See what you make of this … I didn’t write it of course, just came across it. The blogsphere is something else isn’t it ?

This is the Breaking News, newly installed U.S President Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel prize by the committee in Olso Norway. Barack Obama has yet to complete a year in office and has negotiated no  international peace treaties or settlements so far.  The award is for his efforts to strengthen diplomacy  and  co-operation between peoples. I believe the award is given in hope for the future. Barack Obama has yet to show whether he is a man of Peace or a Man of War.

Here is a link to the Nobel Institute

There you have it … the No side was well trounced with a result of 67 %-Yes to 33 % -No.

Though the campaign was one sided with the “Yes” side getting all the media coverage and seemingly the Referendum commission on their side as well. The No’s did as well as they could (including a very late entry by Declan Ganley & Libertas). They could have empathized the loss of sovereignty, giving so much away in return for so little. The No side also failed to sink the Yes’s campaign about Lisbon been good for the economy etc.. etc.. Lisbon will not do anything for the economy, no jobs- no money.

The treaty is very undemocratic (unelected President and Foreign minster), it’s also very pro-big business at the expense of workers right and largely hands over the reins of the EU to France and Germany.

We better get used to all the decisions been made in Paris and Berlin for better or worse.
