Except for:In his earlier announcement about the secret Iranian facility, Obama said, "Iran is breaking rules that all nations must follow. The size and configuration of this facility is inconsistent with a peaceful program.
Image is everything.President Obama has reaffirmed a 4-decade-old secret understanding that has allowed Israel to keep a nuclear arsenal without opening it to international inspections, three officials familiar with the understanding said.
#1 Take a look at the list of other NPP laureates then tell me that.Im sorry. He has been in office for 9 months for fcks sake. #1 You can't get a Nobel Peace Prize for ideas, and #2 that is all he has so far. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and I love what he is doing, but at least wait till something happens!
What a Norwegian-American arse kiss.
Go and search who recieved the first NPP and what he got it for. Irony?
When the foreign government is china and the goal is distributing feel-good money, then yes.Is the Pres allowed to take money from a foreign government?
Actually, given the amount of time he's been in office and the amount of bureaucratic bs he has to go through to get stuff done nowadays, I am honestly rather impressed by the amount he has accomplished and started in his time in office. Think back, how much had Dubya accomplished in his first 9 months?Haha Jon, you are kinda right, my wording was wrong.
I believe that if Obama's ideas come into fruition, then sure, give him a prize.
I just think it's a little early to be popping the champagne bottle...
But I think the bar should be set a little higher than that to win a NPP....but the fact tat we are less hated throughout the world is a huge bonus.
Even a big Obamaphile like myself doesn't know what he did to deserve one.Im sorry. He has been in office for 9 months for fcks sake. You can't get a Nobel Peace Prize for ideas, and that is all he has so far. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and I love what he is doing, but at least wait till something happens!

Isn't the disconnect a requirement to be a birther? And just you wait, I give it not even a day before the nut jobs find a way to condemn the Nobel peace prize as further evidence that Obama is a socialist/fascist/commie/whatever.I can't wait to hear what the birthers and wingnuts are gonna say about this. Can you imagine a group of people so far disconnected from reality that they view receiving a Nobel Peace Prize as a bad thing?
http://thepage.time.com/rnc-statement-on-obama-nobel-win/“The real question Americans are asking is, ‘What has President Obama actually accomplished?' It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights. One thing is certain – President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.”
Pot, this is kettle, kettle, this is pot, notice you are both black.President Obama won't be receiving any awards from Americans for job creation, fiscal responsibility, or backing up rhetoric with concrete action.”
That's what I'm curious about. Who else was in the running? Is there someone that deserves it more?Maybe it was just a weak field this year and the NPP committee was like, "FU Bush".
apparently there were 205 nominees for NPP this year. IMHO, at least 10 were more deserving than BOI'd like to pose the following question:
Who else was in the running?
But how many had to follow in Bush's footsteps?apparently there were 205 nominees for NPP this year. IMHO, at least 10 were more deserving than BO

You're off by 50%...But how many had to follow in Bush's footsteps?
I agree that this is at least a 50% slap in the face to Bushies of the world.
Which ones and why do you feel they were more worthy candidates? (and don't just ctrl+c/v from that article).apparently there were 205 nominees for NPP this year. IMHO, at least 10 were more deserving than BO
