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:
The Nobel Peace prize became meaningless the day Obama received it based on what he SAID he would do and not on actual deeds.
Take it back
Yeah, what great thing did he do to deserve the No-bell prize?? Just plain weird………………belief in it went waaaaaaaaaaaaaay down…..
I knew the Nobel Prize wasn’t worth a hill of beans when they gave it to Al Gore. Then when they gave it to Obama for merely being elected took away any doubt I might have had.
Its proves they were idiots we will never take this prize the same again
The dumbest thing the Nobel has ever done in history
Take it away
Can’t they ask for it back. The medal and the million dollars.
NOW, at least, the Nobel Committee has some credibility!
Of course
