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.).

Would you like some cheese with that whine ?

Obama was awarded The Nobel Peace Prize "for his extraordinary
efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation
between peoples".

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me and even though it was surprising
to even hint at some sort of skulduggery is just petulant whining.
The Nobel Peace Prize committee has never claimed to be an agenda
free selection committee and I think they're flippin' the bird to
Shrub as much as they're honoring Obama. To which I can only say,
BRAVO, well done.

It was an award to the American people for getting rid of Bush and
his gang of theives, liars and cowards. It's going to help world
peace. They could have awarded it randomly to 5 or 10 people in the
US but they might have picked some moron like yourself.

Ken, he wasn't eligible for the NPP. ...

When did the Nobel people put you on their rules committee ?

Congrats, what did you do to earn that ?

Real simple; I told them you were an asshole.

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.......

Hm.....

Sanity, or a close enough approximation, anyway.

Who are you what did you do with whatever the hell the moron's name

There is a disconnect in the thinking of those who state that Obama
lacks respect in he world community and then make clear they are
disappointed he won this prize. There may be question as to whether
he has accomplished enough to deserve the prize but to ridicule him
and the committee for accepting and awarding the prize respectively is
disingenuous. If you simply despise the man and wish him failure and
lack of respect, without a reason you'd care to bring to light,
simply state this and cut with the twisted logic. I believe for some
there is nothing for which he will be granted credit.

Someone should inform the committee. Boy are THEY gonna be red it the
face or what, huh?

Idiot.

He was in office less than two weeks before he was nominated. *He did nothing to earn it.

Well, that much at least, appears to be true.

Nevertheless, pig.....liar.

Well, if you take it from behind, as you so much enjoyed for eight

I suspect that people with half a brain would be lucky to articulate
"Huh?" (or anything else, for that matter) on their best days, and it
isn't likely that they can support themselves in an upright position
(or anything else, for that matter).

Aside from that, cogent (if somewhat belated) observation.

Gosh, this thread has already driven several people well beyond their
capabilities. Maybe the Swedes ain't as dumb as they look.

He's the American president and he's not George W. Bush.

Low potential breeds low expectations.

That should be enough right there.

Enough for what?

I can put words on paper.....and I'm not Ernest Hemingway.....where's
my million dollars?

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.

Can't speak with any authority about whether the selection committee
is or is not sequestered bewteen February 1st and the selection
voting, but the closure of nominations of February 1st suggests rather
strongly that Obama was nominated on or before that date. Sorta makes
the question of sequestration slobberingly meaningless in the present
context, ainna?

Moron.
