A very bad episode - the one where America capitulates after 9/11 by electing a Muslim president in the hopes of appeasing our adversaries and things go horribly wrong.

Ahahahahah for what? Putting up with his wife?

Obamania goes berserk. I read somewhere that he became president 2 weeks before the last date for filing of nominations for the prize!

This is going to make him look pretty stupid, because even Obama lovers are starting to think that this is a liiiiitttle biiiiitt too much!

When did the Nobel Prize become an encouragement award?

These guys are eminent Leftist “intellectuals who are trying to give Hussein a boost in the 2012 election and by reflection his party a boost in 2010. His name will not be spoken or written without that attachment.

Yasser Arafat also won the Nobel Peace Prize, so what is it worth?

the NPP lost most of it’s credibility when they awraded it to Arafat. What little it had left, it lost when they gave it to Carter and some hack on the award committe admitted they gave it to Carter in order to embarrass Bush. Now to give it to some clueless fool who’s done nothing, renders it completely meaningless.

If one hates America, decries free enterprise and capitalism, apologizes up the wazoo because America is so evil, done nothing in foreign policy, allowed Iran and North Korea to proliferate and maintain a nuclear arsenal, while trying to reduce ours, then you win the Nobel Peace Prize. Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm!

Barack Hussein Obama, Al Gore, Jimmuh Carter...all fit the above description and have each won the award.

Just another `kick in the leg’ to George W. Bush.

Who cares what these Eurotrash globalists think?

The Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke for decades. Remember these?
Jimmy Carter, Kofi Annan, Jody Williams - and we can’t forget Yasser Arafat, Henry Kissinger and Le Duv Tho.

I’m with you, big freakin’ deal. He has won the same award a Yasser Arafat! We will be hearing about this ad nauseum for days now, like he’s not in our faces enough already. The Fox News morning crew had that deer in the headlights kind of look though, kinda funny.
