All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Like Pastorius says: In this world up is down, black is white, and evil is good. This just makes no sense whatsoever; even Obama's supporters must agree (at least the ones who have some form of rationality). He hasn't accomplished a damn thing yet in his presidency aside from leading us astray in Afghanistan.
"The world is either very sick or very stupid, maybe both. Al Gore is the Nobel Laureate for Global Warming, when the earth is now cooling for eleven years in a row and now the world is on the edge of war with an appeasing president; it will undoubtedly deliver us the opposite of peace. How naive can the world be? Well it is about as naive as the world was in the 1930s, I suppose."
"To listen to the justification for such a prize is so funny if it were not so pathetic. As one radio commentator put it this morning, that he had just himself been awarded an Oscar for the greatest film he has yet to make. I thought we win acknowledgment and prizes for achievements not for expectations. I get it, the Nobel committee have embraced the great American policy of affirmative action and that even if you do not achieve, because you are a minority we have to allow you to join the club."
Good points all and another good point on Atlas Shrugs-
“Definition of worthless: Irena Sendler saved 2,500 Jewish schoolchildren during the Holocaust. In 2007 she was up for a noble peace price… She was not selected. Al Gore won for a slideshow on global warming.”
Sima Samar, women's rights activist in Afghanistan: "With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women's Affairs."
Ingrid Betancourt: French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years.
"Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence."
Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: "These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon."
"Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for 'inciting subversion of state power.'"
"Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."

WC brought up a point i was going to make. Obama is the biggest example of what is wrong with affirmative action. Ever since he was hand picked to be molded and groomed to run for president, he has been propped up, showered with undeserved praise, been allowed to cover up and lie about his past and friends, been given more glory than deserved for his books and all critisizm is slapped down as being lies or coming from evil doers, mobs or now, terrorist sympathizers. Not only did Obama not have the executive experience generally required, but his past and friends were not allowed to be properly vetted. And now, he has won the nobel peace prize, which he was nominated for after only 3 weeks in office. In a nutshell, Obama has been living a fantasy life. A life filled with patronism. He has been built up to feel a grand sense of self, all based on lies. If and when he finally wakes up to the truth, if by serious rejection caused by a major failure. He will end up an extremely demoralized man. Think about it.
I for one, am glad to see the world wide anti american hysteria over our success, in freedom, enterprise, and military prowess across the last 233 years conjoined with drooling world thankfulness over the foolish election of a man whose values are in the most important cases, the antithesis over what brought us to this point.
THAT was the point of this award.
The 53% of the voters were rewarded for what the Nobel Committee believes was FINALLY recognizing the evils at birth, otherwise known as American arrogance.
There are very bad things coming for this world.
Nothing could make this more clear than this farcical award for a man who, in 2003 WAS A COMMUNITY ORGANIZER.
Where were Mandela and Tutu 5 years before their award?
Even the despicable racist J Carter, and the nuclear proliferation facilitator El Baradei WORKED HARD FOR SOMETHING.
This person, this weak, anti entrepreneur, anti freedom of speech, anti Bill of Rights, socialist front man cipher, whose sense of entitlement must now encompass at least 5 planets (not to speak of his wife's)?
He made speeches to a disheartened and easily fooled 53%.
Hi, reading this comments, I start to realize that obtaining the Nobel Peace Prize only harmed Obama's reputation and possibly even those who supported him before, are now asking themselves, what he did to deserve it. Unfortunately the answer is "not much, except for a few very impressive speeches and a probable improvement of American international diplomacy". Julie
Julie, 1) most people in the world are not very informed, and do not realize that many of the people who have won the Nobel Peace Prize are monsters, equivocators, and fools. So, this victory does not hurt Obama's standing.
2) Obama has not improved America's standing in the world. Russia openly defies us now:
Only a person who does not like America's hegemony would think Obama is a good leader for America.
You are Canadian, apparently. As a Canadian, you might think that America's hegemony is not a good thing.
But, ask yourself these questions:
With nations like China, Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea, and Syria/Lebanon in the world, who will keep the sea lanes open for Free Trade if it is not America? Who will veto anti-Human Rights resolutions at the UN, if not America? Who will stop a nation like Iraq from invading Kuwait, if not America?
Is Canada better prepared to step up and take America's place, or is China/Russia?
What will happen in a world where China and Russia have hegemony?

the nobel peace prize has been a joke since arafat won it.
a man responsible directly for the murder of women and children

PAPER: "This"[?] makes mockery of peace prize...
LOL . . .a little reminder:
1994 -- Yasser Arafat
2001 -- Kofi Annan
2002, Jimmy Carter
2005, Mohamed ElBaradei
2007, Al Gore
2009, Barack Obama
as if the prize had any rational value left! . . .the nobel prize is worth less than worthless.
Here's Shoebat's take on it.
"The world is either very sick or very stupid, maybe both.

No doubt Acorn counted the votes!!

Babba Zee pointed out that the Nobel nomination process was done just 10 days after Obama took office.

The French President mocks Obama for his weakness:

Iran tells Obama there is no room for negotiation on nuclear issues.

Instead of making America's reputation stronger on the world stage, Obama has been a completely inept failure:
