If baraq had any integrity, he wouldn’t be in the White House.

If Barack were smart he would turn down the Nobel Prize.

I think it is fitting he receives a prize that in the past has honored Jimmah Carter, Al Gore and Yassir Arafat. The nobel has long ago ceased to become an honor and has instead become an irrelevant liberal political prize.

THis is less about giving the prize to Obama as it is giving the finger to W.

I'm not going to take the time to read through all the comments just yet, I will in a minute. First, I've got to say it. if I'm repeating somebody else, sorry.

The Nobel Prize Committee voted "present".

Now he can go back to Europe to collect it and give another speech in his “The U.S. Sucks `09” tour.

The Oslo delusionaries gave this to him for two reasons:

He is a palestinian sympathizer, who will stick it to Israel.

He is a Iranian sympathizer who will allow them to get nukes.

“...the fact that the Committee in Oslo seemed pretty desperate in explaining/defending their decision.”

Interesting. Did someone do someone else a little favor, or perhaps received some form of “compensation” for making it happen? NOTHING would surprise me anymore with this bunch of loons.

Must have been awarded to Obama because he brokered the peace deal between Professor Gates and the Cambridge Police Officer at the Beer Summit this summer?

I promised myself that I wouldn’t rant about this. I lied...

Giving Barack Obama the Nobel peace prize is like putting that retarded kid in the back of the class on the honor roll or giving the Detroit Lions the Lombardi Trophy. They’ve done nothing to deserve it.

Does the Nobel committee not realize that everytime they do this, give the award to their favorite lefty of the year, the diminish not only themselves but the value and the prestige of the award?

I read that some people are considering this a slap at George W. Bush. Really?! Do they think that Bush really cares what they think? In case they haven’t noticed, Bush has been out of the news for the last nine months. He’s a nonfactor. Get over your BDS and give the award to someone who really deserves it, say that woman that murdered by the thugs in Iran.

Dear Lord. It's bad enough being an American of Norwegian ancestry. Did you have to remind me that I'm a Lions fan, too?

that this award will now be like a millstone around his neck, especially when it comes to foreign policy.

Well timed for the Taliban, eh? It is awarded, not in recognition of his African heritage but because of his heritage in Western Intellectual commitment. You know, Marx, Engles, Hegel, Sartre, Marceuse, Webber, Rousseau, Lenin, Trotsky, et. al.

Gonna be pretty tough to send more troops to Afghanistan after winning the ‘peace’ prize. Maybe he can just go show his medal to the Taliban and they will become peaceful...

Uh yeah, and I guess it would look really bad for us to nuke Iran also, wait a minute, wasn't Iran just tying to get the UN to pass a resolution that would restrict the US from attacking them?
