Since Yasser Arafat, father of modern terrorism, won the Nobel Peace prize in 1994 the award has become politicized to the point of irrelevancy. Arguably the most unqualified president elected in American history, the community organizer, adjunct professor of law, and senator from Illinois received the Nobel Peace Prize just 9 months after being in office having accomplished nothing. The question begs, why now is the Nobel Committee suffering from "Buyer's Remorse"? What agenda has he not accomplished that had hoped?

The Nobel Committee must have hoped that the socialistic Chrislamic American President was going to usher in an age of Islamic-Christian social brotherhood with the homophilic western world (Jews excluded). They must have thought that the "pro-abortion", "pro-sodomy", "anti-christian", "pro-muslim", "anti-constitution", and "anti-semitic" president was the one to realize this. What has Barack Hussein Obama done in reality? He has destabilized the tenuous middle east order and destroyed its Christianity. He has built ISIS (or ISIL as he calls it) from the ground up with its new title of most dangerous terror organization in the world. He has created a refugee crises bringing millions of Islamists to roost in Europe, and through his push for open borders he has weakened all the nations of the world. Perhaps the Nobel Committee sees now that their mistake may result in the change their award from "Nobel" to "Mohammed Prize", because this is Europe's bold new future...thanks to Obama...

the panel had expected the award to somewhat challenge Obama, who received the Nobel Peace Prize during his first term.

So it's given for what the committee hopes you'll do rather than for what has been done. A narcissist would probably see the prize as his due just for being such a fantastic human being.

Obama well deserves this prize. He's made it his life's mission to be just like the award.

I would argue that it is a “liberal panderer’s remorse”, in that the Peace Prize committee was dominated by the left to far left of Norway’s political parties. Like the skin-color voters in 2008, it was a near irresistible desire demonstrate one’s progressive fellowship to Obama as he became the second black President although the first one that would convince a camera.

So it’s a tool not a prize then? They give it expecting to manipulate outcomes.

I’ve met Lundestad. FWIW, he has about eight fingers total (approximately, I didn’t want to stare). The story is that he lost a few in a power tool accident.

That is what happens when you give an award prospectively.

An army of opponents noted that Obama had made no foreign policy achievements worthy of the prize in less than nine months in office.

Yet Dubya was excoriated endlessly because 9/11 happened nine months into his first term.

Progressive hypocrites are alike all over the world.

OK, so the Noble “prize” isn’t an award so much as it is an incentive.
Uff da!

Gee, I wonder why they might regret giving the Nobel Peace Prize to a person who had done absolutely nothing at all to earn it. It’s obvious that he got the prize because he was black and at the time it seemed the appropriate thing to do, even though he had done nothing to earn it. What this in fact did was show that the Nobel Peace Prize was an absolute nothing. Since then, it is viewed as a joke.

I reckon most people don't care by now, because nominating Obozo as a candidate for this "award" within a couple weeks of his inauguration, before he had even done anything, forever cheapened the Nobel Peace Prize beyond recovery.
That everything Obozo has done has been a complete disaster built on a cascade of lies only further diminishes the Nobel Committee's judgement.
