It was the moment when the entire world laughed at liberals and then lost all respect for the Nobel Prizes. When Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, even the fresh-faced president pretended to be a little shocked. “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize,” Obama said at the time. Still, he accepted the prize over several other much more worthy candidates. What did he do to deserve the prize?
Now, in a traditional Homer Simpson “doh!” moment, a former director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute has acknowledged that, in hindsight, he’s not so sure if giving the prize to Obama was a good move either. More regrets on the next page:
This is what I say. It is worthless now.
I never did learn why he received the award anyway.
Gee – 7 yrs. late and a million dollars short-he didn’t do anything to deserve it and he’s done quite a bit since to undermine peace.
they shoule. I could not believe that they gave one to a former V.P. of the U.S. for his reading of a report on global warming. He did not have a clue about the subject but his fool was given the Nobel peace prize and Mother Teresa, who had spent a life helping the poor was passed over after all of her work and the Prize was given to a useless politican who did not have a clue and had never done anything but read a report. This world has turned upside down. The butts have become the leaders.
Sort of how you people resented Hank Aaron , breaking old fat boy’s home run mark ! You people aren’t the only ones in the USA , your number is up ! Align yourselves to the puppeteer , it’s such a show watching the unjust majority get their asses handed to them , by a con man! Obama kicked$#%&!@*!
Yes as worthless as the people who have been awarded it lately

Well he, d cried on national television if he wont had got it and written his own law to receive it he, s a disgrace
They have lost all creditability !
