The political savvy of this guy just astounds me.......time and time again he stumbles on the world stage. His lack of political protocol and experience is frightening.

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

"Of all the things he is cancelling, I think the worst is cancelling the lunch with the king," said Siv Jensen, the leader of the largest party in opposition, the populist Progress party. "This is a central part of our government system. He should respect the monarchy," she told VG.

What class He has..........

News outlets across the region are calling Obama arrogant for slashing some of the prize winners’ traditional duties from his schedule. “Everybody wants to visit the Peace Center except Obama,†sniped the Norwegian daily Aftenposten, amid reports the president would snub his own exhibition at the Nobel Peace Center. “A bit arrogant—a bit bad,†proclaimed another Aftenposten headline.

“It’s very sad,†said Nobel Peace Center Director Bente Erichsen of the news that Obama would skip the peace center exhibit. Prize winners traditionally open the exhibitions about their work that accompany the Nobel festivities. “I totally understand why the Norwegian public is upset. If I could get a few minutes with the president, I’d say, ‘To walk through the exhibition wouldn’t take long, and I’m sure you would love the show. You have no idea what you are missing.’â€

Meanwhile, the Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet is reporting that the president has declined an invitation to lunch with King Harald V, an event every prize winner from the Dalai Lama to Al Gore has attended. (The newspaper’s headline: “Obama disses lunch with King Harald.â€)


Meh, just show me the money. And the trophy. Are there other awards you can give me? I could meet with the King if he wants do declare me The Emperor of Awesome.

Finally.....................we agree on something !

Personally, I think Nobamas back was hurting, from a recent golf game and the reason for snub of the King was , he didn't think he could bow low enough !

So if he would have grandstanded and made overtures to all, taking in all of the festivities and had praise lavished on him, you all would be gushing in your praise for him doing the right thing...

I thought POTUS was about protocol and respect to our friends and their countries and cultures.

He didn't have to grandstand at all....just do the normal protocols.

I wouldn't have posted if he did what is expected.

No your not close here Tech.

Obama makes Bush look smarter day by day. What a joke. The Norwegians deserve it though if they had anything to do with the Nobel prize. Forget it. The Nobel prize has no prestige any more.
