Usain Bolt Was Going So Fast On The Track In Oslo He Ran Into A Flower Girl

 

Jamaican gold medalist sprinter, Usain Bolt, was running so fast during the Diamond League track meet in Oslo, he was unable to slow down or hit the proverbial brakes after winning the race and ran into a flower girl, who was giggling about it. Thankfully, Bolt was able to cradle her, preventing the flower girl from hitting the ground. Does the Jamaican government need to put a parachute on Bolt, as is sometimes done with certain fast aircrafts to slow them down upon landing (LOL).

Obama Nobel Controversy Continues

"Barack Obama's peace prize starts a fight"

Controversy surrounding President Barack Obama's Nobel Peace Prize award continues, as numerous outlets around the world weigh in on the honor. The Times had a very scathing review on announcement.

Barack Obama's peace prize starts a fight

October 10, 2009 - Gasps echoed through the Nobel Hall in Oslo yesterday as Barack Obama was unveiled as the winner of the 2009 Peace Prize, sparking a global outpouring of incredulity and praise in unequal measure...

In a clear swipe at his predecessor, George W. Bush, the committee praised the “change in the international climate” that the President had brought, along with his cherished goal of ridding the world of nuclear weapons.

“Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future,” it added.

International reaction ranged from delight to disbelief. The former winners Kofi Annan and Desmond Tutu voiced praise, the latter lauding the Nobel Committee’s “surprising but imaginative choice”.

But Lech Walesa, the dissident turned Polish President, who won the Peace Prize in 1983, spoke for many, declaring: “So soon? Too early. He has no contribution so far.”

Mr Obama’s domestic critics leapt on the award as evidence of foreigners fawning over an untested “celebrity” leader. Rush Limbaugh, the US right-wing commentator, said: “This fully exposes the illusion that is Barack Obama."...

“Let me be clear. I do not view it as recognition of my own accomplishments but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations," he said.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a notoriously difficult award to predict, but yesterday's decision was clearly a political choice, with three of the past six peace awards going to Bush adversaries...

But Bobby Muller, who won the Nobel Prize as co-founder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, told The Times: "I don't have the highest regard for the thinking or process of the Nobel committee. Maybe Norway should give it to Sweden so they can more properly handle the Peace Prize along with all the other Nobel prizes."
