This is what happens when you entrust the norwegians with a branch of the nobel prize.

Good job Norway. You just made the nobel peace prize lose all its future credibility.

This would be the equivalent of the swedish academy awarding a nobel prize in literature to Dan Brown.

You know they will justify this the same way they've justified every other crappy decision they ever made: "we can because we have the oil"

Impressively terrible decision.

way too early. giving him the peace prize for his vision of a more peaceful world is like giving the nobel's literature prize for an idea for a novel.

normally it would be good because obama getting the peace prize would make him more likely to succeed - but now it's so comically premature that it just ends up devaluing the prize.

I don't know whether to laugh or to be appalled. Granted, the Nobel Peace Prize has been a sick joke for some time, but this is unprecedented. For god's sake, what did he get it for? Being black?

The nobel peace prize is nothing for me nowadays. The prize has been given to further the commitee's idea of "good politics" way to often the last decades. And yeah, arafat got one, and stalin was nominated for one too. Al Gore was as bad imo. Only thing making me happy is the fact that it's all the norwegians' fault! j/k

They are trying too hard to give out the prize now. -_- God knows the world economy needs a ready injection of prize money, and as such, for their role in preventing the collapse of the world economy, I nominate the nobel peace prize committee for the award in 2010.

Wow hearing this makes me rage even harder than when frigging gore won the award over that holocaust woman.

Oh well guess i can safely turn off my brain in the future when they give out these awards to save myself from getting pissed.

I find it hilarious that a guy who's being "accused" of being too much of a socialist gets the Nobel Prace Prize.
