奧巴馬大喜大悲 美國人大起大落 全球人大捧大批(圖)

奧巴馬大喜大悲 美國人大起大落 全球人大捧大批(圖) 

奧巴馬出乎意料地拿到了今年的諾貝爾和平獎,讓他再次成為全球人注視的中心, 也讓很多美國人揚眉吐氣:我們不僅拿到大多數醫學獎、物理獎、化學獎,我們也能拿到和平獎。



就在一星期前,美國人和奧巴馬還因為芝加哥在申請
2016奧運會中慘敗而沮喪不已。尤其是奧巴馬,因為沒能為家鄉父老和本國人掙臉而受到不少批評和嘲笑。有人感歎,奧巴馬的風光不再,有人驚呼,奧巴馬的狗屁“魅力”成了芝加哥的阻力。一夜間,奧巴馬在世界人民心中成了一個小癟三,什麽都不是了。美國的保守派也借題發揮,幸災樂禍,攻擊奧巴馬討好人家,企圖當“世界總統”,到頭來還是雞飛蛋打,丟了美國人的臉。
 

其實,芝加哥落選2016奧運,不是奧巴馬的錯。用句調侃的話說,不是奧巴馬、芝加哥太差了,而是敵人太狡猾了。三個弱小的對手聯合作戰,把老大拉下馬,在世界曆史上屢見不鮮,中國2000年輸給悉尼也和這差不多。何況裏熱熱內盧打的“南美第一次”的“突破牌”也非常有效。 



奧巴馬在柏林



現在,奧巴馬不費吹灰之力就一舉贏得諾貝爾和平獎,讓支持他的人大喜過望,讓反對他的人破口大罵。第一次看到美國和西方也對諾獎評審委員會大加譏諷。想當初,達賴獲獎引來多少中國人的罵聲。現在,奧巴馬獲獎又引來西方社會,尤其是部分美國人的謾罵。看來諾獎評審委員對和平獎的頒發就是要“語不驚人死不休”。
 


奧巴馬該不該獲獎?這個問題見仁見智。連奧巴馬自己也說,他對自己獲獎一事表示“慚愧”、“惶恐”,把獲獎看作是一種召喚。官方的說辭是這樣的:“挪威諾貝爾委員會決定將 2009年諾貝爾和平獎授予奧巴馬總統,因為他為加強世界外交和世界人民合作做出了非凡的努力。諾貝爾委員會尤其強調他的無核世界理念和他為此所做的工作。” “作為總統,奧巴馬在國際政治中創造了一種新氣象。多邊外交又重獲中心地位,強調聯合國和其他國際組織的作用。對話和談判成為解決哪怕是最複雜國際衝突的首選手段。無核世界的觀念有力地促進了裁軍和軍控談判。感謝奧巴馬的倡議,美國如今正在為應對世界麵臨的氣候變化巨大挑戰發揮建設性作用。民主和人權得到加強。” “很少有人能像奧巴馬這樣引起全世界關注,讓人們期望更美好的未來。他的外交理念根植於這樣一種觀念,即世界領導者必須按照世界大多數人口的價值觀和看法去開展外交行動。” 108年來,挪威諾貝爾委員會一直致力於推進這樣一種國際政治和國際政治理念,而如今奧巴馬是首席發言人。諾貝爾委員會讚許奧巴馬的呼籲,‘如今我們每個人擔負起自己的責任去應對全球挑戰了’。”
 




支持的人認為,奧巴馬雖然在總統寶座上隻有8
個來月的時間,但從他競選之日開始,他就已經向世人宣示了致力於多邊合作,以外交談判代替武力的理念。與南美左派的和解,與穆斯林的和解,與北韓的互動,與歐洲民眾的互動,從伊拉克撤軍,取消在波蘭部署反導彈係統,從G7發展到G20,都自始至終貫徹著他的理想。正因如此,他在國內飽受保守派、鷹派的批評。布什的8年讓美國人在世界人心目中的地位一落千丈,奧巴馬的8個月讓美國人在世界人心目中的地位重新崛起。作為一個超級大國的總統,奧巴馬對世界和平的影響無人能及。他8個月的作用,甚至超過別人的終生努力。

反對的人認為,和平獎是發給那些已經對世界和平做了出色貢獻的人士,而奧巴馬總統一年還不到,什麽實質的事都沒有做,憑啥得獎?有人質疑:和平獎似乎可以發給任何人,隻要不是布什。有人譏諷:奧巴馬比傑米-卡特成為傑米卡特更快地成為傑米-卡特了(注:傑米-卡特是美國前總統,也是和平獎得主,但他在美國人心中是一位糟糕的總統)。還有人調侃:奧巴馬應當獲得諾貝爾化學獎,因為He's just got great chemistry

不管你是否同意,能獲得和平獎畢竟是一種崇高的榮譽。奧巴馬獲此殊榮,對他自己以及那些支持他的人們是一種莫大的鼓勵和鞭策。奧巴馬獲獎也是恰逢其時,因為奧巴馬政府目前正處在很多重大決策的十字路口,此次獲獎必將會左右小奧的決策。

首先,美國和北韓的雙邊談判可望在不久就能展開。上次克林頓試水成功,下一次必定是更高一層的對話。

其次,與伊朗的關係可能不至於發展到武力相向。現在世界動蕩的關鍵不是誰是天使,誰是魔鬼,而是彼此沒有互信。如果大家真能朝無核世界的目標邁開大步,那麽,北韓和伊朗的核問題還會成為問題嗎?

第三,阿富汗戰爭不會進一步升級。如果按照美軍阿富汗統帥的估算,美國還要再向阿富汗增兵4萬,否則不能把塔利班打垮。可誰也不知道,增兵4萬是否一定能把塔利班打垮。阿富汗已經成了一個無底洞,吞噬著美國人的生命和財富。美國人也早已厭倦了這場比中國抗日戰爭還長的戰爭。弄得不好,真的會成為奧巴馬的又一個越南。阿富汗比伊拉克還要複雜,因為她和巴基斯坦的關係,因為她的現政府的無能和不得人心。和一個失去本國民意基礎的腐敗政府合作來反恐,這風險實在是太大太大了。奧巴馬整天為此而焦頭爛額,左右為難。現在不如趁此獲獎東風,改變原來的思維。依我看,美國的安全不是建立在把塔利班和阿卡衣達消滅幹淨,因為那是一個不可能完成的任務,美國的安全實際應當建立在自身的強大和對手的折服。“得道多助,失道寡助”中國的古話仍有現實意義。

奧巴馬這回被諾貝爾的追隨者們戴上了一頂大高帽,他想再不往前走就很難了,也就身不由己了。好在,這樣的奮鬥方向符合他的人生理想。世界人民相親相愛畢竟也是我們每個人的理想。我們沒有理由不為奧巴馬高興,不為美國人高興,不為那存在著的希望高興。希望有一天美國人的利益也就是世界人民的利益,那樣,奧巴馬向他人示好也就不會被自己的國人攻擊成“幼稚”“賣國”了。

浪寬 回複 悄悄話 一並感謝樓下諸位朋友光臨指教,大家各抒己見是好事。奧巴馬注定就是個轟轟烈烈的總統,無論是他的朋友,還是他的敵人都會讓他這樣做。再過5-10年人們才能真正理解今天所發生的事情有多大意義。就像我們當初不能完全看清布什那樣,我們現在也看不清奧巴馬。

marriedwoman 回複 悄悄話 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 回複 悄悄話 和平獎是個忽悠獎,是個開大玩笑的獎,人們每次隻是看它這次又開什麽玩笑而已,沒有半點崇高,純粹是個搞笑的活劇.

大象無形文字 回複 悄悄話 有人認為本次頒獎嘲笑了布什。可是當初布什打伊拉克就是"認為"人家在發展核武,
其實並沒有像樣的證據。那麽這次委員會頒獎,也不過是"認為"小奧為和平作貢獻,
同樣沒有拿得出手的實績。如果布什的邏輯白癡,那委員們的邏輯不也白癡嘛。

話說回來,小奧的任內世界安全局勢不會更好。如果不變差就已經是他的造化了。
老姐 回複 悄悄話 奧吧馬給西方民主帶來新的希望,他成了大美利堅國的總統,憑這點就值個Nobel獎。
反對派要憤怒,是人家的自由。這九個月來不是一直吵吵哄哄的嗎?

沒聽見全球人大批,大批的人隻在美國地,等著佩林卷土重來地。

怎麽可以瞎說 回複 悄悄話 諾貝爾和平獎就是個玩笑!

科學家需要花幾十年耕耘,最後果實累累了,才得到認可。O8一偏嘴,沒幾天就得獎了--連他自己都鬧不清他為啥得獎。

lianggeren 回複 悄悄話 看看這裏嘰裏呱啦不服氣的人就好笑,嫉妒是沒有用地。他不需要做成什麽就能得獎,因為他得獎是他的遠見 - 所謂的vision,諾貝爾獎希望給他設立一個更高的標準,美國舉足輕重,但這麽多年被布什這樣的傻瓜控製著。而奧巴馬對於美國外交完全不同的approach,中東和平的希望,核裁軍和對全球氣候變化的承諾 - 這才是你頒獎的目的!諾貝爾獎讓全世界(特別是美國的右派)知道什麽是諾貝爾真正支持的和平!
waikikitea 回複 悄悄話 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 回複 悄悄話 炸藥獎的標準本身就很成問題:‘即世界領導者必須按照世界大多數人口的價值觀和看法去開展外交行動’。
真是典型的愚蠢。什麽叫‘大多數人口的價值觀’?當初的文化要你命是不是大多數人的運動?當初法西斯消滅猶太人,在德國是不是得到大多數人的支持?真是部分正義邪惡的左派思維,這樣的炸藥獎給了大嘴奧巴馬,真是天大的搞笑。
marriedwoman 回複 悄悄話 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 回複 悄悄話 覺得奇怪:博主怎麽會認為這個和平獎崇高?
武勝 回複 悄悄話 “世界領導者必須按照世界大多數人口的價值觀和看法去開展外交行動”。有這樣的世界民主嗎?挪威議員的看法多大程度上代表世界?

對奧巴馬來說有人稱頌總不是壞事,大喜則未必。芝加哥申奧也不是大悲,他在盡自己的義務罷了。

本來中美可能接著打朝鮮戰爭,毛澤東和尼克鬆把中美兩國拉在一起當親家。現在美國公司到中國當老板,中國到美國財政部當老板。我看這個和平獎該給毛澤東和尼克鬆。

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.
