Obama was only 12 days into his presidency when the nominations were closed - so I'm not aware of any big accomplishments of his before that, or during the 12 days.

Maybe because he was born half black? Or maybe because they are just adding to his hidden other sealed records, like his grades & anything about him, except what he 'wrote' in his books.

Everything about this guy is getting pretty hard to swallow.

Now the decision is - should he go to Oslo to accept it. Any bets on what the answer will be???

No, this is just added mockery. Arafat and his terror supporting buddy Jim the Dim Carter helped lock mockery onto that award.

This seems like a very racist and insulting move the more I think about it. Its like giving the ‘special’ children (in the minds of the judges) trophies for participating when they didn’t actually do well.

While the Media spin will be nauseating I think this will drive him to act even more against the will and best interests of the American people. Dems will have to decide. Either turn on him to save their political skins or stay on his sinking ship.

How about when these clowns gave it to Gorbachev for losing the cold war and Reagan did not get one for winning it. I assumed at that time that it was a consolation prize.

I think that this is fantastic news.

The morning talk radio show that I listen to occasionally pretends to be "Fair and Balanced" but they're really huge libs and big BO supporters. They just have an occasional nod to conservatives...that's all.

Anyhoo - even these liberal grunts were like: "What? They gave it to Obama?! This is a really, really dumb move! He hasn't earned it yet! I'm sick and tired of this cheerleading!!"

And so on.

A FReeper posited that instead of Health Care being BO's Waterloo, that something trivial would pop up instead. Between the (ig)Nobel Prize, and the Olympics....I'm in agreement. BO may have just jumped the shark.

No, the mockery of the Nobel Peace Prize occurred when it was awarded to Yasser Arafat. Since then, it has been a shame and a sham.

It's pretty obvious that this is for the One's own unique version of détente,
creating a synthesis of democratic liberalism and Soviet Communism.
And for appointing Fabian Socialists and Communists as cabinet czars.


He has also helped to create international cooperation
and mutual understanding among our allies.

If the Nobel Peace Prize were legitimate, George W. Bush would have received one.

It's slmost a good thing that this incompetant boob got the prize. If Arafat and Jimmy Carter didn't render it meaningless, this certainly will.

Everyone with a brain knows that Obama has done NOTHING for peace. Even his leftist lackeys know that.

I believe he was awarded The APPEASE Prize.

Obama is the first post-American President. No wonder the award is so fitting!

Even my lesbian, liberal roommate is confused. She can’t get over how stupid this is. Best thing to happen for the Right in a while. Give him an Oscar while you’re at it!
