I would call that a Presidential win.

adolf hitler was nominated for the nobel peace prize in the 30s, as was joseph stalin and benito mussolini.

obamas nomination and subsequent winning of the nobel peace prize is not the greatest injustice in the awards history.

Anyone can be nominated...and anyone is nominated every year.

People who never did anything for peace yet won the award:
1. Yasir Arafat
2. Al Gore
3. Barack Obama

I'll repeat myself again...
Ghandi. Never. Won.

That should put this "prize" in perspective.

not anyone can just nominate someone. someone within the commitee must nominate. so its not like some kid from texas can nominate ross perot.

look, i never wanted to use this as a basis of argument because i dont believe it to have any baring on why i voted him. but lets get to the very basics here. obama was voted in by the people of the united states as the first black president. voted in by the people of a country with a long history of racial intolarance and racial friction. i never wanted to use that as a crutch to lean on, because its all the same to me. but for a lot of people, its not. and if you dont think thats something in of its self, then thats really sad.

edit: though im not accusing you or saying you cant see that. sorry if that seemed provokative.

you dont think so? with so many hate crimes and genocides and such, you dont think that has anything to do with anything? maybe he wasnt the best candidate, but at the same time, i dont see why it should take away.

Yes, it is sad that some people perpetuate racism and class warfare . . . the very ones that claim to be in opposition. I don't take skin color into account whatsoever when voting, and I think that the large, previously silent, majority in this country does not either.

Black, yellow, red, purple . . . it doesn't matter to me, nor to many people. Racism will not die because some people won't let it.

The big O simply has misguided, crazy, radical, dangerous policies. End of story.

Holy crap. These stupid arguments of Bush, race, etc., are getting really, really tedious.

(5 left-leaning jackasses in Norway....they went through hundreds of names this year and came up with Obama. Priceless!)

every candidate from opposite side of the political spectrum has "radical, misguided, crazy, dangerous policies." i mean, i myself would be banging my head on the wall if that senile hypocriate with his bimbo comrad won the election instead.

Facts vs mean-spiritedness. Big difference.

The Nobel Prize is simply an award presented to whomever has most prominently advanced worldwide liberal causes. As such, Obama is the perfect choice...he'll win Nobels like Gretzky won Harts by the time he's through. A bigger question should be why anyone gives a shit still about the Nobel Prize anyway? It's like bitching about who won an Academy award...so what?

Irrelevant.

yeah, again. both sides.

Fortunately the other prizes aren't picked by this committee, otherwise the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences would probably go to 50 Cent for his outstanding work "Get rich or die trying"
