Ugh. Russel Brand. I can't listen to him for more than a

couple seconds.
The Nobel Peace Prize took a big step backward the day they awarded it to Obama. And that's not a commentary on his politics. He had not done anything. Heck, if they wanted to acknowledge someone because of his "anti-Nuke" rhetoric, they could have awarded it to "the American people" for electing him. Of course, that's NEVER going to happen.

he is more popular outside the US, but that would put him just outside of the top 100 people with regard to twitter followers. So your personal opinions aside, a lot of people agree with him.

What "establishment" and what leads you to that conclusion?

I've never heard anyone in a serious position take him seriously. I certainly have never seen anyone seem scared of him.
Stewart and Colbert are the only two comedians I can think of that move the needle of serious people. I'm sure there are others.
I did watch him mock the crew on...Morning Joe? Whatever the MSNBC show is. They had him on and were basically clueless about him. At one point he was in disbelief asking them "So...this is what you DO? For a living?" Funny stuff. I've heard Get Him to the Greek was funny, but I've never seen it.

why would anyone in a serious position want to go there?
I take him as entertainment, but he does make some good points.
His spot on MSNBC was pretty funny BTW, I think Mika wanted him inside her.

lost in all this I hate Russell Brand banter, is that NOBODY else is uttering a word about this. All of you guys are OK with a Trillion Dollar expansion of our Nuclear Weapons Program?

half way through.
There's a lot going on there that I don't really understand. It sounds like Obama is claiming that in modernizing the nuclear arsenal, he actually is maintaining his promise to reduce the stockpile. Maybe, maybe not. It's semantics at that point.
The other issues under consideration are:
* Viewing this in the context of being a Nobel Prize winner for efforts to reduce nuclear arms. Since I already considered that awarding to be a farce (embarrassing to Obama to his credit and embarrassing to the Nobel Committee to their shame), I'm not concerned about this. The President of the United States doesn't make national security decisions based on how it would look as a Nobel Prize winner any more than a Secretary of State takes a stand on military operations based on his position during the Vietnam War as a soldier.
* The money - Of course we don't have it. This would have to get in line in terms of outrages in financial insanity in Washington.
* Nuclear disarmament - it sounds great. The whole world is for it but I'm okay with the U.S. keeping this bargaining chip real.
Not sure I'm doing your question justice but wanted to try to contribute to the conversation.

my understanding of this and other articles and a story I heard on NPR Staurday si that the door is left oven for that money to spent on any part of our arms program, meaning additional armaments. So a future POTUS has a lot of wiggle room with regard to how the money is spent.
and of course, crickets from even the loudest voices on the right and left on this one. looks like we will spend the week talking about the secret service instead.

No arguments from me on any point. Russell is right.
