For the drool to dry up at HuffPo, for even a moment, is a huge statement.

Don't bother getting upset about grammar and spelling on the internet. I'm willing to bet that less than one percent of the population actually has a firm grasp on these basic skills.

He's already made plans to go to Oslo, prance around for the cameras in another media spectacle to celebrate his greatness.

Ok, i'll try to get an answer from you Wade, since none of your liberal cohorts can answer it.

What did Barack Obama do to deserve the Nobel Peace Prize after having been nominated only 10 days into his Presidency?

I look forward to an answer, from someone, anyone.

After just watching Obama's 'acceptance' speech, I don't think he's really all that thrilled about this 'honor'. LMAO, I wouldn't be either if I were him. Not with an expansion of the Afghan campaign staring at him. He now has to dance very carefully around a bunch of issues, Iran Afghanistan, N Korea, so much for any hard line stances.

CONGRATULATIONS PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!!
Have you seen the list that lost to Obama. What they have actually done to earn the award.

Obama needs to refuse this award and allow someone that actually earned it get it.

Cheer up neocons! Jesus will return and the rapture will happen when the next republican gets elected. In the meantime suck on these eggs:

1. President Barrack Obama
2. Winner of the Noble Peace Prize

What is this gibberish?

If you're going to post here, at least respect the Forum by posting in english.

What you have posted above is not english (underlined).

And I have no idea what you're trying to say, regardless.

This should not shock any one, of course they gave it to Obama, they gave it to Carter didnt they, Yasser Arafat, the truth is the nobel peace prize, has become a popularity contest for leftists, kind of like, actors winning an oscar, usually doesnt have anything to do with how well their movie did. And no one outside their club really cares.
