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:
Agree
Not as much as we regret his sorry$#%&!@*got in office,,
To bad you never looked past the color of skin back then
AL GORE AND OBUMNER receiving a Nobel Prize! That ? Committee should have their heads examined..
“WHAT” did those “IDIOTS” really do … to receive such an award?
The Nobel Peace Prize is worthless.
Well duh! We still haven’t figured out why he got it in the first place!
Probably not true but should be.
Duh!!!!
You think? Who does this? I agree you lowered your standards and made a Mockery of this Award. It’s like rewarding a person before they’ve proven themselves, to have earned it.
As well they should, no one ever explained, to my knowledge, what he did to deserve it. If someone knows let us all in on it.
