Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize exactly TWELVE DAYS into his presidency. The best I recall is that, during that time he visited his kid's school and announced they were getting a puppy. Twelve days isn't long enough for him to find his way to the White House bathroom without some help.

It is believed that Obama's overseas trips during his campaign were, in part, to solicit the Nobel Peace Prize. He just happened to connect with Morimar Khadaffi of Libya while out of the country. He was heavily courting Muslim nations/countries during those visits. He had spent something like 69 days of actual work as a Senator; hardly long enough to get his feet firmly on the floor of the Senate Office Building and had not yet been elected president but was already acting presidential.

People make jokes about Jimmy Carter because he, too, received the Nobel Peace Prize but it was not until after he left office. He has contributed much to the good of mankind because of his tireless years of work building houses for the poor IN THIS COUNTRY with Habitat for Humanity; a charity which he and his wife, Rosalyn, started. He is still working with Habitat for Humanity. That may not have been the reason for the prize but it was good enough for me.

Carter & Reagan were the presidents during the fight with Libya and Morimar Khadaffi. The first order of business for Reagan was to put a bomb down the chimney of Khadaffi's house and killed his adopted child. The battle was essentially finished and Khadaffi backed off because he came so close to being killed. Khadaffi is the same person who laughed when the plane was blown up over Lockerbie, Scotland and provided asylum to the terrorists who did it. Now during the first eight months of his presidency, Obama has welcomed Khadaffi into the United States as a visitor. I took Khadaffi's visit as a slap in the face by Obama. I don't see that as worthy of a Peace Prize of any kind. jmo

Yea, I did. Did I miss something? Gotta excuse me dude, I'm not understanding what ya mean to be telling me. Hit me with it.....I can take it.

Well Bob what about these folks?

• 2001: United Nations, Kofi Annan

• 1994: Yasser Arafat

The UN has been a sick joke for awhile and we should pull out of it.

Kofi Annan is a thief.

Arafat is a dead terrorist.

The prize does not stand for the same things that it did years ago. I think that it is a shame.

Yeah it really is. Barry knows it too. Anybody in their right mind would agree that this has become a blue light special sort of award....it's cheap and if it's your turn in line you can get one. No standards at all.....

They say that the road to hell is full of good intentions!

[RICHYD4U]

Apparently that is all it takes now days to win the Nobel Peace Prize....good intentions (good in their eyes anyways).

I'm intending on having everyone in the world hold hands and sing kumbiya in 2010.....so...am I nominated yet?
