    Default NOBEL PEACE PRIZE WINNER Barack Obama

    忽见柳荫下两个小孩子在哀哀痛哭,瞧模样正是武敦儒、武修文兄弟。郭芙大声叫道:「喂,你们在干甚麽?」武 修文回头见是郭芙,哭道:「我们在哭,你不见麽?」

    Saw it a few hours ago. Absolutely ridiculous IMHO.

    I was simply shocked when I read the news this morning. President Obama may have good intentions for world peace, but he hasn't succeeded at anything yet. All just promises. They should have at least waited until he finished 1 term of presidency first.

    And I always thought the Nobel Peace Prize was really difficult to get and that one has to accomplish great deeds to even be nominated.

    Btw, is the award handed out annually?

    This is sickening, to say the least.

    So US presidents that don't invade other countries earn a peace prize now?

    Maybe this is a reflection of the current lack of peace in the world. Maybe he's the best they got? If so, that is quite sad.

    I wouldn't say sickening, but definitely rather surprising.

    Yo, Obama, I'm real happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but Lester B. Pearson was one of the best Nobel Peace Prize winners of all time, one of the best Nobel Peace Prize winners of all time!

    I would only find it unreasonable if Obama was awarded a Nobel Scientist award. Since he promotes the idea of anti-nuclear (being the US president), I didn't think it was ridiculous.
    What can I say? I'm still standing! No weapon against me shall prosper! I am more than a conqueror!!!

    I don't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?

    Yeah, but anyone can promote an idea. How does he stand out from the rest? He's done nothing yet.
    I feel bad for him though, this has made him look like a joke more than anything, and he didn't really ask for this did he?

    Actually, Obama deserves the Nobel Chemistry Award. The guy just has great chemistry.

    I agree. He hasn't done anything yet to deserve the prize. Hence my Kanye joke about Obama and Lester B. Pearson - at least Pearson has done something somewhat significant when he won. But to be honest, the Nobel Peace Prize is sort of a joke anyway - just look at the fact that people like Ghandi have never won, even though they totally deserved to.

    This thing reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they sent Homer into space to promote ratings. It almost seems like the Nobel Prize committee decided to give this prize to someone current and popular right now to boost their "ratings" or just so people are aware that this Nobel Prize deal is still happening.
