bammy gave money to a sponsor of terrorism. He should be in jail, not receiving any prizes.

We should give out college degrees at high school graduations so graduates can be productive and meet their potential sooner.

Can I get the award for Chemistry? I can use the money to pay for a college course in that subject. Might even develop something useful.

These clueless Scandahoovians give out Nobels solely to stick a thumb in the eye of America, while they allow their homelands to be flooded with Muslim savages.
OK, maybe the Danes are finally waking up.

The so-called “peace” prize will forever be a joke.

Yet they have no regrets about giving the prize to Yasser Arafat, the founder of modern Islamic terrorism. Ever since then, it automatically became an insult to get one.

Hey, when do I get my Nobel prize. I think molecular biology or physics, or literature, Beacuse I wil be spurred to us molecular biology to make nannites to create a dark energy tap to provide free non polluting energy with no carbon footprint, then I will write song about it, wanna here it, here it goes. After that I will write my autobiogrphy and reveal the seret of eternal youth. At least my plan for what I would do to earn my prize is better than Obama’s.

he thought giving Obama the award would spur him to great accomplishments. Instead, Obama did nothing of note over the next eight years.
so....you discovered that Barry was lazy.
Myth Confirmed.

They gave it to him to take a swipe at Bush. Nothing more nothing less.
To: Jyotishi
Nobel's former secretary, Geir Lundestad, told the media that he thought giving Obama the award would spur him to great accomplishments. Instead, Obama did nothing of note over the next eight years.
The official citation says "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples", so it was awarded for things the selection committee thought he already had done.
To: Sans-Culotte
Hope and change - Obama’s motto.

But, soon enough his natural (and proper) embarrassment at being given the award for no logical reason was overcome by his arrogance and desire for personal adulation.Yep, that's our Bambi

I think he forgot to mention regretting give one to Al Gore in 2007.
To: Jyotishi
Shortly after his had occurred,
Chris Plante was discussing the topic on his Washington DC radio show when an Obama defender called in to say that "The President deserved that Noble [sic] Peace Prize".
Chris replied, tongue-in-cheek, "Noble Peace Prize, eh?"

Just cry in your beer. Don’t even think about giving our President one. I for one would discourage him from taking that piece of junk!! It’s tainted.

Yes.
There was always a whiff of something patronizing about the whole thing. I don’t think the narcissist in chief was aware enough to be embarrassed over it, though.

“The committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for.”
Sadly, every Nobel prize is now associated with 0bama. Funny how the Nobel prize is now garbage. So Harvard has 33 Nobel prize winners? Doesn’t mean a thing anymore.

It was a garbage award before they ever gave it to Hussein. Stupid thing just needs to be abolished.
