In a surprise, Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

10-09-2009 • AP

President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to encourage his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

[How vapid has this "prize" become? I believe this peace prize is the only one awarded by the Swiss government and not the Nobel committee.]

Talk about NO credibility... this is the most outrageous ... Well, even HITLER was once nominated for the "prize", "good company" and hopefully will end the same way as him...

After Al Gore, this is not a surprise. Maybe we need to start calling this the "NoBull Liar Prize."

This is like giving the Oscar to The Archies.

Wow, the Obama's should celebrate! Perhaps he could order 45,000 more troops into Afghanistan or launch some cruise missiles into Pakistan.
