When I first saw this, I had to stare at it for tens of seconds to convince myself it wasn’t a Scrabbleface article. This is just a disgrace—the guy hasn’t done ANYTHING yet. Its beyond me why would they torpedo their credibility by giving him a Nobel prize at this point in time. We all know its rigged, but now they just made it blantently obvious that its a liberal beauty contest. At least wait till the guy gets out of office. Sheeze.

If Obama (or whomever is writing his scripts) had any decency or humility, he’d come out this morning with an announcement declining to accept the award — while he appreciates that the committee made their decision based on his intentions and actions to date [barf!], only time will tell if and when he deserves the honor. [double barf!]

What does G-d have in mind for us?

A friend texted me this morning calling him a "false prophet"...

This is a joke, right?

More warp speed absurdity.

Obviously a meaningless award. JCarter, YArafat and now BHO. So profoundly absurd it is an insult to anyone who takes it seriously.

Not unexpected. See, the Nobel Peace Prize is only awarded to dictators and avowed Marxists these days. My only surprise is that it took this long.

"...giving him an undeserved prize that he will now feel he has to live up to."

This just may be the logic to the madness - a Preemptive Peace Prize!

LOL! The world socialists rally with a "BOOBY PRIZE" after Obama's EPIC FAIL attempting to bring the Olympics to the ganglands of Chicago.

Nothing says "credibility" LESS than joing the likes of Jimmy Carter and Yassar "Why didn't it detonate?" Arafatass with a Nobel Piss Prize.

A closet-worthy award for a closet-case pResident.

Thanks.

Just an opportunity to point out to those not paying attention how bogus this prize has become.

This is very good news.

It simultaneously soils Obama and the Liberals-Only Nobel Committee.

VERY good news. No one need take either seriously ever again.

Yes, Welcome to the Twilight Zone!Aaah! It’s a horror show!
Who are the freaking lunatics who would give him a prize like that? Anyone have addresses so we can right to express our outrage! Barack Obama is a NO Bell prize winner meaning he’s a big Ding Dong! And the people who voted to give him such a prize must be the biggest collection of screw loose idiots alive or else they just did this to show what a nacissist a-s the man really is. A humble, considerate & compassionate person who knows they have done nothing to deserve a prize would not accept it and laud praises on those who really deserve it.

Now that I’ve responded one time, I am wondering is this SATIRE? It has to be a lampoon or something . . .

You wrote: “I read somewhere that he became president 2 weeks before the last date for filing of nominations for the prize!”

Interesting, makes me think they did decide to make a bigger a-s out of him by giving him this prize. I can’t imagine that the electors weren’t bought off, threatened, intoxicated or drugged. Something is rotten in Stockholm.
