OBAMA - Nobel Peace Prize??? WTF!?!?!
 

In my whole life I never witnessed such cynicism...
A President at War = Nobel Peace Prize???

I feel bad for him. He has been very dignified in his response to this. He understands that he doesn't deserve this price and has come out with a good response.

he sits with generals everyday, and he's commander in chief of the major stockpile of nuclear weapons!

I'm an obama fan and even i think this is weird
he was only in office 10-12 days when the NPP was voted on..

btw.. when have we not been at war ;)

The war doesn't have anything with winning or not winning a nobel peace prize. Its usually a major contribution to society that changes the lives of many people for the better that get these things.

How he beat out the other entrants this year, will probably be a major conspiracy theory for a long long time, considering he really hasn't done much of anything for humanity.

Well...

A person cannot nominate themselves for the prize. It has to come from someone else. For the Peace Prize this includes these groups -
1. Members of national assemblies and governments of states;
2. Members of international courts;
3. University rectors; professors of social sciences, history, philosophy, law and theology; directors of peace research institutes and foreign policy institutes;
4. Persons who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
5. Board members of organizations who have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize;
6. Active and former members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; (proposals by members of the Committee to be submitted no later than at the first meeting of the Committee after February 1);
7. Former advisers appointed by the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

The nomination process is here:

The press release is here:

We'll see if he lives up to the honor or not. Only history will be able to tell on that.

Well he sits and signs orders for air strikes on Pakistan's border and Afghanistan... so if for some stupid reason a civilian dies... where is peace attained?

TIME, CNN, NYT have a poll (and he's losing in all of them) :)

He is the leader of a country involved in the following wars:

Afghanistan
Operation Enduring Freedom - Philippines
Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa
Iraq War
North-West Pakistan
Operation Enduring Freedom - Trans Sahara

This just highlights the absurdity that is the Obama cult.

George Bush should have won it.

not.
