Look at the wiki page about the Nobel Peace prize.

Ok, I looked. Obama doesn't belong on the list.
My opinion.
Seems the committee is working on "hope" criteria instead of
established work as in the past.
Maybe he'll justify it in the end, but the "rules" have certainly
changed.
BTW, John Paul II, the Polish Pope, should be on that list.
He exuded peace and love, and spread it where ever he went.

You're right he might or might not, but most presidents have
far-reaching
impact. GWB is an example. Not for good, but his impact on the world
was
large.

I don't think you're a bad person. If I implied that, it was
unintentional.

I was just kidding. I know I'm not a bad person. Mostly.

I don't know if he deserved it or not. He got it. We should be proud
that the Nobel committee thinks so highly of him. That hasn't been case
of recent presidents.

Maybe it was really the NoBalls award.


Sure is nice to be a proud American... isn't it.

I am proud of America, not real happy with the political leaders for a lot
of years.

So, being proud of America means that when the president wins a
world-recognized award we should ignore that? That's the message I seem to
be seeing from the "no", "bring him down at any cost" right.

I'm not saying you're that... just saying that's the message I'm seeing.
