Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

[Shawnee123]

Since World War II, the Peace Prize has principally been awarded to honour efforts in four main areas: arms control and disarmament, peace negotiation, democracy and human rights, and work aimed at creating a better organized and more peaceful world.

This isn't Time Magazine, folks. It isn't awarded to "the people" or "the soldiers." It's not the "What Have You Done as President" prize. It's not the "Gee, What Do You Americans Think?" prize. It's the Nobel Peace Prize. As we have seen, the concept of peace isn't exactly a science. The committee decided Obama has shown committment to creating a better organized and more peaceful world.

This looks good for us, the USA. Remember us? Shouldn't we quit nitpicking and be happy that at least some of the world no longer hates us?

Nah, negative spin the fucker. When you're done, please list all requirements in the Peace Prize manual that the committee ignored.

A flow chart would be helpful.

Since he was only is office two weeks when he was nominated, it seems it was based on campaign promises rather than efforts.
