Obama joins Arafat.

Is this April first? Where am I? It's Friday: is this Norway?

Thought it was a joke too when I woke up this morning.

I guess this is the “international community’s” way of sucking up to the One because he didn’t get the Olympics for Chicago.

Disgusting. Disgusting world.

He has one beer in Michelle’s garden and wins a prize? Sounds like the county fair.

He was in office for two weeks before the deadline closed for nominations and the man had done nothing....

The Nobel prize committee did continue their fine tradition of choosing people who are anti Israel and anti American......so we can give them props for consistency......

Yep, when all Bush did was free 25 million people from a sadistic tyrant.

This journalist missed the point. Obama was nominated before any of the stuff he mentions in the article ever took place.

Looks like affirmative action infects the IOC.

not even.

there was two weeks before the deadline for nominations and I would love to know who nominated him.
Even so what did bozo do in those two weeks which merit a nobel prize?

NOTHING

Even Obama’s fans will have to see this as a complete joke.

I hear he’s already favored to also win the World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, and Academy Awards.

No wonder he stiffed the Dalai Lama this week- he was afraid of being photographed with his competition for being the leader of world peace.

Now, stand by for moon bombing in 3-2-1

Question of the day: FOR WHAT?????

Disarming the U.S. and surrendering will always get an American praised by the International Socialist Movements. And unfortunately, the Nobel Committee has been on that list for some time.

The Nobel Peace Prize will henceforth be referred to as the Neville Chamberlain “Peace” Prize (for submitting to dictators and terrorists).

The joke about this Nobel Award was Obama was in office 2 weeks before the deadline of 1 Feb 2009 for nominations.

Did Obama really accomplish so much in his first 2 weeks as President to deserve a Nobel?

Of course not, Nobels have lost their significance once Al Gore and Jimmy Carter received them.

I think he won because he’s shown an anti ISRAEL sentiment which Europe agrees with. Regardless, this pick exposes just how political and biased these morons from Europe are.

Our troops dying in Afghanistan from a WAR. Iran, is ramping up its nuclear capability, and North Korea is doing who knows what, and Obama wins a Nobel Peace Prize. The sham of shams!
