"a lot of people who are never going to have the credentials, experience, education and training to run for high public office" = "and the votes!"

These are one and the same.

You don't have to be politically educated to understand there is something wrong with this Nobel decision.

There are people every where without jobs because of the economy, layoffs, etc who watched and read where Obama spent literally thousands on a "date night" with his wife. Sure, he should indulge in a few luxuries as president, but when your nation is going through a financial crisis and people are literally going hungry isn't good timing for it.

And I'm sure even those educated with enough credentials would agree with the OP. Obama's advice to CEOs who were/are facing bankruptcy (ex General Motors) at the time was to stop taking the corporate jet for trips to vegas, etc ...
