Don't be ridiculous he should accept the prize and deposit the $$ in the Treasury.  Drop in the bucket perhaps but every little bit counts.

The cost of flying him over there to accept the award will probably exceed whatever cash he gets.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

YO OBAMA, I'M GONNA LET YOU FINISH, BUT I JUST WANNA SAY THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING JR WAS THE BEST NOBEL PRIZE WINNER OF ALL TIME.

Well then he should have turned it down. -_-

Would you have?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

He would still be officially a recepient, but the act of turning it down would be much, much cooler.

Yes, but by the same token I'm not the sort of exceptionally over-the-top egomaniac that would ever have been elected President in the first place. :)

Can I get a Peace Prize too?

I know!  I know!  They are getting ready to announce they are changing it to the "Nobel Hope and Change Prize" and didn't want to have to re-award the prize mid-stream. :smarty:

Not fair.  Cal, as great as he is, is not the second coming.
I am great in the same sense that The Great Grape Ape is great.  :bowler:

You would turn down a million dollar prize?

See, this thing is a Catch-22.

I probably would not turn down a million dollars, but there's no way I'd be elected President... so I'd never be presented with the million dollars to turn down.  I think a safe answer for me is "I would never accept the Nobel Peace Prize".  :)

Well, duh, we all knew it the moment we picked him.  The rest of us kept our mouth shut, though.  The cabal will not be happy.
