In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

By KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE, Associated Press Writers Karl Ritter And Matt Moore, Associated Press Writers – 36 mins ago


OSLO – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples," the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, citing his outreach to the Muslim world and attempts to curb nuclear proliferation.

The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president.

Re: US President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

I can't stand this, what has he done. Nothing yet! He has not been President a year yet. Why not wait until his first term is over before you prematurely ejaculate all over yourselves. For Pete sakes, he won the Senate seat by default.
 
Re: US President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

For that matter he won the Presidency by default too. Running against any Republican, much less a crusty OLD guy and a air brain beauty queen.

Were is that list of Countries, I need to move.

Credit where credit is due.

Congratulations Mr. President.
 
Re: US President Barack Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

For what? He has not done anything but run up our deficit. Nothing else. He succeeded one of the worst Presidents of all times and that rates a Nobel?

Who nominated him. Dick Durbin?

This is just another jab at the Bush legacy and the Republicans.

Citation: reducing the world stock of nuclear arms, easing American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthening the U.S. role in combating climate change.

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee said. "In the past year Obama has been a key person for important initiatives in the U.N. for nuclear disarmament and to set a completely new agenda for the Muslim world and East-West relations."


He added that the committee endorsed "Obama's appeal that 'Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.'"

Bandwagon jumper. There have been some big efforts by some very influential people working on these items for quite awhile. Sounds like being at the right place at the right time.

BHO has been in the right place at the right time since his Senate race. So far all talk and no action except in spending. Talk is like campaign speechs, sounds good and that is all.

Yeah we're defenseless. Putin pulled the wool over this neophytes eye's and if ya believe Putin..... well I don't want to get banned. :D

Global warming ... if China, India or Russia doesn't get on board then all we end up doing is destroying this country thru highewr costs and losts job's and don't tell me we are going to creat high Tech job's. Check out Spain and we aren't producing American's with the intellect to run these high tech jobs. Al we want to save are assembly line job's and they are far from high tech, now the code writers that run the assembly lines.. that's high tech.
