If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
For... what exactly? Even his supporters will admit that he hasn't actually done much of anything yet.
Although the Nobel whatever people said its because of what he has promised or something like that... but you'd think they'd wait until he was out of office or almost done or something... >_>
Well, didn't he have all the Muslims in other countries cheering for him, unlike when they would chant, "Satan-- America!" when Bush was president?

Drudge sums up my feelings on the news: "For what?" <_<
He says he'll take it as a "call for action." Erm, okay... I thought the prize was for people who have ALREADY DONE some action, not just talked about it.
So you lost your trust,

No, you never should have.

Yeah, Obama hasn't done anything to deserve it. I'd give it to Al Gore before him, and I wouldn't even give it to Al Gore... maybe an environmentalist award or something along those lines, but not the Nobel Peace Prize... and I wouldn't give ANYTHING to Obama.
Now I'm not someone who goes against anyone just because they're a democrat. I'm not a republican- I'm an independent and will vote for a democrat or a republican- whichever one I like the best regardless of their political orientation. But seriously, Obama hasn't done anything to help our country. He's only sunk it further down the toilet of doom.
I didn't get this when I saw it earlier. What has Obama accomplished? Yeah... but looking back at the recent winners, none of them probably deserved it. Nobel Peace doesn't have much credibility left in my eyes.

I agree with the others who posted above me that the Nobel Peace Prize has become a joke. Even Obama admitted that he didn't deserve it, and the AP said that he hadn't accomplished anything.

Er, that's not really something he could avoid.
Agreed. He probably shouldn't have campaigned like he would instantly end the wars and bring the troops home then...but that's just one more thing in the list of campaign promises he made that he has yet to fulfill.
And Tyler, defending Obama is always a terrible choice, but especially here when he himself is even flabbergasted and confused about the prize hahahah

I have a feeling if I did such I would be torn to shreds.
Eh, I know plenty of total Obamamaniacs who are completely shocked he won; even though they like him they don't think he has done enough to win a huge honor...
Because Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize implies that he's done something to get it... other than looking pretty and being a darker colour skin than all previous presidents.
they may be copper,
annoying little coins! but,
they might be giants.
Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize
