I was away in the bushes over the weekend so I am just gathering news - I mean Obama wins a Nobel prize is shocking and surprising of all the news.

Please what did he do to be awarded, I didn't get it - must be that what is creative has changed

He has accomplished not one thing that he campaigned on as of yet. To be fair he's only been in office for nine months but the fact still remains. Must have been a thin pool to draw from for these Norwegians.

well do just nothing and you just might be rewarded.

what a farce! I am so disappointed.

If I am doing my thesis now based on some likely possibility that my models make a difference in the future can I have one of those for economics. I feel like people who really work hard have nothing to strive for

Good thing its Swedes handing out the Nobel Prize.

In defence of Obama, you could say his campaign across Europe and the Middle East would have helped him out. But surely there must have been someone else.

although it is my deepest hope that obama will earn this honor. to have bestowed in advance and without merit ruins the reputation of the award lessening the accomplishments of those who have earned it.

At least he didn't get it for economics

No, but he did get it and probably deserves it more than others who have received it. Let's face it, attaining peace in the world is isimpossible, but anyone who puts a foot forward and tries, certainly deserves something for their efforts.

No, but look who did. Another American. Probably one of those whose ideas lead to this same economic collapse, dragging down others around the world... Congratulations for that one too!

Nobel prize? Pshaaww

Brilliant! NOT!

[Sir Bandelot]

Brilliant is giving the nobel peace prize to a man who has just recently threatened Iran with war, who already stepped up the troop levels (and consequently violence) in Afghanistan and is now considering how best to escalate the war even further in Afghanistan. And said he's not interested in ending the "war" on drugs either. Even more brilliant is getting all sorts of people emotionally hyped up over his image, believing he is unilaterally going to make an about-face in US foreign policy.

Deluded people, we should have seen this coming

Obama's foreign policy role models?
March 29th 2008
GREENSBURG, Pa. - Sen. Barack Obama said Friday he would return the country to the more "traditional" foreign policy efforts of past presidents, such as George H.W. Bush, John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

Ronald Reagan no less...
Isn't he hailed as the grandfather of the US Neocon movement? Oh yeah

What do you mean...it's not like you had any choice in the matter. Obama is president of the same United States as before.

And what did he do for peace in this first 15 days in office?

[scriblett]

Actually it shouldn't have been too surprising considering the adoration he's given from the left. Knowing that this committee pretty much lists to port side, it shouldn't be surprising that they are using this prize as a means of furthering their own agenda, via Obama.
