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:
Why di I not believe this.
Apology like regret a little too late just as the award was far too early- The Nobel Peace Prize has been contaminated and cheapened forever.
These people represent us, are you kidding
No$#%&!@* Nobel dummies you should wait to see what someone actually accomplishes BEFORE YOU HAND OUT PRIZES!! TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM & RESTORE YOUR CREDIBILITY OTHERWISE WATCH THE MEANING OF YOUR ACCOLADE & ALL of its history DIMINISH! ITS DESTRUCTION HAS ALREADY BEGUN!!
IMHO, after this fiasco the nobel peace prize means absolutely nothing any more.
True…I knew it…I must be a genius
Just like voting Bruce Jenner woman of the year! Other countries are laughing at us! That commercial he did was a total insult and disgrace to Marilyn Monroe and to women!
It shocked the world when ya gave it to him! It lost all it’s value! WHAT REASON DID YOU HAVE FOR GIVING THE TRAITOR THE MEDAL TO BEGIN WITH? YOU REGRET IT NOW BECAUSE IT MEANS NOTHING SINCE GIVING IT TO OBAMA!!
A little late
I always wondered why he ever got one. Never made sense to me.
