奥巴马大喜大悲 美国人大起大落 全球人大捧大批(图)

奥巴马大喜大悲 美国人大起大落 全球人大捧大批(图) 

奥巴马出乎意料地拿到了今年的诺贝尔和平奖,让他再次成为全球人注视的中心, 也让很多美国人扬眉吐气:我们不仅拿到大多数医学奖、物理奖、化学奖,我们也能拿到和平奖。



就在一星期前,美国人和奥巴马还因为芝加哥在申请
2016奥运会中惨败而沮丧不已。尤其是奥巴马,因为没能为家乡父老和本国人挣脸而受到不少批评和嘲笑。有人感叹,奥巴马的风光不再,有人惊呼,奥巴马的狗屁“魅力”成了芝加哥的阻力。一夜间,奥巴马在世界人民心中成了一个小瘪三,什么都不是了。美国的保守派也借题发挥,幸灾乐祸,攻击奥巴马讨好人家,企图当“世界总统”,到头来还是鸡飞蛋打,丢了美国人的脸。
 

其实,芝加哥落选2016奥运,不是奥巴马的错。用句调侃的话说,不是奥巴马、芝加哥太差了,而是敌人太狡猾了。三个弱小的对手联合作战,把老大拉下马,在世界历史上屡见不鲜,中国2000年输给悉尼也和这差不多。何况里热热内卢打的“南美第一次”的“突破牌”也非常有效。

现在,奥巴马不费吹灰之力就一举赢得诺贝尔和平奖,让支持他的人大喜过望,让反对他的人破口大骂。第一次看到美国和西方也对诺奖评审委员会大加讥讽。想当初,达赖获奖引来多少中国人的骂声。现在,奥巴马获奖又引来西方社会,尤其是部分美国人的谩骂。看来诺奖评审委员对和平奖的颁发就是要“语不惊人死不休”。
 


奥巴马该不该获奖?这个问题见仁见智。连奥巴马自己也说,他对自己获奖一事表示“惭愧”、“惶恐”,把获奖看作是一种召唤。官方的说辞是这样的:“挪威诺贝尔委员会决定将 2009年诺贝尔和平奖授予奥巴马总统,因为他为加强世界外交和世界人民合作做出了非凡的努力。诺贝尔委员会尤其强调他的无核世界理念和他为此所做的工作。” “作为总统,奥巴马在国际政治中创造了一种新气象。多边外交又重获中心地位,强调联合国和其他国际组织的作用。对话和谈判成为解决哪怕是最复杂国际冲突的首选手段。无核世界的观念有力地促进了裁军和军控谈判。感谢奥巴马的倡议,美国如今正在为应对世界面临的气候变化巨大挑战发挥建设性作用。民主和人权得到加强。” “很少有人能像奥巴马这样引起全世界关注,让人们期望更美好的未来。他的外交理念根植于这样一种观念,即世界领导者必须按照世界大多数人口的价值观和看法去开展外交行动。” 108年来,挪威诺贝尔委员会一直致力于推进这样一种国际政治和国际政治理念,而如今奥巴马是首席发言人。诺贝尔委员会赞许奥巴马的呼吁,‘如今我们每个人担负起自己的责任去应对全球挑战了’。”
 




支持的人认为,奥巴马虽然在总统宝座上只有8
个来月的时间,但从他竞选之日开始,他就已经向世人宣示了致力于多边合作,以外交谈判代替武力的理念。与南美左派的和解,与穆斯林的和解,与北韩的互动,与欧洲民众的互动,从伊拉克撤军,取消在波兰部署反导弹系统,从G7发展到G20,都自始至终贯彻着他的理想。正因如此,他在国内饱受保守派、鹰派的批评。布什的8年让美国人在世界人心目中的地位一落千丈,奥巴马的8个月让美国人在世界人心目中的地位重新崛起。作为一个超级大国的总统,奥巴马对世界和平的影响无人能及。他8个月的作用,甚至超过别人的终生努力。

反对的人认为,和平奖是发给那些已经对世界和平做了出色贡献的人士,而奥巴马总统一年还不到,什么实质的事都没有做,凭啥得奖?有人质疑:和平奖似乎可以发给任何人,只要不是布什。有人讥讽:奥巴马比杰米-卡特成为杰米卡特更快地成为杰米-卡特了(注:杰米-卡特是美国前总统,也是和平奖得主,但他在美国人心中是一位糟糕的总统)。还有人调侃:奥巴马应当获得诺贝尔化学奖,因为He's just got great chemistry

不管你是否同意,能获得和平奖毕竟是一种崇高的荣誉。奥巴马获此殊荣,对他自己以及那些支持他的人们是一种莫大的鼓励和鞭策。奥巴马获奖也是恰逢其时,因为奥巴马政府目前正处在很多重大决策的十字路口,此次获奖必将会左右小奥的决策。

首先,美国和北韩的双边谈判可望在不久就能展开。上次克林顿试水成功,下一次必定是更高一层的对话。

其次,与伊朗的关系可能不至于发展到武力相向。现在世界动荡的关键不是谁是天使,谁是魔鬼,而是彼此没有互信。如果大家真能朝无核世界的目标迈开大步,那么,北韩和伊朗的核问题还会成为问题吗?

第三,阿富汗战争不会进一步升级。如果按照美军阿富汗统帅的估算,美国还要再向阿富汗增兵4万,否则不能把塔利班打垮。可谁也不知道,增兵4万是否一定能把塔利班打垮。阿富汗已经成了一个无底洞,吞噬着美国人的生命和财富。美国人也早已厌倦了这场比中国抗日战争还长的战争。弄得不好,真的会成为奥巴马的又一个越南。阿富汗比伊拉克还要复杂,因为她和巴基斯坦的关系,因为她的现政府的无能和不得人心。和一个失去本国民意基础的腐败政府合作来反恐,这风险实在是太大太大了。奥巴马整天为此而焦头烂额,左右为难。现在不如趁此获奖东风,改变原来的思维。依我看,美国的安全不是建立在把塔利班和阿卡衣达消灭干净,因为那是一个不可能完成的任务,美国的安全实际应当建立在自身的强大和对手的折服。“得道多助,失道寡助”中国的古话仍有现实意义。

奥巴马这回被诺贝尔的追随者们戴上了一顶大高帽,他想再不往前走就很难了,也就身不由己了。好在,这样的奋斗方向符合他的人生理想。世界人民相亲相爱毕竟也是我们每个人的理想。我们没有理由不为奥巴马高兴,不为美国人高兴,不为那存在着的希望高兴。希望有一天美国人的利益也就是世界人民的利益,那样,奥巴马向他人示好也就不会被自己的国人攻击成“幼稚”“卖国”了。

虔谦 回复 悄悄话 不知可否把这篇文章转到国内给内地的同胞读读?先谢!
浪宽 回复 悄悄话 一并感谢楼下诸位朋友光临指教,大家各抒己见是好事。奥巴马注定就是个轰轰烈烈的总统,无论是他的朋友,还是他的敌人都会让他这样做。再过5-10年人们才能真正理解今天所发生的事情有多大意义。就像我们当初不能完全看清布什那样,我们现在也看不清奥巴马。
柳青青 回复 悄悄话 太棒了!为你的好文喝彩!
marriedwoman 回复 悄悄话 OB is the NB prize winner, and he is the commander in chief, the leader of the USA military, from now on his hand will be tied by this NB prize, basically he can not use the military option because he 's so called the "PEACE prize" winner. This is the deep down reason that the European internationalist and socialist awarded him this prize, to tie his hand and America's power. This is very bad for America.
abc8899 回复 悄悄话 和平奖是个忽悠奖,是个开大玩笑的奖,人们每次只是看它这次又开什么玩笑而已,没有半点崇高,纯粹是个搞笑的活剧.
alexren 回复 悄悄话 Dala is the biggest slave owner and Obama is the biggest commander in chief, he spend $628 billion this year for his army--over 55% of the whole world military expenses. Why he can not get this prize?
dora4yt 回复 悄悄话 我这么没听Obama 说"惭愧”、“惶恐”. 他说"humbled"...
geusts 回复 悄悄话 这个诺贝尔和平奖已名存实亡。如果陈水扁不进牢房,恐怕今年的诺贝尔和平奖得主就是他了。
白玫瑰花 回复 悄悄话 写得生动,让俺这个对政治不感兴趣的人也产生了兴趣。。。
大象无形文字 回复 悄悄话 有人认为本次颁奖嘲笑了布什。可是当初布什打伊拉克就是"认为"人家在发展核武,
其实并没有像样的证据。那么这次委员会颁奖,也不过是"认为"小奥为和平作贡献,
同样没有拿得出手的实绩。如果布什的逻辑白痴,那委员们的逻辑不也白痴嘛。

话说回来,小奥的任内世界安全局势不会更好。如果不变差就已经是他的造化了。
老姐 回复 悄悄话 奥吧马给西方民主带来新的希望,他成了大美利坚国的总统,凭这点就值个Nobel奖。
反对派要愤怒,是人家的自由。这九个月来不是一直吵吵哄哄的吗?

没听见全球人大批,大批的人只在美国地,等着佩林卷土重来地。

怎么可以瞎说 回复 悄悄话 诺贝尔和平奖就是个玩笑!

科学家需要花几十年耕耘,最后果实累累了,才得到认可。O8一偏嘴,没几天就得奖了--连他自己都闹不清他为啥得奖。
简宁宁 回复 悄悄话 写得不错~
Green_sky 回复 悄悄话 He deserves it.
lianggeren 回复 悄悄话 看看这里叽里呱啦不服气的人就好笑,嫉妒是没有用地。他不需要做成什么就能得奖,因为他得奖是他的远见 - 所谓的vision,诺贝尔奖希望给他设立一个更高的标准,美国举足轻重,但这么多年被布什这样的傻瓜控制着。而奥巴马对于美国外交完全不同的approach,中东和平的希望,核裁军和对全球气候变化的承诺 - 这才是你颁奖的目的!诺贝尔奖让全世界(特别是美国的右派)知道什么是诺贝尔真正支持的和平!
waikikitea 回复 悄悄话 I support this article. With their loudest voice, Nobel Peace Price Committee told the world that they want peace and Obama have been making significant contributions to this goal. He will no doubt be one of the greatest president in US history.

How to Win the Nobel Peace Prize In 12 Days

Let’s take a look at the president’s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

Editor's Note: Although President Obama had only been in office for 12 days before the nominations for this year's Nobel Peace prize closed the entire process actually takes a full year. According to the official Nobel Prize Web site invitation letters are sent out in September. Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee sends out thousands of letters inviting a qualified and select number of people to submit their nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The deadline to submit nominations is February 1. -- Two hundred five names were submitted for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, 33 of which are organizations. A short list of nominees is prepared in February and March. The short list is subject to adviser review from March until August. At the beginning of October, the Nobel Committee chooses the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates through a majority vote. The decision is final and without appeal. The names of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates are then announced."

Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize this morning. Over the last decade the only requirement to win the prize was that the nominee had to be critical of George W. Bush (see Al Gore, Mohamed El Baradei and Jimmy Carter).

President Obama has broken new ground here. Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1. The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.

Let’s take a look at the president’s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:

January 20: Sworn in as president. Went to a parade. Partied.

January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an “open house” party at the White House.

January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how’s that working out?)

January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

January 25: Skipped church.

January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner's swearing in ceremony.

January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.

January 30: Met economic advisers. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.

January 31: Took the day off.

February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.

So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, release federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries, party some more.

Good grief.

firm 回复 悄悄话 炸药奖的标准本身就很成问题:‘即世界领导者必须按照世界大多数人口的价值观和看法去开展外交行动’。
真是典型的愚蠢。什么叫‘大多数人口的价值观’?当初的文化要你命是不是大多数人的运动?当初法西斯消灭犹太人,在德国是不是得到大多数人的支持?真是部分正义邪恶的左派思维,这样的炸药奖给了大嘴奥巴马,真是天大的搞笑。
marriedwoman 回复 悄悄话 when they awarded the NB price to Al Gore, deliloma and alike, I lost respect to this once prestigious award. But I am still surprised to see they awarded to BO, when was he nominated??? The NB committee is really full of NB.
不搞笑 回复 悄悄话 觉得奇怪:博主怎么会认为这个和平奖崇高?
武胜 回复 悄悄话 “世界领导者必须按照世界大多数人口的价值观和看法去开展外交行动”。有这样的世界民主吗?挪威议员的看法多大程度上代表世界?

对奥巴马来说有人称颂总不是坏事,大喜则未必。芝加哥申奥也不是大悲,他在尽自己的义务罢了。

被人瞧不起的诺贝尔和平奖,再次“俗不可耐”! 空喊口号就拿奖?
noso 回复 悄悄话 回复90-=的评论:

本来中美可能接着打朝鲜战争,毛泽东和尼克松把中美两国拉在一起当亲家。现在美国公司到中国当老板,中国到美国财政部当老板。我看这个和平奖该给毛泽东和尼克松。

Obama's Nobel: The Last Thing He Needs
By NANCY GIBBS Nancy Gibbs
53 mins ago

The last thing Barack Obama needed at this moment in his presidency and our politics is a prize for a promise.


Inspirational words have brought him a long way - including to the night in Grant Park less than a year ago when he asked that we "join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it's been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand." (See pictures of Obama in Grant Park.)


By now there are surely more callouses on his lips than his hands. He, like every new president, has reckoned with both the power and the danger of words, dangers that are especially great for one who wields them as skillfully as he. A promise beautifully made raises hopes especially high: we will revive the economy while we rein in our spending; we will make health care simpler, safer, cheaper, fairer. We will rid the earth of its most lethal weapons. We will turn green and clean. We will all just get along. (See pictures of eight months of Obama's diplomacy.)


So when reality bites, it chomps down hard. The Nobel committee cited "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." His critics fault some of those efforts: those who favor a missile shield for Poland or a troop surge in Afghanistan or a harder line on Iran. But even his fans know that none of the dreams have yet come true, and a prize for even dreaming them can feed the illusion that they have. (See the Top 10 Obama Backlash Moments)


Maybe the prize will give him more power, new muscles to haul unruly nations in line. But peacemaking is more about ingenuity than inspiration, about reading other nations' selfish interests and cynically, strategically exploiting them for the common good. Will it help if fewer countries come to the table hating us? To a point. But it's a starting point, not an end in itself.


At this moment many Americans are longing for a president who is more bully, less pulpit. The president who leased his immense inaugural good will to the hungry appropriators writing the stimulus bill, who has not stopped negotiating health care reform except to say what is non-negotiable, whose solicitude for the wheelers and dealers who drove the financial system into a ditch leaves the rest of us wondering who has our back, has always shown great promise, said the right things, affirmed every time he opens his mouth that he understands the fears we face and the hopes we hold. But he presides over a capital whose day-to-day functioning has become part-travesty, part-tragedy, wasteful, blind, vain, petty, where even the best intentioned reformers measure their progress with teaspoons. There comes a time when a President needs to take a real risk - and putting his prestige on the line to win the Olympics for his home town does not remotely count.


Compare this to Greg Mortenson, nominated for the prize by some members of Congress, who the bookies gave 20-to-1 odds of winning. Son of a missionary, a former army Medic and mountaineer, he has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. His Central Asia Institute has built more than 130 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan - a mission which has, along the way, inspired millions of people to view the protection and education of girls as a key to peace and prosperity and progress.(See an interactive guide to Obama's first 100 days.)


Sometimes the words come first. Sometimes, it's better to let actions speak for themselves.
