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.

Neville Chamberlain got screwed!

I checked out the Le Monde and Der Speigel sites using Google Translate.

The comments range from “I love you Obama” to “Hope Hope” to “It’s too early, he hasn’t **had a chance** to do much yet.”

A handful express disappointment that he hasn’t yet carried out his planned retreats and appeasments, or his global warming destructiveness.

The Euroweenies love our Socialist president, so much HOPE.

No surprise. Most winners are either anti-american, BS artists or terrorists. Al Gore, Nelson Mandela, Yassir Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, the UN all won and all despise and/or are envious of the US.

Guessing who’s going to win the NP is like guessing which nut shell the ball is under. I’m shocked it wasn’t given posthumesely to Ted Kennedy! Next time could be Barney Frank. Let your imagination run wild.

WELL! ZERO HUSSEIN has finally OUTDONE JIMMAH EARL CARTER and ALBERT “NITWIT” GORE! What a Badge of IDIOCY the Nobel Peace Prize has Become!and what a Slap in the Face to the Jewish People Worldwide! even those 90% who Voted for OBOZO! Do the Israeli’s agree with this award to ZERO?

"The prize seems to be more IS for Obama's promise Left-wing politics rather than for his performance."

There. Fixed it.

AP Analysis: Obama's Nobel honors promise, not action

It took several hours, but AP finally found a positive spin to put on it.

The Nobel Peace prize has been a joke for a long time. This just turned it into a stupid joke.

[Chaffer]

An absurd and shameless example of political correctness.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Pretty much everything Obama has ever gotten has either been because of white guilt or because of irrational belief he might eventually accomplish something.

[RaiderRose]

Even my lib friends on facebook are baffled. This isn’t going to go over well.

And I was wondering, can I get a law degree from Harvard right now if I just promise to go some day? Come on. I promise. :D

[TexasCajun]

I would look for George Soros hand in this somehow.

Soros holds the purse-strings to the world's America-Hating organizations that love our America-Hating Resident.

I actually heard Dianne Sawyer call it a "Gold Medal", like the Nobel Prize was some sort of redemption from Obamah's Olympic bid embarrassment.

He did bring all that peace with the Beer Summit

[RhoTheta]

"The last sitting U.S. president to win the peace prize was Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The other was Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. Jimmy Carter had been out of office for more than two decades when he won in 2002." - CNN

Noted progressives, all.

an astute FReeper, kevinm13, pointed out that:

"What was the Nobel committee thinking? The deadline for the nominations was Feb. 1, so Barry was in office for what, 10 days give or take. What did they think he had done or promise to do? He spent 147 days in the Senate and voted “present” about a dozen times (many more as an IL State Senator), he spent most of 2007 and all of 2008 until election day campaigning."

"Oh wait, the prize must be for work that he did in the summer... the beer summit at the White House where he accused a white police officer of racism because he arrested a beligerent black man who was acting suspicious, who also happened to be a FOB (friend of Barry). Then he had to invite both of them to the WH because he was wrong for the accusation and it seemed like the thing to do. And, he made Europe less safe by taking down the missile defense shield in Poland. Yeah, that is it."

It just goes to show how corruption is global, and includes the Norsky Nobel Peace Prize Committee. Another FReeper, orgiveme, pointed out that the Committee must have read the "Left Behind" series.

Cue and sustain indefinitely the sycophantic, obsequious standing ovations!

[dez]

When I first saw the headline I thought it was from The Onion. Obama has done nothing to even merit consideration for the award. What a worthless piece of dreck the Nobel Peace Prize has become.

[delphirogatio]

In related news, Miley Cyrus has been announced as the winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics, tween video at 11:00.

[beejaa]

When I heard it on the radio, I thought it was just some dumb joke, but then I went online.

It’s a huge slap in the face to the American people. Let this guy destroy a government of the people, by the people and for the people and the rest of the world loves it. The rest of the world (well, not all of it) hates American people for who we are. That’s my reaction.

[workerbee]

For one of America's youngest presidents, in office less than nine months — and only for 12 days before the Nobel nomination deadline last February — it was an enormous honor. JOKE.

I heard they're giving him the Medal of Freedom when he takes a dump later this afternoon.

[TexasFreeper2009]

This fits perfectly with everything else Obama has accomplished in life.

Everything he has achieved in life was given to him based not on what he actually DID, but instead for the promise of what thing imagine he might be able to do.
