I can't wait to read about how big of a joke the (Norwegian) Nobel Prize selecting committee is and that since nazi Germany loved Hitler and so many love Obama, it logically makes Obama Hitler.

Can you people be proud for once that we have a great leader? He is not perfect, nobody is, but for god's sake he is rebuilding what Bush ruined, and Bush ruined A LOT.

We are finally doing things we can be proud of, yet the American people have tried everything in the book against him: he's a commy, a muslim, or a fascist. He wasn't born here. He is hiding his grades from school. He is a liar. Did I miss anything?

I am sure the Nobel Committee just happened to miss all of that when choosing a winner.

  It's funny, the first thing I thought when I heard the news was how certain people on this forum will react I have to admit I was definitely gob smackedsurprised but congratulations to the US.
  
  I'm sure Fox news and all the conservative blogs will now be digging up dirt on all the Nobel Prize committee members and how the Nobel Prize means nothing... but they did a lot of that after Al Gore won one

  "So what is the Nobel committee after in this case? Gro Holm, the senior commentator on foreign affairs at the Norwegian Broadcasting Corp., says that the prize committee was probably trying both to ratify Obama’s immense international popularity and put pressure on him to deliver on the promise of greater international peace and stability."

I must live in an alternative reality. What exactly has President Obama done to receive a Nobel Peace Prize?

What conflict did he end? For what historic issue has his leadership provided a breakthrough?

Congratulations to him, but I thought prizes of this significance were awarded for high achievements. His presidency has promise & potential, but at this early juncture, I fail to see any milestone to justify this honor.

If talking nice & playing well with others is what now constitutes the criteria for a Nobel Peace Prize, then I nominate Big Bird or Burt & Ernie.

  Thanks, but I'd already read the article.
  
  So he received it for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".
  
  Sorry. I just do not see any "extraordinary" efforts. He is talking nice & playing well with others on the world stage, but so far, there has been no policy changes implemented that have addressed issues in a manner that has cooled off any of the hotspots around the globe.
  
  I wish the man & his presidency all the best & pray for him to have wisdom & discernment to lead well, but prizes of this magnitude used to be about historic achievements.

  Agreed. He was nominated only 11 days after he began his term of president. While I don't see any issue with him being nominated within a few years, or if he were to win a second term, this is just a little too soon. Promises...they are something you make to your wife or your child. Our country needs to stop living off of promises and needs to start getting actual results. I don't hate Obama, even as a republican. I can say that yes, he has managed to pull this country together, but more as a celebrity than a politician.

  He's the executive officer, not the maker of the law. That's Congress' job. He can enforce the law and even suggest changes to the law, but he can't make it. That's not his job.
  
  So as far as continuing to try to send a message of hope, he's doing what he's supposed to be doing.
  
  And if you think about it. It's what he should be doing.

  UW it's not just you, we've sent our kids to do our best for freedom loving people around the world. Alot have died giving up their lives and they allready had freedom. We feel it's so important that we would die for your right to know freedom. It is so infuriating to have people blow-off our sacrifices right or wrong, it only cheapens those young lives. Do we get it right everytime ? Hell no! But who else is even coming close to the same effort? I promise you the people on the ground believe what they are doing is right and good! It's unfair to those families who have sacrificed to have to listen are supposed friends criticize our efforts. They lost a son or daughter and only one came forward and made a fool of herself. The rest believed even through their grief it was the right thing to do. Thats why we don't want to be sucked into the liberal vortex so many of our,so called, friends have.

  This just goes to show that socialists talk a lot about political dissent, but only when it assists them. Out of the other side of their mouth, they are trying to shut others up. They lack the intellectual and emotional patience to listen to, and to respond to, a dissenting view.
  
  President Obama is a socialist. He is taking the nation in the wrong way in so many areas, it's dizzying: health care, the debt, abortion, Afghanistan, America's Christian heritage, the death lobby, the "Czars" (even autocratic Russia only had one). This is why his party is going to lose in 2010.
  
  The Nobel Committee got it right when they gave the peace prize to Solzhenitsyn and Mother Teresa, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day....

  To those making rational points: If there is one argument that I think is credible is that it is early; I agree. He has not had enough time to put his money where his mouth is, but the difference he has made up to this point, in my opinion, is marked. The fact is that HE was chosen, whatever way you spin it (and not by American liberals). I am certainly proud of his accomplishments and proud of my country.

  The argument that Obama bribed the Nobel Prize committee sounds more like a conspiracy theory than a rational argument. Most of those who support it (a lot of people, evidently) are simply proud that America can be viewed in a positive light once again; that our leader is trying to heal wounds, not create them, like our last one. They certainly don't look foolish.
  
  I respect the opinion of those who disagree, but not of those who just resort to name-calling and fear-mongering, which was an all-too predictable reaction from an America that passes from calling him communist to nazi without any sense of irony.

  Typical leftist response. "If you disagree with me you are a hate-filled racist." This has been in the Democrat Party playbook for years.

Jimmy Carter played the race card the other day, but he's senile and is still living in the Pre-Brown Georgia south.

Reporting from my "heavily Democrat" little corner in Massachusetts, US:

People are on the radio, saying they sincerely thought it was a joke. They're raising questions about the nomination deadline supposedly being February 1, 09; and asking what it is Obama did between the time he was inaugurated in January and the nomination deadline.

I actually thought it was a joke too, because yesterday at this time there was a joke news bulletin on about how Obama is suffering from bi-polar disorder (and then they want on with what later was clearly a joke).

(I don't make the news. I just report it. )

Inside the US our economy is collapsing and our unemployment growing, our government is grossly mismanaging tax money and embroiled in one scandal after another. Yes Obama has taken impressive steps towards many noble goals and I do think he will accomplish much and change things, but the truth is he hasn't done it yet...it's not disrespectful or insulting to say that, but recognizing the facts of the issue.

  So, the Nobel Prize committee is aligned with the Democrats? Whether you will accept it or not, what the US does does effect the rest of the world. This has nothing to do with internal US politics. There are a lot of IF's in your comment. I pay attention to a lot, just because I disagree with you does not mean I am wrong or that you are right.
  
  And, if Obama does screw up it would be ridiculous to assume that all minority candidates wouldn't get a chance. You don't have to be a minority president to screw things up as your president's have proven time and time again.

I realize that sometimes my comments may go over some heads. All I really mean is, that we can't all participate in the parade, sometimes we just need to sit on the sideline and cheer, or at least observe. The committee that chooses the Nobel winners have a right to choose whom they want. I agree sometimes it seems nuts, but it is their choice. Peace, CC

Look for socialism or communism to work every body has to contribute, so how do you or our president propose to get welfare refugees, crack addicts, prostitutes, hustlers, pimps, illegals, lazy, stupid, uneducated, unmotivated, under-educated and rip-offs to buy in and start producing their fair share? Will you ask the motivated to work harder so they can carry the load or will you dummy-them-down to lets say street walker mentality? Or how about they work real hard but to be fair they only get the check a welfare mom gets? How long do you think they'll keep working that hard for no rewards?

  Well, if you believe in being isolationist then you should not agree with any exports or imports (and that includes oil). I'd like to see how long the US would last if the borders were totally locked. The US puts tarriffs on imports also; there is a long ongoing fight over softwood lumber between the US and Canada. Other countries criticizing the US is no different than the US criticizing other countries; it's a two way street.

Frankly, my first thought was that it was more a big old F*** YOU to Bush than an actual award to Obama. And happy as I am to flip off Bush, this doesn't seem like the most appropriate way to do it. ~shrugs~

By KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE, Associated Press Writers

Obama's election and foreign policy moves caused a dramatic improvement in the image of the U.S. around the world. A 25-nation poll of 27,000 people released in July by the Pew Global Attitudes Project found double-digit boosts to the percentage of people viewing the U.S. favorably in countries around the world. That indicator had plunged across the world under President George W. Bush.

The award appeared to be a slap at Bush from a committee that harshly criticized Obama's predecessor for his largely unilateral military action in the wake of the Sept. 11 terror attacks. The Nobel committee praised Obama's creation of "a new climate in international politics" and said he had returned multilateral diplomacy and institutions like the U.N. to the center of the world stage.

perhaps he received the award for what he had accomplished in the year ending at feb. 1. for those with a short attention span, there was excitement and electricity in the air, not just in america, but many parts of the world.

there was hope. there was a chance for change. it's obvious that the award was given based on the sense of unity prior to feb 1.

what he has done since then is of no relevance to what he did before then. in fact, if the award were based on achievements achieved from february 1 until today, there is little doubt it would have been given to sarah palin. you betcha.

One has to wonder what fantasy trip the Nobel prize committee was on to have even considered this nomination yet alone ratify it. Apparently the planned world apology tour blaming “evil Americans” for all the world’s ills was enough for the 5-member committee, comprised of 4 women, including one avowed socialist, to swoon.

Since invitations to nominate are sent out to “qualified” nominators in September and must be post marked not later than February 1st and it only takes one “qualified” person to nominate, it is reasonable to assume the Obama machine had this one in the works for a while. Imagine doing all that peace prize stuff in just 10 days after the January 21st inauguration. Oh wait, how long does it take for a letter to get to Norway from here?

He must have gotten it for picking out the correct drapes or a bedspread with a Norwegian pattern. What a joke and a Hoax.

Who might the qualified nominator be? Considering the nominators qualifications rules list I would guess this “honor” fell upon Former President and Peace Prize winner Jimmy Carter. And since this information is kept, by rule, under wraps for 50 years we can only guess. Way to go Jimmy, another fell swoop in your continuing fight to prove us all idiots to the rest of the world.

We can now assume this great hollow victory will now be considered a success and another stepping stone along the path of the continued campaign towards mediocrity and the one world vision of socialistic complacency.

The left’s fawning is beyond laughable.

it does tend to diminish the value of the prize itself. Ghandi suffered and endured much in his quest for peace. the President was given this honor for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".

i didn't see anything "extraordinary" in his first two weeks as President, or since.

"extraordinary" means: "beyond what is ordinary or usual; highly unusual or exceptional or remarkable; "extraordinary authority"; "an extraordinary achievement"; far more than usual or expected".

i would say this about anyone who won after a two-week-old body of work, not just Barack Obama.
