President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, in a surprise pick from the Norwegian Nobel Committee that cited the president's creation of a "new climate in international politics."

Is this April first? Where am I? It's Friday: is this Norway?
Basically won it for not being George Bush
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.
I’m just watching fox and friends and they have a guy saying bozo deserves it because he gave a speech to muslims in Egypt.
Er he gets it for a speech, and now the left try to spin this,
Yea two weeks in power before the deadline for nominations and he now wins this and they the left try to tell the world this is not a joke
He has one beer in Michelle’s garden and wins a prize? Sounds like the county fair.
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.
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 hope Zero’s universal healthcare pays to reattach my head after it explodes off my body
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
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).
Al Gore
Zero
'nufgh said about this "prize."
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.
That’s “PIECE” prize.
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.
nothing more than a consolation prize for failing to win the Olympics 2016... the libs needed to prop him up among other libs... conservatives could give a rat’s behind..!!
