a reply to: intrptr

He got the prize because he is black.

Maybe. But that doesn't have anything to do with Obama winning the prize in 2009 as your OP insinuates. Come on! Talk about moving the goalposts!

Six years later? No sorry but just no. Don't be ridiculous. President Obama had nothing at all to do with anything that happened.

Arrrrrgh!!!!a reply to: xuenchen

Obama never should have gotten that Nobel Prize. All he did was read pretty speeches written by other people. That being said, I don't see how Obama getting the prize in 2009 would lead to someone getting a demotion in 2015. Not unless the man made a long string of bad decisions that we don't know about and Obama was just the start of it. To say this demotion is just based on the Obama prize of 2009??? Naaah!

No no no. Really? You'll just lay everything that goes wrong in the world at the presidents feet. But this? Six years after the fact it costs a man his job? Oh and Obama had nothing to do with who got awarded the prize BTW. He didn't submit his name or ask for this so how could his receiving it be an issue. How does that make this action Obama's fault?
