It is a trap.  From now on, when Obama considers the military option, he'll think twice because to do so will be somewhat inconsistent with his status as a Nobel peace laureate  :lol:

President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Barack Obama: Might as well, it's not like they are going to give it to me for second time anyway.

I heard this on NPR this morning and I was sure that I had heard it wrong; or it was wishful thinking on the part or NPR or something. 

I find it most amusing that Bill Clinton spent his second term campaigning for the prize only to not get it.  Barack was awarded it with no effort whatsoever. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

How many countries has America invaded since Obama came to power?

NIL

Ergo...Peace Prize.

I thought it was a joke when I first saw it this morning, now that I think of it, it is a joke. I'm gonna start buying cracker jacks again, maybe I'll get a nobel prize also.

Doesn't count you were taking the piss.

But, yet again Languish gets it right, we may take over for the Onion.

Too funny.

Apparently he had 14-1 odds.

I really can't believe they awarded it to him. Evidently the nobel committee can see into the future, where Obama has brought us all world peace.

I really think if there is no one deserving of the award in any given year, they can just refrain from awarding it.  Much better than this.

More to the point, my amazing skills should be recognized and publicly appreciated.

I hear there may be a Nobel Prize available ...  :D

Nope the former Norwegian PM and Nobel Committee head is paying Obama back for his job as head of The Concil of Europe
