The context appears to describe state sponsored gifts, which the Nobel is not.

I work for a major American aerospace firm, and we can’t give gifts worth more than $20 to any government agent ... might be seen as an attempt to buy favor.

Soooooo when a President, hypothetically, gets $1 million or so, for things he hasn’t yet done but is considering maybe doing, from a foreign entity who may wish to sway his actions ... that’s just peachy?

It's awarded by the Norwegian parliament. That's a foreign government.

Yes, but it refers to “title” as well. In accepting the prize, he claims the title of “Nobel Peace Laureate”

"U.S. Code Title 5, Part III, Subpart F, Chapter 73, Subchapter IV, Section 7342: Receipt and disposition of foreign gifts and decorations.

He, nor anyone else follows Constitutional law nor even legislative U.S. Code law, which has many unConstitional statutes. But then, who's noticing?

He got the nomination some (2) weeks into his office. Won the prize for doing absolutely nothing. And now is the same category of Arafat, the "Intifada" sh#thead.

I'm going to be watching how his spinsters do their teleprompter thing. Obambi is not a stupid person. He knows he didn't deserve it, but he will be there to give major face to the fawning MSM and use the occasion to push his socialist health care agenda. Watch.

He will strut up to the podium, raise his chin and look down at the masses, and say all the expected words for the audience while reading his teleprompter in a sing-song manner. He will also probably give some words about World cooperation, as the Muslim shitheads are bombing the crap out of innocent civilians.

The upside, seems he won't be attending the Copenhagen meeting on Global Warming that is occurring within days of him accepting his worthless medal.

Reason being, the NWO "climate warming" re-distributionist commies don't have the votes to pass anything. The emerging markets of China, India, Russia, and others are saying no-go. Too bad - boohoo.

Cap and Tax is DOA. I firmly believe that obama,reid,pelosi care is also dead, or at least the government option, plus many other specifics of that horrific monstrosity.

If both the above happens, our Marxist Pre_sent is neutered. Give me gridlock!
