If there is anything more absurd than Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize (for doing what?!?), it's Barack Obama actually accepting it! The best thing he could have done would have been to politely refuse the award. It would have made him appear so much more honest and respectable. Mr. Obama is just another politician. He has demonstrated this again and again. Broken campaign promises. Revived failed financial policies from the past. The Emperor Wears No Clothes!
@Tnoy34rt - Obama was nominated for the damn thing 3 weeks into office! The award is a fraud anyway. What do you expect when war monger Henry Kissinger is awarded the nobel PEACE prize. The award has no credibility! Obama is nothing but a puppet just like every other president.
yes, but it's also given for "future" vision, (read nobel's will) so Obama is perfect for the prize since he holds so much promise for our world's peace.
no, Obama has been his own man, elected by the "people", doing the work of the "people"... so check facts before you post here again.
Yes, but that Wiki definition is not an Norwegian custom... I'm Norwegian and understand a "prize" can also be give for "promise of future direction." Just like Nobel envisioned.
Obama just passed Health Care, bringing the USA up to modern health standards, so the PRIZE was foretelling.
@maciindrew "Obama just passed Health Care, bringing the USA up to modern health standards, so the PRIZE was foretelling."
People who take away your liberty don't deserve a prize. Nor do people who pass/sign in to law massive spending bills with no real hope of being able to pay for them. They deserve to be run out of office. Which is what I hope to see starting this autumn.
but nobody is suggesting taking away any of our liberty. the healthcare law gives us MORE liberty, not less don't forget. the law reduces spending by $1.3 Trillion, so it once again shows how frual Obama is... Congrats America for finally having a TRUE leader!
Yes, we need to get the BIG SPENDING Republicans OUT of office, join the fight!
@tnoyy34rt The Constitution gives the federal government the power to regulate interstate commerce. It does not, however, give it the power to *force* you to engage in commerce. The government does not have the right to *force* you to buy health insurance if you don't have it. Using *force* to make you buy insurance is an assault on essential liberty. (Force = Fines or jail if you refuse to pay.) The consequences of Obamacare are too extensive for a YT comment box. Keep drinkin' that kool-aid!
and the new law doesn't "force" you to buy anything, you always have the "option" of paying the additional tax to cover your expenses once you get sick.
.
no, jail time would never happen, so don't be sensationalistic.
.
the new healthcare law saves us $1.3 Trillion over the old law, so why are you also against saving money? you make no sense...
@Tnoy34rt are you ok with that? them deciding without us? none of the things that got him voted are done yet. not that this was ever a democracy, a republic to start, but never a democracy. now the government just does what they want, and we say wow look at all the things they are doing, they must love us. how can you trust someone who still uses 9/11 to justify iraq?
@tnoyy34rt democrats are actually the spenders, republicans are suppose to be the "limited government" (less spending) guys, but ron paul is the only rep. to talk about limited government, and ralph nader is the only liberal to talk about it. so you really aren't sure about anything are you? big spending republicans? lol its like pro-wrestling man, dem vs. rep. fake arguing, meanwhile they all spend big. the dems are just nicer. hence good cop bad cop.
Completely stupid award that doesn't mean anything. And he had the cheek to accept it knowing what he has in store. Ron Paul should be getting awards for 'telling truth'

The Nobel Prize isn't always given for past accomplishments, it can and has been given for aspirations, just as Alfred Nobel requested in his will.
So learn about the Prize before you make a fool of yourself. Thanks.
And no, Obama has done well so far, so I think you are out of touch with reality.
Here are 68 accomplishments / promises kept by Obama so far...

"A prize is an award to be given to a person or a group of people to recognise and reward actions or achievements." - WIkipedia
So sorry. You might understand how I could have been confused, as I possess a traditional and, should I say, sane definition of what a prize is.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Ron Paul is obviously a racist.
Black men have earned the right now to be hypocrites and wage costly stupid wars as well as white men.
It's called 'progress'.
