President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, in a surprise pick from the Norwegian Nobel Committee that cited the president's creation of a "new climate in international politics."

Is this April first? Where am I? It's Friday: is this Norway?
Basically won it for not being George Bush
Thought it was a joke too when I woke up this morning.
I guess this is the “international community’s” way of sucking up to the One because he didn’t get the Olympics for Chicago.
Disgusting. Disgusting world.
I’m just watching fox and friends and they have a guy saying bozo deserves it because he gave a speech to muslims in Egypt.
Er he gets it for a speech, and now the left try to spin this,
Yea two weeks in power before the deadline for nominations and he now wins this and they the left try to tell the world this is not a joke
He has one beer in Michelle’s garden and wins a prize? Sounds like the county fair.
The Nobel prize committee did continue their fine tradition of choosing people who are anti Israel and anti American......so we can give them props for consistency......
Yep, when all Bush did was free 25 million people from a sadistic tyrant.
Looks like affirmative action infects the IOC.
not even.
there was two weeks before the deadline for nominations and I would love to know who nominated him.
Even so what did bozo do in those two weeks which merit a nobel prize?
NOTHING
Even Obama’s fans will have to see this as a complete joke.
I hope Zero’s universal healthcare pays to reattach my head after it explodes off my body
I hear he’s already favored to also win the World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, and Academy Awards.
No wonder he stiffed the Dalai Lama this week- he was afraid of being photographed with his competition for being the leader of world peace.
Now, stand by for moon bombing in 3-2-1
Disarming the U.S. and surrendering will always get an American praised by the International Socialist Movements. And unfortunately, the Nobel Committee has been on that list for some time.
The Nobel Peace Prize will henceforth be referred to as the Neville Chamberlain “Peace” Prize (for submitting to dictators and terrorists).
Al Gore
Zero
'nufgh said about this "prize."
The joke about this Nobel Award was Obama was in office 2 weeks before the deadline of 1 Feb 2009 for nominations.
Did Obama really accomplish so much in his first 2 weeks as President to deserve a Nobel?
Of course not, Nobels have lost their significance once Al Gore and Jimmy Carter received them.
That’s “PIECE” prize.
I think he won because he’s shown an anti ISRAEL sentiment which Europe agrees with. Regardless, this pick exposes just how political and biased these morons from Europe are.
nothing more than a consolation prize for failing to win the Olympics 2016... the libs needed to prop him up among other libs... conservatives could give a rat’s behind..!!
Emile Cammaerts, after G. K. Chesterton:
“The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything”
Or apparently anyone.
I was thinking the same thing for a bit this morning. But now I am not so sure. I have made the mistake of over-estimating these people time and time again...
“Even Obama’s fans will have to see this as a complete joke.”
No, I don’t think so.
The fan base of Kool-Aid Drinkers will see this as affirmation of their intelligence and smarts in the election of The Pseudo Messiah.
You cannot dissuade the hard third occupying the left pews. It is the middle that needs to be persuaded.
Me too.
If the NPP had a tarnished image before, this has completely flushed it. What a sick, sad commentary on the state of the human race.
How much does a peace prize cost these days?
Nominations were made 11 days into obamination’s term. Was the fix in or what? Possibly because he said he would fundamentally change the US?(into a 3rd world country)
Well, he was a black man who got elected. That was his only accomplishment before the Nobel nomination. The Nobel prize was given to him as piece of international affirmative action.
It’s ridiculous that the selection process has become so politicized that the peace award is being given to charlatans and fakes rather than those who’ve worked for real peace their whole lives....
Symbolism over substance.
excuse me folks but i am going to puke....this ass clown hasn’t ddown anything but globe trot and make speeches...what constitues him winning this award....such a disgrace to humanity and the real people that deserved it....
You have got to be kidding...the man who through his ineptitude will cause the deaths of millions, who through his evilness is promoting abortions, the man who has extended a hand to every murderous government while spitting in the hand of civilized nations won the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, the formerly prestigious award has no meaning now.
Algore got his prize for a movie full of lies, why shouldn’t Resident Obama get his for a speech full of lies?
I thought Fonzie stopped jumping sharks back in the 70’s. Guess I was wrong
“excuse me folks but i am going to puke.”
Don’t do that.
Just marvel at how much Zero has done in less than 2 weeks after inauguration. A Nobel Peace Prize in Two Weeks.
That has to be some kind of record.
Just think how much more* he can do, given time.
.
.
.
.
* damage
Empty meets empty.
Vacuum meets vacuum.
Evil meets evil.
Who even knew he’d been nominated? Occasionally, I think the slobbering might become so extreme that some in the MSM and other lefties might even be embarrassed, but that’s still an open question.
This guy, and any of his bull shit spouting, should be reported as “an abuse” to the free republic web site.
May almighty God have mercy on our country.
Nobel “Piece of Sh*t” Prize is a F’n Joke. It stands for nothing of subtance anymore and hasn’t in one hell of long time.
Arfat , Carter, now Obamao. It’s the Turd World popularity contest.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Mrs. Hun just asked me “Don’t you have to do something to win a Nobel Peace Prize”.
I just shook my head.......
don’t forget El Baradei!
He hasn’t done a damn thing.
this is the most hilarious thing yet to happen to obama ROFLMAO
The new criteria for the Nobel Peace Prize:
Clean
Articulate
Black
They awarded him the Nobel Prize simply because the Emperor of the World Award hasn’t been created yet.
The Nobel prize committee acted stupidly.
The Nobel march to irrelevancy is relentless.
Trust me, by 2012 a country full of very angry voters are going to much more pre-occupied with runaway inflation, double-digit unemployment, high interest rates, turning tail and running in Afghanistan and multi-trillion dollar deficits to be concerned with some stupid award that Barry won back in 2009.
