Nobel peace prize:Norwegians incensed over Barack Obama’s snubs

By Gwladys Fouché,UK Guardian

 Obama is ticking off the Norwegians who are honoring him

Barack Obama’s trip to Oslo to pick up his Nobel peace award is in danger of being overshadowed by a row over the cancellation of a series of events normally attended by the prizewinner.

Norwegians are incensed over what they view as his shabby response to the prize by cutting short his visit.

The White House has cancelled many of the events peace prize laureates traditionally submit to,including a dinner with the Norwegian Nobel committee,a press conference,a television interview,appearances at a children’s event promoting peace and a music concert,as well as a visit to an exhibition in his honour at the Nobel peace centre.

He has also turned down a lunch invitation from the King of Norway.

According to a poll published by the daily tabloid VG,44% of Norwegians believe it was rude of Obama to cancel his scheduled lunch with King Harald,with only 34% saying they believe it was acceptable.

    I think the solution lies in the American people banding together and peacefully marching on the white house,senate and house and taking our country back. They can't stop 100,000 people marching on Washington. We peacefully march into the oval office and notify obama that he has been discharged from the office of President and is being replaced,let it be know that he has till the end of the day to get himself and his family out. Then we march onto the floors of the senate and the house with same message,your all out,vacate the premises by the end of the day your being replaced. Then put a new government in place that is dedicated to the best interests of the American people. It is not complicated and the people need to understand that those folks in Washington are afraid of the American people because they can't stop us if we decide to take our country back.

      Tom:
      I like your style! But do you think oinly 100,000 will show up? More like 1,000,000!
      When do we start?

      Ok. What should I wear? Are we all doing lunch"later? Should be fun. And then,maybe America can finally get on with the business of living their lives,instead of waking up every morning to new and more depressing news about what Obama and his wrecking crew are doing or have done to our country.

      I seriously think this is a good idea that will work = and I believe it's our only option now. There's virtually no one we can turn to for help in solving the WH problem –all are being bought off in various ways by BHO,thus will not buck him. But….how do we mobilize –we know "they"monitor the Internet.

  • "OOO"knows he doesn't deserve this prestigious award. He never earned it after only being in office a short time and doing nothing before it was awarded. It's a sham that he received it and he knows it.

  • Our so called president and commander in chief is a mutt and should be taken out of the WH by the ear and tossed out on his butt. or put against the wall and given a traitors send off. Oh and take the racist retch with him. I really don't understand why he's still a problem without the solution being made. He has been proven to be a chronic liar and certainly not for Americans or the constitution . This guy is not on our side,not unless your a muslim. Talk about an enemy of the people,towards the people and our great nation. Then again so are pelosi,serrors,clinton,biden( now he's joke and just ob's puppet.)
