It's like a movie being nominated for an Academy Award 11 days into filming... even if the actual decision came a little later, it should never have been nominated in the first place, no matter how good you think the finished product will be!

I'm confused. He was nominated 11 days after taking office....but what about before he had taken office? Couldn't he have been nominated for things he had done before he was president?

Who knows who nominated him? You can't blame the committee for that.

And just what did he do before taking office? He was a Senator who only showed up to work for about 140 days before effectively dropping out to run for President, and never did anything of substance and import. Before that, he was a "community organizer" in bed with scum like Tony Rezko, Bill Ayers, Rev. Wright, and Rashid Khalidi, among many others. So no, he has never done anything in his life to warrant a nomination, much less win.

I'm simply stating the facts on the ground. If Obama does something praiseworthy, I'll say good job. But I'm not going to sugar-coat the truth of the politics behind this award... why should I?

Is it my duty to be happy, because Lech Walesa won the Peace Nobel in the past? Do you thin the 305(?) millions of people must to be happy? People in Soviet Russia, the Soviet Union must loved Lenin and Stalin, and they loved them. The Campaign looked like total insanity, and this insanity made one step more. That prize is the confirmation of the changing in US and global politics. Socialism, protectionism, trade unions, ecology instead freedom.

Samurai said that Nobel has been given by commies to commies, and he's right. That's why Obama and Walesa won.
