A bunch of interesting stuff in here.

What I want to know is where are the sources?

Obama winning the peace prize? What?

Nonstop pretty much hit the nail on the head with his expressed opinion on that. Wow.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

I find it amusing that the people in this thread who are telling those of us questioning the award to shut up still haven't provided a substantive reason why he should have received it. Implying that we are complaining just because we want to tear Obama down is not only assuming bad faith, which verges on offensive, it's also preposterous.

i'm not sure if you're referring to me in this, non. in case you missed it, i do NOT believe he deserved this award at all - i don't really think complaining about it will bring any resolution for me but it's everyone's right to do so if they choose. i'm not telling anyone to shut up as i enjoy hearing everyone's opinion on various subjects.

i thought this discussion was a healthy one - i don't recall anything offensive being said or implied by anyone.

I think what people have an issue with can be summed up ...

When you see someone win a contest or a award that didnt really deserve it but maybe they had a nice story or a nice showing or did some nice things in the past ... so you can see why they won it but its not for the reasons that are set before you.

I've seen this so many times on those reality tv shows (my old gf used to force me to watch all those) ... or even simple award shows. I remember The lord of the rings trilogy hardly won any prizes with the first 2 installments and then the last one they won a ton of awards ... and to be honest I didnt think the last one was as good as the 2nd ...

But to bring it back to obama ... while the world sees it as nice that america elected their first black president. And the fact we elected a democratic one instead of another republican. Did the guy really do that much in the first 12 days of office to warrent this award?

Can you compare what he did in the first 12 days of office to those of mother teresa? or even the dalai lama or martin luther king jr.?

I think this is why people are having some difficulties with this.
