BARACK OBAMA for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.
These are some people that you might know that have won in the past. Compared to what these peoples have done Obama looks like a fool.. Can someone tell me what he has done that is just so great??
I am complaining because the person that ran against him, actually deserved this. He did extrodinary things…
Did Obama deserve to beat out Greg Mortenson? Mortenson was nominated for the prize by some members of Congress, who the bookies gave 20-to-1 odds of winning. Son of a missionary, a former army Medic and mountaineer, he has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. His Central Asia Institute has built more than 130 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan - a mission which has, along the way, inspired millions of people to view the protection and education of girls as a key to peace and prosperity and progress

Would you rather see a non-American win?
How would America be better off if that happened?
What are you complaining about really?

You left off Jimmy Carter.
Obama inspired millions to embrace hope. He didn’t inspire you, but he inspired most people in this country, and it seems, most people the world over.

Nominations closed 12 days after he’d been in office. This means he must have been awarded it for moving into the white house and buying his kids a dog. That’s about all he did in the first fortnight.

Not the most fool though. Saddam Hussein got it in ‘84 or something, but you wouldn’t find his name on the list.

Now you ought to know better than to post cold, hard facts and comparisons on here where the Obama disciples can see them; it scares and enrages them. Notice how one of them is calling you names and saying it’s been discussed "to death". This is the standard Obama disciple reaction to unpleasant facts - meaning any facts that call Obama’s godhood into question.
Nirv - don’t know where you got those numbers, but they’re ridiculous. They only announced this award today, didn’t they? How the heck could anybody poll the entire country, let alone the entire world, that fast? Make stuff up, okay, but at least keep it believable.
