One thing he'll be missing is lunch with some Scandanavian royalty:
I wouldn't pass that up.

Finally some Europeans are angry with Obama—the very ones who are awarding him his Nobel. Katarina Andersson on the president's decision to decline lunch with King Harald and skip his own Nobel exhibit.
A day before President Obama receives his Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, the president’s treatment of his Norwegian hosts has become hot news across Scandinavia.
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.’”

Guess this one’s not royal enough or powerful enough to bow too.
BTTT
Hey dummies give him another Piss, er, Peace Prize, why dont’cha? After all, it’s predicated on what you try to believe he’ll do in the future. Now he’s shown you, for weeks.
Obama knows the “Peace Center” is crap also, and as President, he feels he doesn’t need to bother with it.
You can take the Kenyan out of a mud hut village but...
The list, ping
Screw em. They deserve their mistake to be handed to them right in their faces. Ain’t liberal white guilt grand?
You know, I think he should start wearing some robes or a military uniform covered with medals... Maybe a head dress, or a cape like Karzai.
Well heck, I hoped they would keep him.
If the king wasn’t so dog-gone WHITE, Obama would have bowed to him instead of snubbing him.
The man is clearly a recist!
;-)
...or brown enough...
Buyer’s remorse
May Barry just has a sore back.
Not moslem enough.
What don't these Norwegians understanding about nothing? Oh wait, they gave the Peace Prize for nothing and now they are surprised 0bama has nothing to exhibit. Maybe Afghanistan. Heh.
He won’t go see the exhibit because it’s not about him.
They managed to create an exhibit about Obama’s work that was the basis for the prize? What’s in it? A teleprompter with an anti-Bush speech on it?
And George Bush was accused of arrogance? I really miss his humble strength and his commitment to our oldest allies.
Yeah, except that Hussein is reserving his most stringent “payback” for white Christians and conservatives. The liberal whites just make it easy for him.
This is ALL so good to hear.
He’s not a mooselimb.
Before he’s done, he’ll have shown his racism to every country in western Europe. But knowing the left, they’ll beg his forgiveness for daring to live.
Michelle with her hands all over the Queen of England...Good grief...
Then there are the stupid gifts and the bowing......
Exactly, they deserve it. Obama is just being Obama. What total idiots for giving the narcissist the prize in the first place. LOL!
Since the Constitution outlaws titles of nobility, perhaps Obama should grant himself a rank? He can't be a Colonel, because he'd be the same rank as Khadafy. How does Supreme General Obama sound?

You may be on to something.
Guess there are no detectives in the house to follow-up. You know the reporters will not.
Good. That's why we have protocol--so heads of state don't get themselves in these dilemmas. Follow the rules and stay out of trouble. Take a clue, Barry.
First Tiger Woods humiliates his Swedish wife, then Øbumbler humiliates the Norwegian King.
What is it that these mixed-race American superstars have against Scandinavians?
Mr. niteowl77
LOL, excellent point. When Hussein is done, they’ll finally understand what arrogance really is. It’s just too bad that they’ll conflate what this jumped-up ghetto thug does, with Americans, as more “proof” of American arrogance. I wish we could start a huge movement to disown him.
“Don’t make me throw a temper tantrum. I want my way or I won’t see the king or do all the things you want me to do as the new Nobel peace prize winner and give me the prize when and how I want!!”
I just thought BHO might need the plan to backup his actions!!
He doesn't have to go.

It’s a European constitional monarch, hence unworthy of 0bama’s bow. He only bows to monarchs that are despots or sit on thrones formerly occupied by war criminals.
Obamao Bowed Out.
He only bows to tyrants or to those who, he thinks, are tyrants.
well, Obama sure would...he’s basically, er, uninterested in that....now put Larry Sinclear there and
The constitution is just a piece of paper, FRiend.
He’ll be missing HER?? Maybe the stories of him being a fudge packer in college was true hmmm..
Good, these dumb socialists deserve to be snubbed by another socialist. They gave the Nobel Peace Prize for the sole reason that they see him as a socialist who can weaken the USA domestically via socialism and abroad via defeatism and appeasement.
Low class trash.
Obama sure is a piece of work.
I still have hard time believing that America was stupid enough to elect him.
Let me guess. King Harald is — blond, blue-eyed, and Caucasian??????
IMHO, they should have given Princess Madeleine the Nobel Piece Prize, er, Peace Prize.
You are right, he is a racist from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. The King is an old white man and zero can’t be bowing to no white man, not in this life time.
