I for one am glad that the Nobel Foundation has relaxed their standards when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. Imagine if they had to wait around for someone like Gandhi or MLK to show up. They’d be stuck with a bunch of medals and millions of dollars in prize-money.
The headline on www.nobelprize.org says
“for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples”
So apparently they are just giving people prizes for trying. Since when did the Nobel Foundation start taking their cues from afterschool sports activities where everyone is a winner just for participating?
I suppose they can’t really be blamed for being in awe of President Obama; they must have contrasted his contribution with George Bush’s heroic accomplishments.
I can’t wait to see Time’s ‘Person of the Year’. Maybe they’ll pick me—I have tried really hard not to be a prick over the past year.
So the Nobel Commission has merged with the Special Olympics.
That is so funny! Can I borrow that? I will tonight. Thanks for the laugh in the middle of this insanity!
EXACTLY! XD
Exactly my thoughts.
WHy award him when he has yet to achieve? How strange . . .
It’s amazing how many people get their panties in a twist over a symbolic piece of metal that means next to nothing.
It only means next to nothing once it has been given out like “party favors”!
this just in: USC awared the national championship based on how they might play the rest of the season. brilliant!
This year’s Nobel Prize ceremony was hosted by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith with an appearance from Toby Keith. Enough said.
It’s funny how everyone is taking the comments of those questioning the Nobel Foundations choice as an attack against Obama. Sharp!
My thoughts exactly. I find it hilarious that half the people who comment on your articles miss the point in your sarcasm entirely…
I heard this on the radio this morning and thought the same thing. The radio announcer actually stumbled over her words when she recited the mumbo-jumbo translating to: “Obama’a being awarded for things he’s planning to achieve.”
I think the real question is what took so long for them to give him the Nobel Peace Prize? Obama had been the first Black president for almost 9 months before someone finally worked up the courage to give him a Nobel Peace Prize. Remember when Notre Dame was too afraid to give him a Nobel Peace Prize? It’s good to see that someone has finally recognized all the important work Obama has done. Just think, Obama will get the Nobel Peace Prize again next year if he picks another supreme court justice! In the words of a certain beer commercial: BRILLIANT!
Funny how Obama has done more in half a year than the Republicants have done….well…. period.
That’s not true. It takes a lot of work to start 2 un-winnable wars, betray our constitutional values (such as not torturing), and demolish the economy the entire economy all within the span of a single decade. The republicans have done way more for America (well actualy TO America) than Obama has ever done.
correction: destroy the economy of the entire world
WITNESS!!! ROFLMAO
hahahaha. This is the best. I have to admit. For the sake of democracy.
