He was in office for a whole two weeks when he was nominated.

Still better him than, say Ahmajinedad.

Interestingly, I think that had Ahmajinedad won the same people who mindlessly praise Obama would have been equally joyous. (Incidentally, what about him being Jewish, eh? you think he's a sleeper who is there to make sure that the Apocalypse comes to pass in this generation? Speaking of which this whole Obama/Peace Prize thing ... could be evidence of my theory that he is the Biblical Antichrist).

I need more sleep. The stress is getting to me.

I don't think so.

I'm amused that so many anti-Obama-ans-ites appear to blame Obama for this, as though he nominated himself, then he gave himself the award. It seems to me that he was a victim of circumstances!:p The prize was forced on him because he's half African American. This never would have happened to a fully European American man.

During all of the chaos involving momwolf, this is the one news story that I heard yesterday.

Well, that and Archbishop Dougherty and Northeast Catholic closing.

I had to check my calendar to make sure that it was October 9th, not April 1st.

I really don't care, because it(Nobel Prize) has become irrelevant. But I do care about the world hug. I get the heeby geebies thinking about the STDs that crowd would transmit.

If you're worried about STDs from a hug, then you're doing it wrong.

??? I haven't seen anyone blaming Obama. There are many who don't think it is/was deserved, but no one actually blaming him.

Honestly, I think it's ballsy, but ultimately meaningless. I will note that they sure do spend a lot of time using the prize as a political slap in the face to George W. Bush--first Jimmy Carter in 2002, then Al Gore in 2005, and now Barack Obama.

I don't think any of those was a slap in the face to George W. Bush. All of these men did a lot to earn their Nobel Prizes, especially Al Gore for exposing that man-made global warming isn't a theory, an idea, a concept, or as idiots claim.... a fraud, a hoax, etc. Man-made global warming is an indisputable scientific fact. It is an undeniable and irrefutable truth that we must take drastic action to fix, or face our own destruction.

Contrary to what some idiots claim, Barack Obama actually has done a lot to promote peace in the world through what he's already done in such a short time. Merely reversing the horrific foreign policy of the Bush administration should earn him this, but ordering the closure of Gitmo, coming out against the use of torture for interrogation, ending the Iraq war, and bringing home or re-assigning most of the troops that were there, choosing to talk with other nations rather than telling them to comply or get sanctions and bombs, etc.

The actions of President Obama promote peace both here and abroad, including his valuable work on health care reform in America.

The true colors of these scumbag neocons really shows when the President of America wins the Nobel Peace Prize and rather than saying, "Hooray, a sitting American president won the single most prestigious, important, and meaningful honor on earth!!!" and being happy for America, they talk shit about him. They did the same thing when he tried to bring the Olympics to America, including the thousands of jobs, billions of dollars, international prestige and good will, etc. They hoped that another country would get it and cheered when America didn't.

Clearly these idiots hate President Obama more than they love America. They are like the so-called Palestinian people who hate Jews more than they love their own children. They'd cut off their nose just to spite their face. They are bitter, nasty, pathetic, and unpatriotic losers.

I've said that all along. To me, that is the ultimate in illness, that being right is more important than hoping this will be the best thing for our country, for our progeny, for us. No, we'd rather see "fail" because we get to say "I told you so." Sad, is what that attitude is.
