A prize for not being George W. Bush.
This year's awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama can only hasten the decline in prestige of an award that has already gone to people like Yasser Arafat, UN General Secretary Kofi Annan (who presided over the Iraqi oil-for-food scam) and the fabulist Guatemalan activist Rigoberta Menchu. For this year's Nobel, the deadline was February 1, barely ten days after Mr. Obama had assumed the presidency. Though the Nobel committee of five Norwegian politicians presumably considered the evidence over the summer, it's fair to say their award represents little more than wishful thinking that Mr. Obama's diplomatic efforts will ultimately bear fruit.

Just another sharp stick in the eye of God-fearing, freedom-loving Americans. That’s all this is. This is how the commies get their thrills. Like the Bozos of Oslo, Obama hates this country so that provides them all with twice the tingle.

To: GOP_Lady
Obama is an instant immunity against being called a racist for the next 20 years, or so many of his followers believe. Show overt support for Obama, either by putting a bumper sticker on your car, a sign on your lawn, or by giving him a Nobel prize, and you can't be accused of racism. It's a deal that's just too good to pass up. The "legitimate" Nobel prizes for chemistry, medicine, physics, whatever, are almost exclusively awarded to caucasians and light-skinned asians. This puts the Nobel organization in jeopardy, long-term. They give Obama a throwaway BS peace prize, also awarded to mass-murderer and mass-destroyer Yasir Arafat, and they are off the hook for a long, long time.
Or so they think.
When Obama hits the fan, his support will vanish in a flash. He'll no longer be black. He'll be half-black, at best. He'll probably "become white" as far as the media's concerned. All these gestures will go up in smoke with him.

Imagine a dozen academic elites...who rarely travel outside of Norway except to frequent with elite circles in other upscale countries...and they sit there over the entire summer discussing how the President should win but there’s no foundation for accomplishment. Day after day...you debate against your associate...describing how you admire the President in what he says, but you can’t lay out accomplishments?
At some point, you meet and all vote. You toss out the guys who have spent decades working for peace, or putting their lives at risk for peace, or actually accomplishing factual things. This is the best you can do. So you vote and go home...smiling.
These guys are losers....pure and simple.

What are they smoking in Oslo? Obviously, crack. Or The Chosen One’s pole. Or both.

I can't believe that they didn't consider that giving him this award would make him a laughing stock.
He is truly a joke(r).

Imagine a dozen academic elites... Five (5), actually. Politicians for the most part, of the liberal Norsk persuasion.
