    I don’t think you understand what a disastrous thing it would be if he didn’t accept the prize. It would be considered a huge insult for one, not to mention a public and international relations fiasco. They put him in a really awkward spot and it didn’t do him any good. Kinda diminished the value of the peace prize too, I think.

    Sure I guess.
    He could have said, Though I am deeply honored, I must repectfully decline. Sure there are people more deserving than I !
    Give me the chance to earn it ! Based on achievements, I am grateful, but no !
    He’s too arrogant to do the right thing
    sadly.

    I agree he doesn’t deserve it, but that doesn’t make it his fault for getting it.

    Why don’t you just bow down to obama and get it over with ?

    He’s just a poser.

    He was given an award before he earned it !!!!!!

    to the fdsfjsdfjjl,
    An interesting gathering of the alphabet.

    I had no hateful or negative thoughts to convey. The **** is all yours, evidently.
    The Bible does however give some things to look for, and I think we may be seeing them. That’s it no hate, just an
    observation, pure and simple. Keep your **** in check…. please. It will do the world a great service.

    Did you have any Christian background,
    before you turned against God ?

    Its disturbing, that most hateful and negative thoughts always come from the “believers”. Also….arrogant, are you blind, deaf, or just in denial ? I wish people would use their brains more, see, thats what helped us to get out of the caves, even though some seem to stay there, mentally, you know.

    As with the Part One video, I simply will ad a quick note of praise for a job well done, Sol and the VSA team.

    Interesting that Sol Sender calls a logo
    a “Mark” I’m amazed. The first candidate ever to have a logo / Mark is this man of great arrogance.
    Writes two books on his life, before he has done anything.
    Is this as in Mark of the Beast ?
    Revelation suggests he will heal from a mortal head wound…..

    America with its corporations and its neocolonialism will never turn comunist. Comunism would be America to share in a fair way its richness.
    America is too greedy to turn comunist

    I like experts who know nothing about that which they speak.

    First it’s the OTO that is controlling media. Saying the Obama image is the only masonic message is absolutely retarded.

    The S is only 1/2 of the statement. It’s really SS, standing for Sweet Satan.

    Then you have the 11- The light (goddess and dark - GOD).
    The two pyramids (sun and set) - The only way in and out of the Cube.

    The G isn’t a G. It again is only 1/2 of the message.

    It looks just like a copy of the RCA BMG label for Follow That Dream. Nothing new.
