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:
I told people not to vote for Obama! Not many listened! Many voted for him twice. He bought change but no hope, the worst president in US history. Never voted for him. My conscience is clear!! The honor of receiving the Peace Prize was lost when you give this to Obama. Disgraceful!!
Worthless
I DID NOT VOTE FOR THAT GUY FOR PRESIDENT..
Yes….big mistake….too bad you can’t revoke it so that perhaps someday, this prize might have true meaning. As it is now, it’s just a big joke! Kind of like the POS you gave it to!

Joseph Stalin, the Secretary General of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922-1953), was also nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1945 and 1948 for his efforts to end World War II. Amazing that Stalin could be nominated for the prize based on how cruel a dictator he was.
You are right about Adolf$#%&!@* He was nominated once in 1939. Incredulous though it may seem today, the$#%&!@*dictator Adolf$#%&!@*was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a member of the Swedish parliament, an E.G.C. Brandt. Apparently though, Brandt never intended the nomination to be taken seriously. Brandt was to all intents and purposes a dedicated antifascist, and had intended this nomination more as a satiric criticism of the current political debate in Sweden. (At the time, a number of Swedish parliamentarians had nominated then British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlin for the Nobel Peace Prize, a nomination which Brandt viewed with great skepticism. ) However, Brandt’s satirical intentions were not well received at all and the nomination was swiftly withdrawn in a letter dated 1 February 1939.
