Rarely has an award had such an obvious political and partisan intent. It was clearly seen by the Norwegian Nobel committee as a way of expressing European gratitude for an end to the Bush Administration, approval for the election of Americas first black president and hope that Washington will honour its promise to re-engage with the world.
Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace.
The spectacle of Mr Obama mounting the podium in Oslo to accept a prize that once went to Nelson Mandela, Aung San Suu Kyi and Mother Theresa would be all the more absurd if it follows a White House decision to send up to 40,000 more US troops to Afghanistan.
...has been for some time. I equate the Nobel shit to an international political Oscar/Emmy/Grammy/GoldenGlobe type thing such as when a select group of idiots selects a few amongst themselves to be patted on the back and given accolades for being popular and a really good ass-kisser.Looks like winning a Noble Peace Prize is like pulling a prize out of a box of Cracker Jacks. In my mind, it has become a meaningless award. Carter won it. Gore won it. Now Obama. Proves to me it is a bullshit award these days.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!!That's crazy, isn't it, giving the peace prize to someone who is trying to bring back the idea of diplomacy. They should give it to a guy like Bush, who follows his VP into an oil war, that benefits the company he used to work for, Halliburton, and creates two wars without end, right?
Peace, what an absurd idea, everyone knows we're supposed to repeat the war-mongers Rush and O'Reilly, who say we need constant war, and those kind of guys should win the peace price, right, the ones who constantly fan the flames of death and destruction.
I keep wondering what happens to people like you right-wingers when you finally find out you've been standing upside down on your head all this time, where up is down, and down is up. How will you right yourselves, how will you get your legs back after all the atrophy?
Barry is on the air now talking about how much he 'deserves' it.
What a douche.

well actually if became a mockery when they gave it to arafat, carter, and gore.
If it had any credibility left, its gone now.well actually if became a mockery when they gave it to arafat, carter, and gore.

See this is why you idiots have zero credibility. Al Gore did NOT win the Peace Prize. He SHARED the Nobel Peace Prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (a helluva lot of other people).
The brits are not as easily fooled as some of our Barry lovers bones.
The award is a joke now, not an 'honor.'
