News of the Day: Obama wins nobel prize

[SimonCP]

I think that this is proof that the "Nobel Peace Prize" is really a bunch of elites back-scratching one another. Just like being Knighted by the Queen.

[Mal]

I want to be knighted.

obama was nominated 14 or so days after becoming president. what was he nominated for??

he won the nobel prize for....."extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

extraordinary efforts, nice....

hopefully it will pressure him to actually put his words to action. thats the overall assumption of why he obtained it. obama himself said he didnt deserve it.

some dumbasses seem to thimk obama applied for it. a lot of people are slandering obama like he wanted the award. he had nothing to do with norways decision, or swedens decision, dont remember who had the final say.

obama seems like he has a lot of potential to do good. hopefully he utilizes it.

He was probably nominated for being a pretty cool black dude, with the hopes that he'd do something prize worthy before the winner was decided.

In all seriousness, I believe he got it because they wanted to cash in on the monumental landmark in US history in a "me too" kind of PR stunt. Of course, the Nobel Peace price has lost it's meaning since Jimmy Carter and Al Gore's prizes. It's all political bull shit now like everything else.

Agreed. You have Mother Teresa, Gorbachev, Elie Wiesel...then you have Obama. Disparity? I think so. Come on, Gandhi never even got one, so you know a lot of it is political hocus-pocus hype [insert word of related meaning here].

All in all though, the Nobel Peace Prize does not mean nearly as much as the other ones (at least to some) - it's the metaphorical pat on the back for their good efforts, whereas the others are the real deal. You can't really measure how much of an effect their efforts really go, since their work is not quite as tangible as the achievements in other categories.

The real prestige is in the other Nobel prizes - Watson and Crick, the Curies, Pavolv, Pauling?! To many people, these winner in their respective scientific fields have done much more to contribute to our understanding to the scientific community.

Yes, I'm disappointed that the world has come to this - giving awards for ideas - but there's not much that can be done about it.

I want to see a posthumous Peace Prize for Neville Chamberlain. Dude made peace with Hitler, how hard is that?

Sup Republican jackass.

[Lalalila]

You idiot! I'm not even from USA! and don't "what" me!

His county is participating in two wars! that's a fact! that should disqualify him at the beginning! Who even nominate him, for what reasons and what was he thinking!??

[Jaxon]

So, the person who sits back and does nothing deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? For keeping his own peace? Peace can be won through force of arms as well as diplomacy. Obama pursues both, as the situation demands of him.

He deserves it more that someone who kills thousands of people, yeah..

O yeah? You remember war in Vietnam? or Japan? Korea? It's no different then Iraq or Afghanistan right now! but I guess we are living in times where occupation of another country is called peace...

[Miburo]

What country are you from?

Also, seriously: what?

[Mal]

I think Lala got so caught up in ANTIOBAMAMANIA that they've forgotten Obama didn't start America's current wars.
