You're comparing Obama to Fidel Castro? Really? Show me, policy-wise, how Obama is just like Castro

The nobel prize committee is a bunch of liberal pie in the sky loons. Obama has won it for doing nothing. Other presidents/vice presidents who have won the prize:

1. Al Gore- global warming THEORY...yes it is a theory

2. Jimmy Carter- one of the worst presidents ever. Second president ever to get voted out after only 1 term

3. Woodrow Wilson- put people in jail for speaking out againt world war I, also was a racist

4. Teddy Roosevelt- a liberal Republican, more liberal than some Democrats

That makes the Nobel peace prize almost as prestigious as the MTV music awards!!! what a bunch of assclowns, next they'll be giving him the Hasty Pudding award!

This is another great embarrassment for Obama. I cherish the Olympic committee putting him and the miscreant Michelle in last place better. But if you look at the track record of the Nobel its pretty ugly. Hitler was nominated in 1939 and Stalin was nominated in1945 and 1948. Obama is with the likes of those mass murders along with his brutal dictator friends Chavez, Castro, and Qaddafi.

This is a stupid big joke. Obama geting the prize shows how dirty polotic is. He has been a president för only 10 monthes, he hasnt brought any peace to this world yet and nobody knows he will either. SOMEBODY SHOULD BE THERE TO THROW A SHOE AT HIM WHILE HE TAKES THE PRIZE.

[8161964mc]

thats the truth he has done zero zilch,nada--does he ever do anything  besides getting around the globe apologizing--of course he will have to go to stockholm to accept the award in december--and another chance to apologize to the world again-what a empty suit obama is

[LoryCowery]

this is such a joke.

what has he done to deserve this honor? i mean, the reporters in this video ask this guy repeatedly why obama has been awarded this prize and the only thing that the guy can say is " we are honoring him for his *efforts*"

EFFORTS! youre awarding someone one of the most prestigious awards in the world for HIS EFFORTS!?

how ridiculous is that?

im not a rep. or a dem., and i know that the dems. are really proud of this, but EVEN THEY have got to realize how stupid this is
