This reflects very badly on the Nobel commitee... As far as Obama... it doesn't really reflect on him either way... because HE WAS ONLY IN OFFICE TWO WEEKS! Nothing had happened to reflect on him good or bad yet... let alone this

LONDON – President Barack Obama was praised Friday as a worthy Nobel Peace Prize winner although many admirers said the award was based on his potential, not his accomplishments.

Wait a second.... this is actually great news.... I mean... I have potential to become a billionare.... so they should just give me the billions now! I have the potential to own an island in the South Pacific... so they should just give it to me. WOW.

In reading the above artical... it almost seems like he won the award not for being a great President, but for being a President who is not Bush.... FAIL

Just goes to show you that there is more asskissin going on in this world because of WHO Obama is, which is the first african american president. He comes from Chicago, which has had a lot of corruption so I am sensing a direction here. Not that getting the Prize was his fault, but that things are not what they seem in this world anymore. Everyone is so fascinated with stardom, and now they are putting him up on a pedestal before anything is accomplished. Not a good thing to do as now the pressure will be immensely on Obama's shoulders to produce results.

Don't get me wrong... I do support him and like the direction that he has stated... but he has not earned this, this is something that ones deeds should earn, not someones promises.

He does seem to be at least taking it with some degree of humility... but then again.... how could he not?

Hahah how bad of a president are you really, when the guy that follows you gets a nobel prize just for NOT being you? Haha

Yeah I can picture it now.

Committee: Yeah, Obama...here's a Nobel Peace Prize..We know you really haven't done much yet but we just wanted to give you this because well....you're not Bush.

I agree. This is really weird. It feels really premature, shines a light on how liberal the committee is, and cheapens the idea of the prize. I like Obama but I still think it's far too early to judge if he deserves something like this...and this should NEVER go to someone who is not 100% worthy.

Imo, the Nobel Peace Prize has been cheapened ever since Mr. Manbearpig Hunter (i.e. Al Gore) won it a few years back.

For the record, he STILL has not found Manbearpig nor has he proved that Manbearpig exists.

The prize is a joke now, something in place for liberals to kiss other liberals' asses.

Being the awesome actor, performer, and musician that I am, I have great potential. Therefore I would like to announce my running for a Grammy, Emmy, and Oscar.

Awww...really? Ok this is starting to get even more out of hand than it already was. So, he is the anti-christ and at the same time might even be Jesus?

They started with giving a "your awesome for just existing" prize to every child in every event...now we have moved on to doing this for adults.

I honestly thought this was a joke. I don't watch tv, listen to or read the news. I have chosen not to because it makes me too angry and depressed; ignorance is bliss. Yes, I have chosen the right path. The current state of things have left me with that feeling like after being in the 7.0 earthquake. It was so surreal, like it wasn't really happening. It's just a horror movie, right? This simply can't be our country, our world. I prefer my escape from reality until the world comes to its senses.
