Default Obama wins Nobel Prize?

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.

Alfred must be spinning in his grave at the warping of the award.

Wouldn't it be nicer, though, if he had actually had the time to EARN
the recognition? Why be in such haste?


It's just a payoff for celebrity... Nothing more.


It's crap like this that reduces the respect given for *any* Nobel
Prize. The prize is no longer the mark of achievement it once was.
Whether it bothers 'righties' or not is beside the point. It's obvious
the Nobel Committee has reduced its standards to 'be a celebrity'.

Damn shame, but quite humorous.

The criteria for the award is set by the Nobel committee. Obama met the
committee's criteria. The side benefit is that it is giving many
righties apoplexy. That in itself is worthy of recognition.

Makes the Nobel Committee less than nothing.

It's obvious - they've lost thier collective minds.

And even the Left is wondering what the hell happened.

"The time has not yet arrived and circumstances have not yet evolved
where Barack Obama is anywhere near the point where he has earned this
prize. I don't blame him for this capricious action; it was the Nobel
Peace Committee which committed the offense, which no doubt has Alfred
Nobel thumping his head against his casket."

Anybody want to bet he wins the Literature prize for "Dreams of My
Father"? It would make as much sense.

And we're finally getting Obama jokes - and we all know what happens
when a President becomes the butt of jokes.

Ezra Klein: Obama also awarded Nobel prize in chemistry. "He's just
got great chemistry," says Nobel Committee.

Barack Obama’s Teleprompter: Big Guy says Bill Clinton called and was
gracious in defeat; offered to fly Kanye West over 4 the Nobel awards
ceremony

Headline over AP analysis by White House correspondent Jennifer Loven:
He Won, But For What?

My personal favorite:

Erick Erickson: Obama is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy
Carter became Jimmy Carter.

Well, there was talk for a Republican to win the peace prize, but no one
could find a GOP'er who was interested in peace.
