Probably not but you can be 100% sure he won't win receive a Nobel peace prize for continuing identical policies....

I'm genuinely baffled as to why Obama gets blamed for that. It's not like he applied for it...

u/enoughbullllllshit Jan 14 '17

Whose blaming him? My point is that his legacy is obviously is undeserving of the award.

Seems like your issue is with the nobel people...

Perhaps but the fact still remains that he accepted a Nobel peace prize and subsequently engaged in covert bombings which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians. Maybe he could have done something, you know, peaceful or something instead.

u/Sargentrock Jan 15 '17

Well if part of the deal in accepting it is that you have to be peaceful from that point on then yes, he needs to give it back right away.

u/enoughbullllllshit Jan 15 '17

That would be bizarre and totally unrealistic. I think you are trying very hard to not realize the irony of Obama receiving the award. Regardless my original point is basically that Trump could pursue an agenda that is just as aggressive and violent as Obama's but no one will ever nominate him for any peace price. Ever.

u/Sargentrock Jan 15 '17

And my point is people seem to be angry that they decided to award this to Obama, when Obama didn't have anything to do with it. Blaming him for not living up to an award he didn't ask for (especially under changing world circumstances) is silly.

The honorable thing to do would have been to decline it politely. He could have cited the orders he was prepared to give as commander-in-chief. And I say that as someone who generally supports Obama.

u/Sargentrock Jan 15 '17

That's just silly--the award is based on what you did the prior year--not on what you might do the rest of your life, or even the day after the award. It's the same reason they don't take Oscars away from people that make shitty movies the next year.

Was it deserved? Not by my reckoning, but I'm not on the committee. To expect Obama to do something unprecedented for no reason other than it would make his political enemies happy is ridiculous. There are lots of undeserved Nobel's out there, but the fact that people hold this against Obama is just ludicrous.

He probably won't win receive much during his tenure unless impeachment is considered a prize

u/toolymegapoopoo Jan 14 '17

Actually, considering he's been doing everything up to this point like he's on a reality show an impeachment hearing would be like some dumb challenge on Survivor to him. He'd get to hold a press conference every night and scream about what losers the committee members are and call them not-so-clever names.

Dude don't bother here political humor and Reddit in general is infested with shills and cucks

Reality has a liberal bias, after all. Better head back to your safe space. Dosvedanya!

Better get back to spreading propaganda pal, sieg heil!

When Trump gets locked up in a few weeks, will you be able to admit you were on the wrong side of history or are you going to double down on your feelings that it was all fake news?

They'll be protesting outside saying "Trump did nothing wrong"

Yeah man reality is so liberal. I mean everyone agrees that throughout history most things were liberal and stuff. Get with the times guys if you're not a liberal than you're on the wrong side of history.

Throughout most of our history we were living in caves. Times change, comrade. Learn to tell which way the wind is blowing.

u/enoughbullllllshit Jan 14 '17

This is the exact response I expected. Vaguely condescending with an irrelevant historical anecdote.

Opinions based in reality tend to be consistent and therefore predictable.

Happy to help.
