Right wing spin?
OK...so tell me...exactly what had he done at the point of being offered the prize to wearrant it......Promise to close GITMO? Promise to get the troops out of Iraq? Or was it his speeches about world peace and US/ISlam relations?
What did he actually MAKE HAPPEN that warranted the award?
You say it was spin....so tell me.....name something that he actually DID.....A little research wouldn't kill you.......
"Unlike the scientific and literary Nobel Prizes, usually issued in retrospect, often two or three decades after the awarded achievement, the Peace Prize has been awarded for more recent or immediate achievementshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Prize#List_of_laureates."

"The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to U.S. President Barack Obama "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the award on October 9, 2009, citing Obama's promotion of nuclear nonproliferation and a "new climate" in international relations fostered by Obama, especially in reaching out to the Muslim world."
A LOT o' people saw Obama as a significant-change......
I suggest you read what I write before criticizing it.
I agreed that he received the award based on speeches other people wrote for him.
Welllllllll.....that'd make you wrong.....and, I've already posted why he was chosen. Go-ahead & buy some more "blanks", though.
