(CNN) — Arizona Sen. John McCain said Friday the Nobel Committee's decision to award President Obama the Peace Prize was likely based on expectations, not accomplishments.

"I can't divine all their intentions, but I think part of their decision-making was expectations," McCain told CNN's John King. "And I'm sure the president understands that he now has even more to live up to."

But Obama's former rival for the White House said he was happy with the decision.

Where’s Ronald Reagan’s prize for ending the Cold War?

I think he must have drank the whole case and went back for another.

I guess it does prove the point what a worthless thing that prize is now.

Can I get a raise based on my bosses expectations rather than what I actually do???

I think I will nominate Ho Chi Mihn for a postumous award next year!

Sometimes I forget how much I disliked McCain then he reminds me again.

McCain is such a RINO LOSER! I deserve the Nobel in Physics. I have “expectations” of coming up with a major breakthrough in string theory in the next year.

Silly you. The nobel peace prize isn’t for bringing peace to the world. It’s for advancing failed left wing policies.

Some Republican should introduce a bill re-naming the Washington Monument the Obamument. After all George Washington is just some old white founding father while Obama is the first Black president to win a Nobel Prize. Anyone who objects to this is obviously a racist.

“Where’s Ronald Reagan’s prize for ending the Cold War?”

...and without a war with the USSR which would have cost millions of lives. Shame on the Leftist monkeys in Norway who don’t know a real leader for peace when they see one, and insist on spending their dynamite-sponsored prize money on peaceniks and appeasers, while war rages and true human rights champions suffer in terrorist strongholds around the world.

Where’s Ronald Reagan’s prize for ending the Cold War?

...and freeing Eastern Europe from the tyranny of the USSR?

I imagine they will all sayn something similar or say nothing at all.

Wow, Mac really was tortured out of his mind in Nam.

[EricT.]

McCain has officially lost his frigging mind.

As much as I hate Dear Leader 0bamessiah The Most Merciful(Peace Be Upon Him), John McCain would not have been much better.

Hussein won for one reason and one reason only. He’s part black.
