The Nobel Peace prize has been reduced to total excrement by this formerly prestigious award being given to this fraud.
Obama had barely found the bathroom in the WH when they voted to award him this "prize." How long before that was his name placed in nomination? They admit, I understand, that it was for what they expected of his presidency, rather than anything he actually had done. Can you say, "bribe?" I knew you could.

There are laws against presidents receiving substantial gifts. It certainly violates the spirit if not the letter of this constitutional provision, as well:

No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
But by taking away the authority of a Republican governor to fill unexpired Senate terms by appointment and restoring that authority to a Democratic governor upon the death of Senator Ted, the Democrats of Massachusetts showed how unimportant mere laws are, in comparison to the convenience of Democrats.

The Nobel committee has jumped the shark.

Excellent points we need to consider.
