So proud of President Obama and America.
The great transistion and rebuilding of America and the World is still underway after only 9 months, and yes, of course the "No" folks (or, the ones that use this symbol
) it seem on Sowal are all going to chime in on their disappointment with the World choice and their dissapointment with our wonderful country, once again.
As time goes by all this anger and hatred will diminish, hopefully!

Congratulations to President Obama!
I thought it awarded for actual accomplishments....not "efforts"...he hasn't DONE anything....just words,
The entire Nobel prize was cheapened for me when they gave one to Al Gore....
This is ridiculous..... :rofl::funn:
peace out.....

?The whole of my remaining realizable estate shall be dealt with in the following way:
The capital shall be invested by my executors in safe securities and shall constitute a fund, the interest on which shall be annually distributed in the form of prizes to those who, during the preceding year, shall have conferred the greatest benefit on mankind. The said interest shall be divided into five equal parts, which shall be apportioned as follows: one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery or invention within the field of physics; one part to the person who shall have made the most important chemical discovery or improvement; one part to the person who shall have made the most important discovery within the domain of physiology or medicine; one part to the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work of an idealistic tendency; and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.
The prizes for physics and chemistry shall be awarded by the Swedish Academy of Sciences; that for physiological or medical works by Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm; that for literature by the Academy in Stockholm; and that for champions of peace by a committee of five persons to be elected by the Norwegian Storting. It is my expressed wish that in awarding the prizes no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, so that the most worthy shall receive the prize, whether he be Scandinavian or not.

Unlike the other Nobel prizes, the Peace prize may be awarded to someone who is in the process of creating peace or resolving warfare.
he was nominated 11 days after taking office, 11! i am not surprised that he won, nor an i about to drag anything about this through the mud, but don't you find it odd that even the most liberal and supportive media thought it was a joke and spam when they first heard the news?
