Obama did not win the prize in ten days. History will make that clear. If he deserves it later, only time will tell. The prize was a politically motivated message intended to "help" direct the direction of US policy on world events. This "proactive" concept of winning a prize is against the history of the award and sets a bad precedence. Others were more deserving of the prize.

When I watched the news today it was evident that even the most stanch Obama supporters realized that this event "wasn't right".

It is also a little "odd" that the award came just as Obama was making the decision whether or not to escalate the war in Afghanistan. A slight tip might be all that is required to change the direction of the war.


the voting ended when he was only in office for 10 days is what I said.


This might sound weird, but the whole world was closely following the entire election campaign in 2008. They might have ended up liking him during the campaign and like the enthusiasm he was bringing.


That's not weird at all. The whole world was closely watching the entire election campaign. NPR News used to cover the different countries talking about it.

You are correct, as usual. The theory that he won for presidential election promises makes no sense in the light of real history of what any president will typically promise to get elected. The precedent of "what he might do" doesn't sell either. This is a move to affect the direction of world policy.


She's correct, as usual? You're going to give Rose a big head.laugh

I think they gave Obama the Peace Prize as a reward for not being George Bush


I think that deserves a reward and a party. I want a party now...lol

let me clear something up...I wasn't saying that it was based 10 days in office. I said I didn't believe anyone has done anything (good or bad) after being in office for 10 days. I don't agree on the award given for what someone MIGHT do. that goes for anyone...not just BHO. I don't care if you disagree....I just don't think an award should be given on something not done yet. It would mean more to me if I won an award for something I did...not something I might do. slaphead

She walks into Smokey's one hip at a time
Like a broken field runner slippin' through the line
He likes the way she looks so he calls the little wife says
"Don't wait up for me I'll be workin' late tonight"
Wife hangs up the phone, bursts into tears
Calls her sister up and cries "Get over here"

Sister tells her boyfriend be back in awhile
Boyfriend wants a beer, the store is just a mile
He leaves the motor running he'll only be a minute
His car drives away with teenagers in it
The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live
They scream into the night "Let's get it over with"

'Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinning round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun

The kid guns the gas, the car starts to swerve
Heads for a semi truck, jumps the curb
Truck hits a Big Boy in the Shoney's parking lot
And flies through the air takes out the bank clock
Clock strikes a light pole, transformer sparks
Lines go down, town goes dark

Waitress calls the cops, says she saw it all
Swears a giant alien has landed at the mall
Cops ring up the mayor says there's panic in the streets
"We hate to wake you up but we can't find the chief"
Mayor says "Use your head if he ain't in his car
He's hiding from his wife, down at Smokey's Bar"

'Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinning round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun

'Cause and effect, chain of events
All of the chaos makes perfect sense
When you're spinning round, things come undone
Welcome to Earth 3rd rock from the Sun
