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 should get the prize for trying to warn them.
I certainly hope so!!
True. If the Nobel Prize committee can make a decision on something like the PEACE prize without more time and attention invested than they gave on it, then it doesn’t earn the respect it used to have. Just makes you wonder about the rest of the decisions they made on all their prizes they give out. I don’t bother to keep up on them anymore, myself.
A fraud got that prize
Suppose it was bought & paid for by soros!!! This punk didn’t deserve anything!!!
Ya think?
Take it back

Could have told them it was a bad idea when they did it.
