    You are a disgrace for hating America and your President. It is up to the Nobel Prize committee to decide what they want to reward. I am sure they heard the views of those who take no pride in their country and are opposed to world peace. Obviously that's not what they based their decision on. ∠°)

    Norway is a socialist country so why would anyone be surprised to see the newest and most visible "wonder child" of the socialist ideal, obama, get a meaningless prize? Not worth getting upset over.

    To show you how stupid the Nobel prize has become, do you think it was an "accident" that the first non-Caucasian president of the USA was nominated for it before he'd spent 2 weeks in the White House?

    He's a rock star and this is his "grammy".

    The cute news today was that it is Bo's (the First Dog) birthday! Happy Birthday, BO! Maybe they'll find another Nobel prize in his box of Milk Bone.

    I just finished reading a book about Buddha and I thought peaceful thoughts. Where is MY Nobel prize, eh...?

    What about all of the people who have devoted their entire lives to peace? It is not the intention of the Nobel Peace prize to look at everyone who does that. The committee gave it's reasons as to why the picked Obama. If you are so emotional about these things, why don't you read their arguement and respond to it? Then, at least I could respond to your arguement and prove you wrong. But now, there is no arguement, nothing to prove wrong, and you are simply showing you know nothing about the Nobel peace prize process or why Obama was nominated.

    Can anyone see the conspiracy now. A person who is not a U.S. citizen, becoming a senator, then U.S. president, being elected through a organization known to be corrupt, using LOADS of money from outside the U.S., now receiving The Nobel Peace Prize, "for what". Don't this look at least a little strange even to the most casual observer. Couldn't this just be another brick in the wall to cause a division within the UNITED STATES, " Untill now, I never been proud to be an American" Hu............

    If Obama's Nobel peace prize is based on his dreams for peace then i guess all students should be awarded their relevant degrees based on their dreams and aspiration.

    It's a total disgrace. I wonder what he did to "deserve" it. Is it just his intentions? I want to go find a cure for the common cold, end hunger, and violence. Give me a medal now.

    So the reich wing thought it was wonderful the US lost the Olympics, which President Obama campaigned for, and think its horrible that he won a Nobel Peace Prize. Your priorities are sooooo warped.

    He deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for putting up with the right wing extremists in this country. You can tell who they are, because their heads are about to explode and popcorn is going to start flying out all over the place. Get a grip on it, honey. No one said life was fair.
