| Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize In the end it's a nice award to put on the mantle, but that's really about it. It's fodder for morons to argue whether or not he's done a nice job so far. I'd rather focus on results. |

| Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize The interesting thing is he won the award based on what he has strived for (nuclear non proliferation, multi-lateralism open dialog, etc). Those things are very difficult to measure. Some would argue Obama has done quite a bit in change the atmosphere and perception of world politics compared to the last guy, but some would also say there have been no tangible results. It's an interesting argument. I think EU president said that the prize is great, but it is also signal of responsibility. Obama needs to continue with his work and get results. I would agree with that.

Hilarious. Speaking of NP winner Al Gore, at least he was actually VP and made a movie to "earn" his award. The nomination deadline was Feb 1...about 10 days into the Obama Presidency. That right there tells you how much of a joke the Nobel has become. It's so far away from when it was awarded to men like Albert Einstein. Alfred Nobel would be ashamed to know how his name has been made into such a farce. This is like giving the Heisman Trophy to a kid who's still playing High School ball. Sure, he COULD earn it someday, but he hasn't stepped on the college field yet. It's so ridiculous I can't even be mad about it...nothing but laughs are appropriate.

| Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Well I think you are completely ignoring his 4 prestigious years as a US Senator. Clearly you are biased... Congrats to Obama, but politicians and Nobel prizes just don't seem like they go together. |

I don't really care about the Nobel Peace Prize, but just noting that. The Nobel Prize in Economics is coming out on Monday, that's the one I really care about(econ major).

| Re: Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Wow, Lord Obama is taking the world by storm. I think he should donate the prize money charity and spread the wealth.

 FD, I was really having a tongue in cheek moment on that. I kinda thought being the junior senator of a state for less than a full term sorta spoke for itself | |
