I'm sorry folks, but this doesn't make any sense.

He had been in office for exactly TWO WEEKS before the selection was
made on Feb 1st of this year. He hasn't even been in office for a
freakin' year yet.

Isreal is planning an Iranian raid, he's got two wars going, is also
preparing for an Iranian incursion, he hasn't passed any of his agenda
and isn't likely to, he's backed off on every single campaign promise
he made including Gitmo, the economy is a wreck, Chrysler is doing
down the tubes as fast as you can say it with GM right behind, thrown
more of his homies under the bus than you can count, kept his mouth
shut about the Georgian/Russian conflict, threw the Iranians under the
bus when they revolted, backing a corrupt politician in Honduras, lost
the Olympics for Chicago and he wins a Peace Prize?

There isn't anybody else in the world working for peace that deserved
the prize?

It's a joke - has to be. Only it's not April.

This could explain it:

"- Myth: The prize is awarded to recognize efforts for peace, human
rights and democracy only after they have proven successful."

"More often, the prize is awarded to encourage those who receive it to
see the effort through, sometimes at critical moments."

IOW, they hope he will change.


Republicans hate America but hate peace even more.

So you are not willing to address the point that the prize should have
a criteria of extraordinary achievement, or a lifetime of productive
dedication and sacrifice to a humanitarian cause. As it stands now,
it's only an award for celebrity.
