Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize

He wins after being nominated just 2 weeks into his presidency? I think that even Obama's most dyed-in-the-wool supporters recognize the absurdity of this. Which is why I think Obama will magnanimously decline, defusing this joke and spinning it to his advantage.

While that would certainly be the appropriate thing to do, I don't think he will. More than likely he and his advisors will find it validating. Narcissists are like that.

Yeah, now that he has the Peace Prize, he can continue the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq without anyone bugging him

It is a little absurd. But I think the awkwardness will pass quickly after a news cycle or two.

Could soemone please help me...I plan on curing cancer and would like someone to nominate me for next years Nobel Prize in medicine.

That's why I like you, Lou. You are such an optimist.

Of course he won't decline it. It's validation of his empty rhetoric.

Elites, and especially soft major lefty elites are really, really into cred. ( kind of like Chicago street gang are into cred )

The rest of us have to produce, or else. Where's the product, how much sales, how many squares of roofing did you do today, miles driven, tons of coal dug, hotel rooms cleaned.

Elitist feathermerchants just spend their time avoiding failure, passing blame, angling for slots, sniffing for success, or trying to get to the head of a movement.

Has anyone else noticed the leftist Grammy awards, book awards, Academy awards, that something like most Harvard student graduate with 4.0, that the lefty awards have really, really been passed out like county fair cupie dolls?
