Message number will suffice.



I said earlier that the NPP is a very prestigious award and that such an award brings great recognition to the person and the country from where that person comes from.
Can be more clear than that.

Instead of carping and whingeing : you should be proud today.

Nobel prize is awarded from commies to commies...

If Obama is not a socialist & desires to govern from the center,seeking bipartizanship,he should reject that "prize"...

OMG are we calling the Nobel Prize jury or Scandinavian people in general "commies" now? Political science is dead, definitely...

You know, if he had a firm plan to end the Iraq and Afghanistan wars then I could understand this award. As it stands, it's one of the poorer choices I've seen. Doesn't mean Obama is a bad guy or anything but really...there are so many more deserving candidates.

Frankly, I find it rather embarassing for Obama but he can't refuse it.

Why do you always make things personal...maybe you should go back and read the TOS section of CD....I am voicing my opinion...and when last I looked, we still had freedom of expression in this Country...

Where do you do your standup routine?


You need to familiarise yourself, with Alfred Nobel.
(hint : he's the guy who established the Nobel prizes).

Good lad.

President Barrack Hussein Obama ! winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize !

all you haters are probably revolting! Maybe you thought Bush should have won for "freeing" thousands of people in Iraq & Afghanistan instead!

So far only two US Presidents have won the Nobel and that is Carter & Obama!

If American's weren't nauseated because of Obama-overexposure, surely they are now. No thinking person on this planet can ascribe a single accomplishment that Barack Obama has achieved to deserve such an award. Barf-o-rama has commenced.
