None of them have their own symbol!
They (or conservative tycoons like Steve Forbes) should divert some of the funds from their Prez. Libraries (or other projects) to found a "REAL Peace Prize Fund", that would honor actual heroes like the ones on this list or Irena Sendler, who was passed over for the Goron.
Then the "Nobel Appease Prizes" would fade into a deserved irrelevance!
He got this for bowing and kowtowing to Arab leaders. His contribution to peace was that he, the President of the United States, bowed and scraped before the leaders of tiny Arab nations. And he allowed it to be photographed while the leaders of Japan and other countries looked on and smirked.
They are rewarding him for his contribution to belittling the Presidency. Truly, we are the world. We are the children.
"Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."
No,these two would never do.Defiance of state authority doesn't play well in "progressive" Europe.For proof of that just chat with those hauled into court for questioning the "civility" of Europe's large,and growing,moslem population.
Reading the list, I would support any of these people as a Nobel Prize winner. The committee could have sent a strong human rights message by any of these selections and have supported diversity at the same time. But then they wouldn’t have necessarily sent the political message they are so intent on, would they?
Bump!
Thanks for the post, I was looking for this list.
Send em a nice letter...its good therapy!

Who nominated Obama and when?
Makes me want to weep. The $1.2 that goes with the award should be donated to the organizations represented in that group so it can do some good. I heard BHO is going to give it to charity, let it be those.
Oh yeah? Well if they were so important they’d have rich, powerful friends who could win them the Nobel Prize too.
I really think Obama with his message of how poor starving people can’t get ahead because of rich powerful people covering for each other makes a much more important statement. :)
PATHETIC!!!!
Did the USA just get punk’d?
I’m glad to know who lost out to him...and what they have been through and/or accomplished.
I’ll post this again because it so good. Other tapes din’t seem to have it. You can hear the very audible GASP! from the crowd when the name is announced. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7fE__1Qr8LM&feature=related and again here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52b5IHxqHrk&feature=related

ZERO expected and planned for this OUTRAGE against LOGIC and HUMANITY! Rememeber they had to apply for his Consideration with a Deadline a mere TWO WEEKS after ZERO made sure Pictures were transmitted around the MUSLIM WORLD showing HIM being Sworn in WITHOUT THE INFIDEL’S BIBLE!! ALSO, ZERO’S TRIP to COPENHAGEN just last week becomes HIGHLY SUSPECT! DID ZERO LOBBY with the NOBEL COMMITTEE The Week Just Prior to the AWARDING, Just as AL GORE DID THE WEEK before He “WON HIS PEACE PRIZE?!”
SOMETHING REALLY STINKS!
Has anyone ever won it multiple times?
The messiah is all set up to win it 4 or 5 more times!
There are a whopping FIVE members on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee.
FIVE.
Up unil a few years ago, I had more people voting on what’s for dinner than they have voting on the Peace Prize!
DISGRACIA!
