What do you think of Obama's Nobel Prize? US President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009. Is he a worthy winner?

I think the real reason that 0bama got the prize was to try and put some subtle pressure on him not to escalate the war in Afghanistan.

Wha...?! Sheesh, he hasn’t even been in office a year. And I heard on the radio he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize after being in office only 11 days.
The Nobel Peace Prize has come to have no meaning at this point. It’s all about politics.

My theory is the Mr. Soros purchased it for Mr. Obama. It was a little consolation prize to help soothe the man child’s bruised ego after his disappointing visit to Copenhagan.

The Nobel Prizes are not awarded by referendum. A group of old men in Norway sift through a bunch of names and decide, for their own purposes, who gets THEIR prize. I didn’t know Kanye had so many brothers and sisters. “I’m gonna let you finish, but the Nobel Peace Prize should really go to…”

This comment was left on the BBC site.
“Apparently, he just missed out on the Nobel Prize in Economics for solving the financial crises as well as the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his health care plan!”
Classic sarcasm, love it.

No doubt he will wear his new bling every chance he gets just to remind the world he is now the King of it all.

Only this man can change the world.

I read probably 40 comments with about 90% being sarcastic and negative. But one of the few positives is like this above - innocent but silly. A little history will teach Khairu from Dhaka that God the Father can change the world with one earthquake.
