Giving a "peace prize" to a sitting head of state is in any case faintly absurd, like giving a Gruber Prize to Roman Polanski, but giving it to a sitting American head of state while his country is engaged in two major conflicts resulting from its occupation of supposedly sovereign foreign countries because of "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between people" is like giving me the Nobel Prize in Medicine because I promise all my bareback partners that I am going to cure AIDS. Well, it's fine then! The White House reports that The Obama is humbled by the news.

It's because of his winning smile, dontcha know?
From this day forward, let all photographers tell their subjects to say
"Obambel"
Well, Nobel did invent dynamite. Maybe they found a hitherto-undiscovered clause in Nobel's will that said that every hundred years they have to give it to the world's largest user of the stuff.
So you know what's next don't you?
Freedom (in America) is Slavery.
Tyranny here we come.
It puts him in with good company like Kissinger, Arafat and so on. I'm thinking they should give it to that Blackwater dude next year.
Thanks.
And let's not forget, let's not forget Woody Wilson.
And they say Scandinavians have no sense of humor!
Aren't we bombing the moon soon?
People certainly dress for the opera these days.
At least Polanski has a list of actual accomplishments. Barry, on the other hand...
speaking of......you DID promise me you'd cure AIDS that drunken night all those years ago. What's the delay?????
"dude, i like your style." nothing else to it.
i miss Bush. at least under him we would never have to put up w/this kind of BS.
Why would you think you might have readers who needed an explanation of what "bareback" meant?
I'm ashamed at how much this pisses me off.
I thought I'd finally realized that pwoggies don't give a shit about the deaths and murder their actions produce as long as the dead and injured aren't right outside their coffee shops and farmer's markets -- but the high-fiving and mutual masturbation of the Kossacks is driving me to new heights of anger.
Clearly, I am the problem.
Seriously, what the fuck? The guy has done nothing for peace, dimplomacy, or anything else, other than being NOT-George Bush.
But he built the aqueducts!
My head is going to explode. Sorry for the continued comments (I'm one of the 11:18 anons) but I still cannot believe the smug sense of satisfaction among the Pwoggies.
"Reward for voting for peace?" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I really can't decide if I'm more disgusted with these shameless fools or with myself for thinking there was a shread of decency left among us.
Fie on all this kvetching. Obama's being honored by the world Left for prospective accomplishments in world peace, for Hope of Change! We should probably call it the Nobel Please Prize now....
The Nobel Prize has jumped the shark.
Didn't realize the pwoggies voted on this.
Anyway, what IOZ said...
Must have been very slim pickings in Stockholm this year. Unless they think that "bullshit for peace" is some sort of serious initiative.
Then again, given how bloodthirsty the USofA is, maybe they're just grateful that he hasn't invaded Europe.
Watching the pwogs twirl with delight is barftastic, but I could easily have forgone the pleasure.
You have to keep in mind, these people actually like lutefisk. Nothing more needs to be said about their decision-making process.
As a person of Scandanavian descent (1/2 each Swedish and Norwegian), and as someone who has actually tasted lutefisk, I have to agree 100% with Happy Jack.
BTW, Happy: I saw you!
And they say Scandinavians have no sense of humor!
If they had a sense of humor, they'd deliver that sucker via pilotless drone.
he signs his emails "Peace. --Barry". then he chucks the deuce, as they say in houston, for good measure.
he's Prez-O-Dent, now en-Nobeled--that's Homecoming and Winter Formal King status, bruh! what's Prom King, and what's he gotta do to get it?
"And let's not forget, let's not forget Woody Wilson."
Woody Wilson?!?! Pfffft... How's about the original Peace Prize gangsta, Teddy "Big Stick" Roosevelt?
-- sglover
well dang if it ain't a good day to be a gangsta.
an Ig Nobel Peace Prize, now that I could see.
seriously people.
yeah it goes like this right here
its like n****s always be hollerin' peace, know what I'm sayin'
peace my brutha, peace this, peace that
you know what I'm sayin' but...
every time i try to get a piece of mine
a n**** try to get a piece of mine
so i gotta grab my piece

This is all absurd. IOZ is a dirty fag. Obama is president of the United States of America. There's a big difference.
Anonymous 7:35PM, I'd wager almost any amount my circumstances would allow that IOZ is actually a very clean fag, and never dirty for long before finding a shower. Yes, Obama is POTUS. And yes, there is a big difference. One is a fellow of considerable wit, and the other is a war criminal.
Didn't some of the Roman Emperors go to the Olympics and pick up a bunch of medals for themselves?
This means I can get my 2010 campaign for Leader and Guide of the Revolution, Muammar al-Gaddafi, going! He's been doing SO MUCH for nuclear non-proliferation and is truely a man of peace. I mean, so what if he's caused the deaths of lots of people - he's a pikey compared to even Obama at this point. And on the less esoteric front: he has a kick-ass female guard, as well as some great fashion sense.
Apparently Gaddafi also takes great delight in farting loudly in front of whatever world leader is visiting to beg for oil rights too, so he's got my vote.
