Rep Power: 288 | | | President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
WTF!?!?!?!?!?!
what the fuck has he done to promote peace? Quote: By KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE

OSLO -- President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president. In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize - washingtonpost.com as if they have ANY credibility left now

Seems awful premature to me though, I guess they like America taking blame for everything. |

Rep Power: 241 | | Seems to me travelling around the world..apologizing for the U.S.A. kicking the living shit out of terrorists...bowing to Saudi Kings and sucking up to the Eurotrash liberals is more akin to him winning the Appeaser of the Year Award.

Rep Power: 318 | | | Unfucking believable. We can now officially write that award off as absolutely MEANINGLESS. And we can assume the committee is full of idiots, retards and political hacks..

Rep Power: 0 | | | Did I miss some breakthrough international peace initiative spearheaded by President Obama?
Are they giving these things away with My Coke Rewards points or something?
Does snubbing the Dalai Lama equate to an express pass on the path to peace?
Keep an eye on your respective mailboxes folks, obviously they're giving these things away like sample packs of laundry detergent. | | The Following User Says Thank You to OldGlory For This Useful Post: | |

How much did this cost us - apart from the grovelling apology world tour.
What a crock of complete and utter crap. It's so ridiculous that it is actually funny! WTF seems somewhat inadequate as a summary.
