love to see the politics come out front and center.

I do agree though this was definitely a shot at W. and his go it alone and F the rest of the world mentality.

Lighten up... it was a joke. I think we can all agree that Obama did NOTHING to "earn" the nomination... and the whole Nobel organization has no clue...

Well he was likely to win in the future anyway for some tenuous reasons. They've just gotten it out of the way early enough to show what a farce it is.

I think they're trying to influence action in Afghanistan as well. Can you imagine a Nobel Peace Prize winner ramping up there? I think they hope that thought echoes through the WH.

I imagine Bill Clinton hit the roof when he heard about the award. Carter won, Obama won, and even Clinton's VP won. Guess they didn't like Clinton's capital gains tax cuts.

Awarding Obama this prize is a joke on a comic scale.

True. I think his tone and how different his foreign policy is from Bush is what won him the award. Deserved or not is up to the committee.

I didn't want to laugh..i tried. but i couldn't help it.

btw, i don't believe that obama should have been awarded a peace prize at such an early stage, simply because i don't see things any more peaceful.

Maybe now that he's got the prize in his pocket, Obama will get the generals some troops to the Middle East and begin to protect this nation's interests rather than try to improve our "image" for the rest of the world.

I'm not so sure this wasn't a "pre-emptive" award by the Nobel Foundation... to force Obama to play along... my fear is that it will have the opposite effect and "cut and run". He certainly has not listened to the generals and other military advisors so far... * sigh *
