If any more proof was needed of the utter irrelevance of the Nobel Committee, which previously honored Yasser Arafat, this embarrassing piece of nonsense certainly provides it.

I believe that President Obama is a good man, with the best interests of the country at heart. I also believe that he shares my bewilderment at this awkward and idiotic instance of pandering.

Whom, one wonders, will be the next recipient of the Nobel Peace of Custard Pie? Hugo Chavez? Charlie Rangel? Joy Behar?

The Nobel Committee is exposed again as fools and clowns. While world suffers and yearns for peace, they practice philosophical self-abuse.

Analysis: He won, but for what?

Even the obama media can't believe it.

This ain't the Emmys!!!!


This year had a LOT of nominations, I believe I heard somewhere around 200? Pointing out the celerity of his nomination in comparison to when he was sworn in is pointless. He didn't just come into existance the day he became president.
Of course it matters. What was his nomination after 8 days based on?

I guess you didn't bother to read the post I was responding to - about Afghanistan. Nothing amended about it. Your comprehension is the problem.
