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:
He should give it back
They need to take it back!
Why they gave it and when they gave turned the noble peace prize into a joke. I couldn’t care less. But there have been some winners that deserved acknowledgement. Kind of a kick in the gut to them.
Shut up Bitches, you knew What you were doing, You were giving a full
Loaded gun to a Crazy Person.
Wow really…you just now wonder that
Who’d have guessed!?!
Who’s more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?
Poor guy was probably receiving constant and terrifying death threats for his candor. No wonder he had to frantically try and backpedal- his life and possibly those of his family are all on the line.
That was a joke
We feel your pain!
