorous if Obama hadn’t made the same joke about Trump being president at the White House Press Corps dinner in 2011.
Yeah that shit annoyed the fuck out of me when he said it. I knew in that moment that Trump was going to get all the power he was seeking.
