This is proof that Nobels are not Nobels any more; they are political tokens.... A peace prize for the man who continues and builds on the worst warmongering foreign policy known in recent history. ... sad, very sad, but not surprising.

US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Nobel Committee said he was awarded it for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and co-operation between peoples".

The committee highlighted Mr Obama's efforts to strengthen international bodies and promote nuclear disarmament.

There were a record 205 nominations for this year's prize. Zimbabwe's prime minister and a Chinese dissident had been among the favourites.

The laureate - chosen by a five-member committee - wins a gold medal, a diploma and 10m Swedish kronor ($1.4m).

The award is certainly unexpected and might be regarded as more of an encouragement for intentions than a reward for achievements.

After all, the president has been in office for a little over eight months and he might hope to serve eight years. His ambition for a world free of nuclear weapons is one that is easier to declare than to achieve and a climate control agreement has yet to be reached.

Indeed, the citation indicates that it is President Obama's world view that attracted the Nobel committee - that diplomacy should be founded "on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population".

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the Norwegian committee said in a statement.

"His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."

Asked why the prize had been awarded to Mr Obama less than a year after he took office, Nobel committee head Thorbjoern Jagland said: "It was because we would like to support what he is trying to achieve".

"It is a clear signal that we want to advocate the same as he has done," he said.

He specifically mentioned Mr Obama's work to strengthen international institutions and work towards a world free of nuclear arms.

The statement from the committee also said the US president had "created a new climate in international politics".

"Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play," it said.

The committee added that the US was now playing a more constructive role in meeting "the great climatic challenges" facing the world, and that democracy and human rights would be strengthened.

The guy that's about to order up to 45,000 soldiers into Afghanistan wins the FUCKING NOBEL PEACE PRIZE??? Everytime I think this crap can't get any more bizarre, I find myself surprised by how wrong I was.
 
What Peace?

Apparently its to encourage him not to bomb Iran... and NK... and Pakistan....
 
Bush peace: Barrel of a gun, sell out, and bribes.

Obama peace: Bribes, sell out, and barrel of a gun.

Notice the difference?

Bunkloco
 
The deadline for nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize was 11 days after Obamas term began. Nobel has lost ALL credibility.

Iran - getting ready to invade
Pakistan - occasional hostilities
North Korea - pending
Many, many other countries - covertly

Are they just giving out awards for just saying shit without doing it now?
 
This is almost as bad as when they gave Teddy Roosevelt the Nobel Peace Prize.

Now back to your regular scheduled programming.
 
Gore was bad. Krugman was bad.
But at least there was a tenuous thread of a link between those people and the categories they won.

They seem hellbent on marginalizing themselves.
 
Hell, if just talking about peace earns a peace prize--

does this mean I can talk about my solar-powered robotic bikini-line shaver for use in the tanning booth-- and win the Nobel for science?
 
They awarded it to him for his efforts of being the pawn who bring's the one world order into fruition, and once it is on the verge of emerging he will be crowned king, this prize is just one step closer to his coronation...

Harvard paid for by Muslims? Check~!!
US Senator? Check~!!
Presidency paid for by Muslims? Check~!!
Nobel Peace Prize? Check~!!
Obama seeing the world bow before him? priceless:eek:

Obama has one hell of a resume, it won't be long now before his messianic following go beyond crowning him king of the world to making him out to be the god of the world, not that this is not already occuring in certain media circles...
