President Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

I think you are right. The commitee is trying to sway his decision on Afghanistan by guilt trip.

You know who actually votes on this thing, right?

The Nobel Prize for Peace is an extension of the Norwegian government .....a socialist nation to the core. The members are all officials at some level of the Norwegian government.

It is nothing more than an ad hoc endorsement for socialism by socialists. They are hoping to steer and continue to influence him toward their causes and desired outcomes.

Winning a "Nobel Prize" simply does not mean what it used to. It has not for a long time. When a career terrorist can win a prize for peace, you loose all credibility.

Next thing you know, I will be given an award for liberal thought and political correctness.

Its not Obamas fault they gave him this award.

If someone listed a Nobel Peace Prize as there greatest award, I would have the same respect for that person as for someone who won an academy award. A small group of narrowminded individuals thinks your just swell.

The Guinness Book of Records used to have relevant sports achievements, not random nonsense of obscure improbabilities having no relevance to anyone except the freak show audience.

This NPP seems to heading in that direction. It's got a ways to go though. It's just part of the progressive endumbening of the world, where no "gold standard" is too low.

Why don't we all just listen to the man himself??? :)

From the Times Online:

“To be honest, I do not feel I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have been honoured by this prize." ... Barack Obama


I, for one, am marching in lockstep with our President. :)

Obama now joins Yasser "drive Israel into the sea" Arafat (1994), Kofi "Oil-for-Food" Annan (2001), as well as other completely worthless people such as Jimmy Carter (2002) and Al "false hysteria and hypocrisy is more deserving of the Nobel Prize than a woman who hid Jews in her house during WWII" Gore (2007). I predict either Castro or even Osama bin Laden himself will win 2010.

So was who released it, and when:
I realize it's hard to read entire news articles, but maybe you missed the part - at the beginning - where it's explained that the chair of the committed that awards the prize is putting forth those points. The AP is reporting on them.

Seriously though, field-specific Nobel Prizes are pretty legit.

Peace Prize.... not so much...
