Actually, that's why he got it. What did he do to deserve it........well I guess being black is something.
It was more peace in the Bush era.

Deosn't come close to rising to the stature, contributions and results as a true African American leader, like MLK.

Such a sham. How shallow society has become. Now, we elect presidents based upon likeability, not competency.

You would lose that bet.

And when Al Gore wins over this woman: snopes.com: Irena Sendler anything Nobel dishes out isn't worth spit.

I'm waiting for the day when someone really worthy, after the announcement is made tells 'em to "pound sand"!

Boy, that would really be something. "Sorry but don't want to be considered among that fools parade of dynamite makers and false prophets; see ya. Don't let the door hit your azz on your way out."

I don't think Obama was worthy of the award, but there have been even less deserving men who have won the award. Henry Kissinger comes to mind.

Republicans are Democrats are more divided than ever.
Obama picks fights with states



Why did Obama deserve the Nobel Peace Prize?
Minority quota. Like everything else.

Haha, that would be nice. Send an even more oppressed person to accept the award as an "F.U." gesture, Brando style.

Right, because non-white people rarely win the Nobel Peace award
