well yes, it would seem that the nobel prize committee, in all their excitement, seemed to be acting prematurely….. this must be the new award for electing a peace-based president.

Hardly worth a Peace Prize.

Aren’t awards supposed given on results, not promises? If awards were given on promises, then I would have my high school diploma right now. Even the best laid plans have the chance to fail. I’m young, and have yet to start my real life, and I understand this. Also, people make promises all the time that they have no intention of keeping. Politicians are the most famous for this, so they should be the ones you definitly don’t give awards to before they do what they say they’re going to do. This is just the wolrd kissing Obama’s a–.

obama is the president of the united states, which means he’s pretty much the most powerful person in the world. bush turned america’s image into one of bravado and a “you’re with us or against us” mentality. obama is trying to unite the world again by opening dialigue with people we may not agree with. he is drawing down forces in iraq, closing guatamino bay, ending torture and trying to figure out afghanistan. what obama has done to the world is make it more optimistic, especially with the us presidency.

there may not be any tangible results, but what the world is saying is that they see american leadership taking the world in the right direction.

Are you kidding me? But he was only Not Bush for eight months. None of us are Bush, why didn’t we get the prize?

What is there to be proud of? Sure, an American President winning the peace prize is great, but if it’s just given out willy-nilly to anyone, it makes winning the prize less… meaningful.

And it also shows that the Nobel commitee, who was until this considered by me to be nonpartisan and very trustworthy, is engaging in political games and is as enamored with Obama as we expected of the mainstream news media. It shows, unfortunately, that the Nobel community is subject to the rockstar charisma of our president.

True, we may be politically motivated to overtly and overly criticize this administration; but it doesn’t mean we’re always wrong because of that. And especially not in this case.

I think this should actually scare us a little bit. If the world is willing to bow down to him before he’s done any thing peaceful, what else are they going to be willing to bow down to him for? This also shows that the world is full of Obama worshipers, not just idiotic young Americans who refse to know any thing but will continue to follow Obama because he’s young and black and not Bush.

why can’t we be proud that an american won the nobel peace prize? the opposition seems to be more politically motivated than those who awarded the prize.

I’m not a conservative or any other kind of political label you feel like tossing around – and *I* think giving the Nobel Peace Prize to *anyone* on the basis of what he has *promised* to do, rather than anything he has actually done, is wrong.

It’s proof that the Nobel Committee no longer gives the award out for achievement, but on the basis of politics. They’ve just devalued the prize itself for all the others who *have* earned recognition for accomplishments.

I’m embarrassed for the rest of the Nobel winners, and for the President, too. He, of all people, should know he has yet to *earn* such an award, so how can he feel “honored and humbled”? It looks contrived, is what it looks like. Sad.

its laughable that conservatives get so emotional over everything that happens to obama.

obama probably received the nobel prize for not being bush. not being bush will bring about more peace to the world than anything than bush did.
