Barack Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize

[Optimator]

It's comedy, because it's is a hopeless simplification of the issues.

I don't disagree with war but awarding a peace price to the president of a country currently at war with 2 countries is just fucking retarded. All he has done to get this award is run his mouth and bash Bush. Lets not give someone the award for doing something...that just wouldn't make sense.

What countries are we at war with again?

[Drmoussaka]

This is just something that they "had" to do. Im not agreeing with the decision. But whom else would you give it to.

Weather you like him or not. He is the first black president whom obviously influenced change across America enough for people to vote him President. Thats reasoning enough to give him the award.

And Again... who else would you give it to at this point?

Let's give it to Mike Singletary since he's turning the SF 49ers around, which is more than Obama has done

There are many more people more deserving of this prize than Obama, Giving out prizes for a politician's promisses is like handing out super-bowl rings before the season has started.

Obama's head is so big now, that his ears actually fit.

No, the Peace Prize is set aside for outstanding accomplishments towards gaining international peace. Again, from Encarta:

"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."

Domestic elections & policies have no place in the selection.

Apparently it does... if he won!

[quickervicar]

No, it doesn't.

“no consideration whatever shall be given to the nationality of the candidates, but that the most worthy shall receive the prize.”
