So, they give the Nobel prize in hopes they MIGHT do something great, huh? What a dumb thing to do.

Nobel's former secretary, Geir Lundestad, told the media that he thought giving Obama the award would spur him to great accomplishments.

So, they gave the award in the hope that Obama would live up to it? Is this from a satire site?

He may have regrets, but in the hypothetical - if he was in the exact same situation 100 times, he’d do the same thing 100 times. And, that is with prior knowledge of the repetitions.

Trump should ban this @$$hole from the US entirely. Stupidity and pathetic virtue-signaling should have consequences.

He had the same qualification of nearly every American to get the Peace Prize: he wasn’t George W. Bush. That’s it.

I didn’t know there was a Peace prize for doing nothing before doing nothing.

The Committee shouldn’t worry. Most of us already knew it was a sham Prize after Carter won it in 2002......for brokering the Nucelar Non-Proliferation Treaty with North Korea, who promptly turned around two weeks later and announced that it had Nuclear weapons. I no longer pay any attention to most of the awards, but especially the Peace Prize......after Gore won it over Mother Teresa, who died shortly thereafter. But especially when Obama won it over Irene Sendler, who had actually saved many Jewish lives during the Holocaust. Don’t ever let it be said that the Nobel Prize Committee isn’t POLITICAL!

The Nobel Peace Prize became a joke after it was awarded to the man who plotted the terrorist attacks at the Munich Olympic Games, Yasser Arafat.

Come come, they let Obama into the open border of the Nobel piece prize because they were hoping he’d do something to deserve their decision to let him cross the borderline of expectations.

That's OK.

0's clean and articulate. And the gesture is loaded with inclusiveness and diversity...and stuff.

Thanks for the peace prize. Now I’m going to bomb the snot out of Libya, try to overthrow Egypt, and perpetuate a civil war in Syria. I might release a few terrorists from Gitmo for good measure.

I was jealous back in 2009, because, the Nobel prize committee did not grant me the prize for Astrophysics were I expected to discover the time before the big bang. I didn’t get the prize, so, the time before the big bang will have to wait for somebody else to discover it.

I will also not find the cure for cancer, since, I also didn’t get the Biology Nobel prize.

BTW, and all kidding aside, Trump actually deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, since he’s done a lot more to keep and preserve the peace, than any president in recent history. But, he’s of the ‘wrong’ political persuasion, so, he’ll have to switch parties in order to get it.

This says less about Obama than it does about the Nobel Peace Prize. Its worthless, trendy symbolism. I really don’t care who gets it anymore. Idiots like this guy destroyed the brand.

It’s not shocking that these nobel idiots fawned over 0bama. What’s shocking is that even one of them admitted his idiocy. However, if you’re an idiot you’re still an idiot rather you admit or not.

bammy gave money to a sponsor of terrorism. He should be in jail, not receiving any prizes.

Yet they have no regrets about giving the prize to Yasser Arafat, the founder of modern Islamic terrorism. Ever since then, it automatically became an insult to get one.

he thought giving Obama the award would spur him to great accomplishments. Instead, Obama did nothing of note over the next eight years.

so....you discovered that Barry was lazy.
Myth Confirmed.
