They're giving out the Nobel Peace Prize for failing to secure the Olympic Games these days?
And before anyone comments about me being a racist, or bitter, or whatever, post a damn list of 0bama's accomplishments. I know it will be asking too much to list his accomplishments on the world stage that would elevate him to Nobel status; so please, post a list of his accomplishments as US President if that's easier. Should be a snap; the man just won a Nobel Peace Price, all you have to do is look at their rationale for awarding the prize...
This is, quite simply, the single biggest joke of the 0bama presidency so far.
That is all.
UPDATE: It's even worse than it seems. Greg in comments points out that the nominations had to be in by February 1st, meaning that 0bama had been in office for all of 11 days when he was nominated...

Okay. 9 months on the job and a road tour on a bunch of TV shows, a failed bid to win the Olympics, and stirring up a hornest nest on Health Care earns you a Nobel Peace Prize? I thought they would wait to see some solid accomplishments before picking him for the prize. Nice job of making the prize political and meaningless.
He did close Gitmo.....
.....oh wait.....well, he promised he would.
......maybe...
9 months on the job? He was nominated before he took office, or shortly thereafter. CNN says nominations had to be postmarked by Feb 1st. Inauguration is on Jan 20th. Do the math.
This isn't even a funny joke.
I would say that I just lost all respect for the "Peace" prize, but they already gave one to Yassar Arafat so - too late.
I assume BO is going to hand half that prize money over to the Treasury?
But, Jay, he said those Muslim terrorists just aren't that bad. I mean, come on, he said it.
(I can only assume that's what they mean by, "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.")
Yup, I said much the same thing.
So did the Times of London today: "Instead, the prize risks looking preposterous in its claims, patronising in its intentions and demeaning in its attempt to build up a man who has barely begun his period in office, let alone achieved any tangible outcome for peace."
They should rename it the Nobel Not Republican And Especially Not George W. Bush Peace Prize.
Bob wins teh internetz today.
The Times of London is right -- The Nobel is a joke. Hey, he joins the Nobel laureate Al Gore!
Thank you, Jay. I'm honored. ;-)
This just in: Barack Obama has won the NL Cy Young award for that short-hop to Albert Pujols before the all-star game.
The phrase "jump the shark" needs to be changed to "won the Nobel peace prize", now.
Accomplishments:
Phase 1: get elected and give away money
Phase 2: ??
Phase 3: receive Nobel prize!
"Noble Prize Committee hits bottom, breaks out picks, axes, and TNT."
BTW, everyone wondering how in the world this guy was given a peace award: racists
One of the reports stated that the judges picked him on the 'hopes of what he might someday accomplish.'
Guess I could win an Ocsar because I plan to act someday....
IF that's the new criteria, then I should be getting the Nobel for painting my deck any day now.
Well, someone beat me to it. Yassar Arafat, and a firm 'yes' to Libya's chair at the head table for the UN's Human Rights Commission. I think they're still waiting for a 'thank you' from us.
The Peace Prize Committee has really marginalized those of us who have never won a Nobel Prize. Because really, you have to be a complete loser not to have one.
I expect my family to disown me.
