It lost its reputation when it was given to Al Gore. Giving it to Obama based on a campaign speech (lie) was a joke on the world.

I agree, the prize has lost integrity, not just because of Obama, but scammer Al Gore was unbelievably awarded it too.

Don't forget....Carter got his for "negotiating the nuclear disarmament of north korea."

In fairness though he did deserve one for brokering some of the middle east peace that actually held up.

I guess we should give him the cy young award too?

Bob, seek help. Seriously.

Especially since Obama is a republican.

Yemeni Muslim Brotherhood member wins Nobel Peace Prize

"The Arab Spring cannot be successful without including the women in it," Jagland said.

He said Karman, 32, belongs to a Muslim movement with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group "which in the West is perceived as a threat to democracy." He added that "I don't believe that. There are many signals that that kind of movement can be an important part of the solution."

No matter how much I tried, I never understood the idea behind the nobel peace prize. Isn't it supposed to be awarded to people who make peace? The last 30 years peace prize winners had little to do with peace.

They gave it to Arafat in the 90s!!
Besides, look at the people awarding this peace price. Their whole view on the world is quit different from most Americans.
Im Swedish by the way but I have lived here sense 99.

But ever since Obama was aburdly awarded it a couple years ago, that prize has lost most of its credibility and honor with this writer.
I didn't even click on your link about the winner. See?

Actually you should read the profiles this year. I read about the women from liberia, and they were pretty cool.
