What an F’n JOKE!

[Venturer]

The Peace prize has been a joke for years now. They gave one to Arafat, that should have told everyone what it was worth.

Unbelievable. All I have seen everywhere I go is how Obama has been causing DIVISION in this nation, NOT peace. In light of the fact that the committee specifically mentioned is "reaching out to the Muslim world" as a reason, the following passage appears to be true more every day:

Luke 18:8 "I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

[svcw]

Wow. What an f’n joke.

At least the IOC wasn’t blinded by the light of the radiant one. Not that i disagree with our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, but how does one win a peace prize when his entire party ran on the slate that he would end the war. The One hasn’t pulled troops out of either country, so technically he is still waging war. I guess you can get a prize if you talk out both sides of your mouth. Maybe he will convert the Dish Room into his Nobel Prize holding room in the White House.

[TheErnFormerlyKnownAsBig]

The Nobel Committee needs to turn itself into Snopes for impersonating relevance.

[Vanbasten]

It is a joke.

So, in this decade the prize has gone to 2 democrat presidents and a runner up. Carter, Gore, and now Obama.

Yeah, there is nothing political about the prize!

[GoldenPup]

Obviously a RACIST decision.

[Dallas59]

THIS IS WEIRD!!!!

[aomagrat]

It’s just a consolation prize for losing the olympics.

[sphinx]

I guess the Norwegians are lobbying against a surge in Afghanistan.

[Doogle]

...this just might push the narcissistic one over the edge.
You know the water cooler discussions later on are all going to start with...”what has he done?”....*grins*

[IamConservative]

The nominations for the Nobel Prize were turned in 2 weeks after The One was sworn in. In reality, they just gave a Nobel Prize for campaign rhetoric.

All about the feelings you know. Results be damned.

[verga]

This is sad an pathetic at the exact same time

[bvw]

The world elite says:

America you loser, no Olympics for you.

Obama you winner, we must give you Winning Prize!

Amerikkka bad, Obama good.

[Dallas59]

Whose next? Roman Polanski?

[Doogle]

..another field trip for him to bow, so humbly

[Brouhaha]

I just saw this at the BBC News website. Thankfully, I hadn't started sipping my coffee when I received the news. I hate beginning my work day by cleaning my monitor.

I can't even begin to countenance the absurdity of Barack Obama receiving recognition for anything. I don't know how he's the president of the United States and I don't know what he's done (actually done) to stop nuclear proliferation.

I suppose, however, that he is in good company on the Nobel Prize front: Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter and Al Gore. When I look at it that way, it kind of makes sense.

This world is truly FUBAR.

[Onelifetogive]

Arafat and Carter each have one, Reagan does not. The sooner the committee admitted Obama was more like Carter or Arafat than Reagan, the better...

[Dallas59]

When’s the Coronation?
