Will an investigation of the Nobel Peace Prize committee lead to a revocation of President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize of 2009? That is a good question as a formal inquiry has begun into the way the committee chooses its winners. The board of inquiry does have the authority to revoke Obama’s award, although that is unlikely, the Associated Press reported.

The Peace Prize is awarded by a group in Norway. Swedish committees decide the other prizes. The Norwegians have drifted from the original intent of the Peace Prize.

Fredrik Heffermehl, a prominent researcher and critic of the selection process, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that “Nobel called it a prize for the champions of peace. And it’s indisputable that he had in mind the peace movement, i.e. the active development of international law and institutions, a new global order where nations safely can drop national armaments.”

The only reason he received it was because he was so darn cool. He didn’t actually have any accomplishments deserving of it.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Gee, even the Leftwing lunatics on the Nobel nominating committee are realizing what a foolish mistake they made in giving the prize to Obama. They shouldn't revoke it. Let it remain outstanding to show what a complete joke this prize has become. Going forward, anyone with any integrity should refuse the thing as a highly politicized piece of garbage.

Yeah, holding up the “peace” prize and bragging “I killed bin Laden!” is a bit of an incongruity.

[CASchack]

They should have given Obama one of these:

It's what the Nobel has been reduced to.

And it’s indisputable that he had in mind the peace movement, i.e. the active development of international law and institutions, a new global order where nations safely can drop national armaments.”

As long as there are Hitlers and Wahabists, no nations can safely drop national armaments.

All they have to do is rename it...

The Nobel Politics Prize

Have fun trying to get a million dollar refund, from that s.o.b.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

..along with his diplomas and his “birth certificate”.

[ILS21R]

Why revoke it? Just double down and get one ready for Ahmadinejad. Or present one to the leaders of the Arab Spring. Just slip it to them between the bars.

“Obama NPP Revoked!! AP Editorial Board Commits Suicide!!! Film at 11!

[cuban leaf]

Drinking all that coolaid made them do something amazingly stupid. It also left a serious hangover. Now that they’ve sobered up and recovered, maybe they would like to do the right thing. They better, because the prize has zero credibility now.

[Mich Patriot]

Exactly. Nobody gives a damn if they revoke it or not. As soon as they awarded it to Obama, Nobel became meaningless forever more.

[KarlInOhio]

Why repeal it. His sole qualification for it was a lifetime of not being George W. Bush. The Nobel committee gave it strictly as an insult to Bush, not for anything Obama had done or even proposed.

[Flintlock]

Soros and his bunch bought and paid for it.

Going against all that? NOT BLOODY LIKELY!!

[Biggirl]

Give the Nobel Peace Prize to the runner-up.

[SMARTY]

“He didn’t actually have any accomplishments deserving of it.”

And WON’T!

[CPO retired]

I thought it became meaningless when they gave it to Arrafat.

[Mich Patriot]

Ha, great point. Maybe they were just trying to reaffirm what they had already stated.

[SumProVita]

“The only reason he received it was because he was so darn cool.”

I’ve never even thought that he was all that “cool.”

This meaningless award will not be revoked....but one DOES wonder about how it would affect the overwhelmingly narcissistic personality that is Obama...
