I guess they figured if Kofi Annan and Al Gore didn't convince folks this thing
is a cheap joke, this ought to do it...

Sheesh,

....maybe they just figured Lindsay Lohan would get all drunk and stupid at the
presentation and, like, embarrass them or something...

This will end up doing a ton of harm to this country...and his
administration.

With not even a year in office and things being worse than ever...not
only amongst Americans...but the U.S. relations with tyrants like
Ahmaddinejab,who is more than ever now going to taunt obama and have
him for a chew toy,this will not sit well with the majority.

Before considering him...they should have at least waited until he got
out of office...and examined the record in totality.His getting this
now...with things much worse than a year ago...will only fuel
anomosity.

Bad decision. This would have been like officially giving the Titanic
an award for smoothest Atlantic crossing an hour after it left
England.......

Ken, he wasn't eligible for the NPP. He was in office less than two
weeks before he was nominated. He did nothing to earn it.

OTT, it is a wet day here in the Georgia mountains. Doing some real
estate looking this a.m., and hope to wet a line later this afternoon.

As one article mentioned, nominations for the prize close on Feb 1,
just 12 days after the President took office. Perhaps someday he will
have a record deserving of the prize, but right now anyone with at
least half a brain, supporter or not, must be thinking "Huh?"...

http://nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/process.html

Unless he was nominated in for 2008 too late (even more ridiculous), and as
others have correctly pointed out, he had to have been nominated no later than a
coupla weeks into office as POTUS. My guess is that there will be some, er,
"discussion" from at least some perfectly reasonable eligible nominators to
release more details of this nomination long before the 50-year mark.

And for the record, unless he or his people had something untoward to do with
this (and that would include, um, "encouraging" one or more nominators to
nominate him), this doesn't reflect on Obama one bit, it reflects upon the
Committee (which has shown itself to be goofy in the past, ala Annan, Gore,
etc.).

He's the American president and he's not George W. Bush. That
should be enough right there. And just because nominations
close on February 1st doesn't mean the selection committee
has to sequester themselves in isolation chambers between
February 1st and the selection voting.

Jeez richard. Sour grapes make lousy whine.

Alfred Nobel created the prize to be awarded "to the person who shall
have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations,
for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding
and promotion of peace congresses."

Hopey has been going around the world for the last 9 months trying to
do those very things. And, as should be obvious, while the nominations
were in February the voting by the committee was just a short while
ago. All it takes to be nominated is to have one qualified person,
like a history professor, forward said nomination to Oslo. Limbugh has
been nominated, as was W.
