Seriously, what has he actually done to promote world peace? Seems more like a proactive award than anything.

Unbelievable. How ironic is it that he wins this "award" (hard to call it that because he hasn't done a thing to promote peace anywhere) on the eve or ordering more troops to Afghanistan.

 

Whatever credibility this "award" has is gone.

Its too soon, I think.

 

We haven't actually, I think, had the opportunity to see what good (or ill) his ideas, presidency and legacy will be.

Yeah, I guess those peacekeepers dying in Darfur trying to prevent the exploitation of children as soldiers don't really deserve a medal like this.

 

If I were Obama, I would refuse it.

 

Fun fact: they feed child soldiers a mixture of cocaine and gunpowder to make them more aggressive and psychotic during battle, since the gunpowder irritates their stomachs and the cocaine's effects are obvious.

It's a reward for deciding not to give international bodies the finger, you know, like Bush.
That's the Nobel Peace prize we're talking about, not the Nobel Sycophancy prize.

I actually saw a good comment on this on the BBC. The guy pointed out that like everyone else the President is on a receive now, pay later system.

 

 

This is daft. You can't just make speeches about peace and get the prize. Actually, wait, **** it.

 

*coughs*

 

Gentlemen it is my believe that we as a people must get into space through the use of gravitational drives and I will not rest until that is done.

 

 

 

Can I have a Nobel in physics now please?

Important thing to keep in mind! This award is actually NOT a true Nobel prize*! It's being awarded by Norwegians for crying out loud!

 

Sweden hereby strongly disassociates with this award.

Fun how?

 

:rolleyes:

 

Read (because I concede you might have missed it): not fun at all, and desperately sad.

He takes his place next to unequivocal proponents of peace and love like Yasser Arafat, Kissinger, Menachem Begin.

Norway isn't part of the EU. They've tried using the award to "make friends" before and they'll try it again. Hopefully this scam backfires on them. Again.

Thats true, not like this "award" has any credibility to begin with.

 

 

Still, if he had even a shred of integrity he would decline it. But his rampant narcissisim will not allow him to do that.

What do you mean he's done nothing? He gave away missile defense and is about to surrender in Afghanistan. It's no wonder Europeans love him.

 

But yeah, the Nobel peace prize has long ago become a joke, it's not like any more proof was needed.

He really ought to decline it. I hope that one day he does something to deserve this prize, and am still reasonably optimistic that he might, but he certainly hasn't done so yet.

 

It's rather embarassing actually - the prize only serves to highlight how little he's achieved compared with some of the other nominees and past recipients.

Well, "Great Soul" Gandhi was a war loving kind of guy in his youth. :rolleyes:
