Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize - Page 3

Since it's meaningless, no one should really care who got it...past, present, or who will get it in the future.

It may not play well in some quarters, but IMO, it is an honor, even if symbolic.

But still, you’re nothing in this town until you have a national airport and the largest federal office building in the city named in your honor, as well as bills introduced by your buddies in Congress every session to have your bust added to Mt Rushmore and your image to replace Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill.

Oh well I guess he wins.

The only thing I can liken it to is naming the rookie who has only played in two games to the Baseball Hall of Fame. It is totally absurd. It is just another case of style over substance.

Bush totally should have gotten the award.

Undertoad · 10-09-2009, 02:49 PM

He was nominated in 2002.

Isaac Hayes should have won before Obama. 1) He was black, 2) He said pretty words written by someone else that gave hope to millions of horny people, 3) Huh, I can't think of a third reason for either of them.

This is just another political blowjob.

I voted for Obama. I like Obama. I think it's silly that he got this prize.

I think it's the Nobel people trying to nudge him towards closing Gitmo and ending Afghanistan quickly, and also snubbing Bush.

I'm all for that International Group Hug!

I don't know how I feel about Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize, kinda apathetic about it. I hope he gives the money to a good charity (like the deficit!)
His money though, can do what he likes.

Ah just found:

Obama will travel to Oslo, Norway, in December to accept the award, including a $1.4 million prize. The White House said Obama will donate the entire amount to charity.
