October 10, 200916 yr :lol: I just find it funny that there is so much derision toward Obama himself for this. It's not like he was in on the voting. :idunno: Exactly. Fault the process, fault the voters.
October 10, 200916 yr This just in! Obama looks like the favorite to win the Heisman. Now THAT was funny.:thumb:
October 10, 200916 yr Very undeserving, but I would bet that Obama probably didn't want to win this award, at least at this point in his term. Either way, the Nobel Peace Prize is, and has been for a little while, a complete joke.
October 10, 200916 yr I'm guessing the White House staff will make sure Kanye West in nowhere near Oslo when Obama receives his award.
October 10, 200916 yr Why has no one mentioned that Obama himself was not only surprised, but felt he was undeserving?Yet he said he'd accept it...

Either way, the Nobel Peace Prize is, and has been for a little while, a complete joke.While you may be right, if he felt so undeserving the right thing to do would have been to graciously decline. He didn't do that. I agree, the Nobel Peace Prize has been a complete joke for years now.
October 10, 200916 yr I friend sent me this, & I believe he is correct: Let's see: Jimmy Carter in '02, Al Gore in '07, and now Barack Obama in '09. Yep, it's officially become the Nobel Prize for Not Being George W. Bush. There's no doubt about it.
October 10, 200916 yr While you may be right, if he felt so undeserving the right thing to do would have been to graciously decline. He didn't do that. I agree, the Nobel Peace Prize has been a complete joke for years now. I think he was in a no-win situation. If he declined the award then a lot of people would start saying, "Barack Obama is TOO good for the Noble Peace Price". :lol: :lol: But, either way it's a joke award.

I, on the other hand, would have gained a lot more respect for him had he turned it down.
October 10, 200916 yr Yet he said he'd accept it... Oklahoma happily accepted a bid to play in the BCS title game last year even though everyone agreed Texas should get it.
October 10, 200916 yr The stated reason for Obama's win follows: "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." Has he done that in a worldwide sense?
October 10, 200916 yr I'm guessing the White House staff will make sure Kanye West in nowhere near Oslo when Obama receives his award. Ba-da-bing.
October 10, 200916 yr Oklahoma happily accepted a bid to play in the BCS title game last year even though everyone agreed Texas should get it.You're comparing this to sports? Really?
