There will be those who minimize this, but on the world stage it means something.. Pretty presigious company.. Doctors without borders, Nelson Mandela, Elie Weisel, Lech Walesa, Mother Theresa..Jimmy Carter ( after he was prez in '02) and Gore the Bore...

Best can tell he, Woodrow Wilson and Teddy Roosevelt are the only sitting presidents to have ever won this prize...

Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize - WSJ.com

Quote:

OSLO -- President Barack Obama on Friday won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."

Gore getting the award was bad enough but this is just a bad joke. Should have gone to his speech writers and his teleprompter.

"oh look mommy, it's the president"
"yes dear isn't he beautiful"
"hee hee hee, look ay his little ears mommy"
"he has such a wonderful smile"
"oh god look here comes Michelle"
"oh boy, what great arms she's got mom"
"I know dear, here they come get down on your knees"
"can I kiss his ring mom"

The Nobel Peace Prize has become a "Liberal Joke" Michael Moore will win it next year.

Waaah!!!!

There is a big world out there.

The cave offers you protection, but the outside world exists. You can prattle on about how the rest of the world is wrong and your small corner is the only one that is right if that makes you feel better.

You forgot Arafat, Kissinger, and Le Duc Tho. I was tempted to mention the Dalai Lama, the guy he wouldn't meet with.........
You're right that it is pretty prestigious company.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples.

Just remembered the Noble prize comes from NORWAY i read somewhere recently it was voted the best place to live

i don't think anyone saw this coming, but after thinking about it i can understand why he won.

He vision is not appreciated by a small group of myopic and hatfull people

They gave the clown the prize for trashing his own country in his glorious speeches when he went overseas, every dictator in the world LOVES him.

There are so many people that can't wait to slobber all over his d!ck he can't get it out of his pants fast enough. It's funny how the Olympic committee decides to slap the taste out of his mouth and the Nobel Peace voters drop to there knees and open up. I guess he hasn't worn out his welcome everywhere yet.

I thought this was a joke at first. For what ? Spending our money ? Being undecided about Afghanistan ? Seriously, what ? Not that it matters given the state of that award but still.
