"OSLO (AP) - President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president" SOURCE
When I saw the above news - at first glance I thought it was a joke - and when I realized it was for real my next thought was:
FOR WHAT??
Clearly the neophyte President Obama and his untested international policies have produced NOTHING - no substantive results upon which they can be judged. So now the Nobel Peace Prize is given for fledgling ideas?
But there are things about Obama that would appeal to these European elites:
1 He bashes America - so do they - including American writers competing for the Nobel Prize for Literature
2 He apologized for America's supposed "past sins" and arrogance - that's what they want to hear - He apologized AGAIN and AGAIN so much so that the British media begged him to stop as they feared in his doing so Obama was weakening America. But he didn't and when he and his wife Michelle flew to Copenhagen, Denmark to try and talk the Olympic Committee into awarding the 2016 Summer Olympics to Chicago...........he bashed America again.
3 He praises Islam - and their despots - and he grossly overrated muslims numbers and importance in American life -so do they.
4 He bowed and showed subservience to the Saudi King/Islam even as the Saudis are funding the worldwide Global Caliphate and terrorism
5 He refuses to point the finger directly at Islamics for causing terrorism worldwide - in fact the elites along with some European leaders think one musn't even put Islam and terrorism in the same sentence (sound familiar)
6 He bashes Israel and makes them the 'bad guy' in the Middle East - so do they
Thus Obama talked the RIGHT talk and bowed the RIGHT bow----------------and has been prematurely awarded with a prize that should be given for results not lofty rhetoric.
I'm sure the Obama's are ecstatic and will be opening a celebratory bottle of champagne - perhaps in doing so they should ponder that -for most - one needs to first grow and pick the grapes then make the wine and let it age to perfection before being rewarded with the bubbly results.
If that is how they do things in Norway perhaps I will go to the University of Oslo to get my Phd. After I tell them how wonderfully well I am going to to, they might just give it to me saving me years of study.

The Nobel Peace Prize has been cheapened ever since it was handed out to the terrorist Yasser Arafat. If it were my choice, I'd give it to Benezir Boto (RIP) or Cindy Castano.
What no one seems to understand is that this noble prize IS A SPIN, A SCAM, AND ITS TRUE REASON IS THAT THE VALUE OF THE $ IS GOING STEEPLY DOWN AND THEY WANT TO REVERSE THAT. It was of economic-political reasons. Just watch the stock markets next week and see the $ and American stocks jumping up.
The dollar was on its way to be worth a piece of toilet paper, so they needed something to stir the shit pot up to make it rise. Whenever something "big" happens in the US, their stock market is going crazy and this was the true reason to it.

Interesting to note that by the deadline for nomination submissions to the Nobel Committee, Obama had been in office for only TWELVE DAYS!
Astonishing.
The Nobel Peace prized ceased to have credibility after it was awarded to Yasser Arafat in 1994. This latest fiasco merely serves to reinforce that belief.
