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.


You gotta love her logic.


"We should all be proud of nomdeplum because Harry thinks shes the
cat's meow."


That would be a worthy idea except that Harry's 'blessing' now carries
about as much weight as that of the Nobel Committee.


Got news for you - she's not a she.


Even though she says shes a she, she's a he, and not a she?


Nom-d' Plume = LOLA!

Great song...but if I was dedicating it to anyone...it'd be a long haired
freaky person......
speaking of that... these lyrics seem appropriate also...

"And the sign said long haired freaky people need not apply
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said you look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do
So I took off my hat I said imagine that, huh, me working for you "
