The Swedish Peace and Arbitration Society (Svenska Freds) has classified as "shameful" the decision by the Nobel Committee in Oslo to award the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 to Barack Obama.
"The choice of Barack Obama as the recipient of the world's foremost peace prize is shocking," said the group's chairwoman Anna Ek in a statement.
Ek conceded that the US president had sent "positive signals" with regard to his future commitment to global peace.

Barfing? I have been laughing my head off. Obama will recive much ridicule for this, especially if he accepts the prize.
The question. . which I have not heard anyone ask. . WHO put forth Obama’s nomination. . .especially if the deadline was February 1st. It almost seems even Obama was surprised. Who would nominate Obama after 10 days in office?
