What he ought to do, frankly, is send the mother of a fallen American solider to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military.

Yeah could not send anyone from your family or extended family.

How about you nominate Cindy Sheehan, Liz?

Obama is working to achieve peace in his role as commander in chief. He has been much more hands on than Bush ever was concerning the Palestinians and the Jews. Obama has wound down the Iraq war by signaling our presence will no longer be front and center there. He has increased the number of US troops in Afghanistan in order to stabilize a country that was neglected while we went to Iraq. His surge is more than a military surge, it is a dimplomatic and humanitarian surge as well. He went to Cairo and yearned for better understanding between the Muslim and Western cultures. He has laid the framework by which peace can be achieved. His efforts have not gone unnoticed obviously. I, for one, am glad he has been recognized by the Nobel Committee. I hoped Liz Cheney would also recognize these efforts instead of demonizing them. Americans elect a president to not be like Dick Cheney. I know her family will never comprehend that but maybe we can form a committee and present an award and call it, "Ruler who the world liked the least AKA The Darth Cheney award"

Can't help feeling all these Republican commentators are just steamed that, despite the fact they THINK America is dominant, (and it ain't) they can't control the opinions of five Norwegians on a Nobel Committee.

It almost seems as if nobody should be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize without first checking with the Repubs first. They can't control whether Obama accepts or turns down the award, they can't control the opinions of people outside their territorial borders who truly admire the course the President has laid out -- they can't control anything about this -- and boy are their panties in a knot over it. It's all about control. Period.

And to LFC who wrote "Liz is basically trying to deal with one of the most massive sets of "daddy issues" in existence" -- amen! Couldn't agree more!

Hold that thought!

This phrase will undoubtedly come in handy when the lady decides to try and run for "office" - er... ruler!

Liz Cheney, Her father & their kind -- are the reason the U.S. is in the condtion that we are in -- no jobs, rising health care costs due to corporate greed, record people losing their homes because of corporate greed and scams and now they have a new scam going -- giving an individual money if they sign over their life insurance policy to them! Barack Obama has ignited the Will to Good and Peace by extending an Olive Branch to our adversaries, thereby igniting peaceful dialogue, cooperation and inclusiveness. His aura radiates peace. He extended an olive branch to Hillary Clinton after the bitter battle and even one to the GOP, although they continually spit in his face!

Huh? Seems like the Repubs are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find people who actually think this way. First they compare Obama to Hitler then they're upset that he doesn't want to dominate the world. I guess he's not living up to THEIR expectations.

Liz wants to "send the mother of a fallen American solider to accept the prize on behalf of the U.S. military"? Let's see. That'd be a bit like the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series, and then sending Mean Joe Greene to accept the trophy on behalf of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I think Liz is a bit unclear on the concept of who won.

Gosh she's good. I mean she knows what the President is thinking "The president himself understands he didn't earn this prize," Cheney said. She clearly articulated the valuesof the Nobel Committee;Cheney said, "that each one of them sleeps soundly at night because of the U.S. armed forces, because the U.S. military is the greatest peacekeeping force in the world today."
I think she is right!! She should have gotten the award!!!

I’m surprised she didn’t want Jack Bauer to accept the award on behalf of the American Torturer who has made us all safe and guarded our liberties.

FARCE: Takes one to know one

"I don't think anybody could have predicted that they would try to use a Nobel Peace Prize as a missile," said Liz Cheney, ignoring memo entitled "Sane people determined to strike targets in U.S."

The real problem is hers, or more broadly, theirs, in that they feel they have to attack the President and the Nobel Prize over the award. If they don't like it, just ignore it. They don't have to go on and on about it.

It is really hilarious to see how much this bothers the Bush regime. Perhaps they fear that this award somehow implies that the world would approve of a war crimes trial for Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz . . . .

Poor deranged Liz, still struggling to obtain Daddy's affection. Let me clue you in kid, he's got none. At least W had the sense to keep his mouth shut.

Liz is kind of a devilish version of Howdy Doody. Whatever your thoughts on daddy dick, he sure can pull a lot of strings at one time.
She's just lucky that her master isn't Gepetto.

She wasn't the only Republican to miss the point of the award. I like the fact that they have to struggle with it. Liz just keeps mounting up the bad karma.
