The award of this years Nobel peace prize to President Obama will be met with widespread incredulity, consternation in many capitals and probably deep embarrassment by the President himself.
Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of Americas first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.

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???
It SHOULD but the spin will be sickening.
No, this is just added mockery. Arafat and his terror supporting buddy Jim the Dim Carter helped lock mockery onto that award.
How many lives have been snuffed out before they began by 0bama’s abortion policies? and he gets the Peace Prize.
Mm, Mm, Mm!!
Barrack Hussein Obama!!!
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.
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.
When does dear leader and his sidekick leave to lobby for the prize. I hope it goes over better then their attempt at olympic wrestling
go to cnn.com and take the poll does obama deserve to win the peace prize
,right now 56% say no and 44% say no
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.
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.
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.
There must be a mistake here.
I believe he was awarded The APPEASE Prize.
ABSURD is the correct definition of the award itself .
Over at Dummie land they are praising him for all the things he has done while President..and not even recognizing that Obama had to be nominated about 10 days after put into office.

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!
