Everything you need to know about Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize
By Thomas DiLorenzo
October 9, 2009 "LRC" -- So Obama joins Woodrow Wilson in the pantheon of American presidents who have won the Nobel Peace Prize (Wilson won it in 1919). I learned this morning that nominations for the prize had to be in by Feb. 20, about one month after Obama was inaugurated. That means that the prize went for his rhetoric during the campaign, not anything he could have actually accomplished.
As I recall, his two most memorable foreign policy pronouncements during the campaign were 1) advocating that the U.S. bomb Pakistan; and 2) escalating the war in Afghanistan. He did order the murder of some people in Pakistan by bombardment shortly after taking office. I’m still surprised, though, that he won the prize after killing so few people. Usually, one must be a major league murderer like a Wilson or a Teddy Roosevelt to win such a prize.

Robert D. I agree. Obama just made Promises.
So if I make a promise to stop all the bad in the world, I am sure I would get one, oh wait, the elite who get put on the pedestal by these nominations dont want the bad to end. It is all part of their plan.

Carter won it too. Even Kissinger won it . The prize is meaningless and a staus reconition mainly. Only is our Orwellian world does this make any sence. It should be called the UnNoblal ANTIpeace Prize.

In Obama's defense I'll say that while he might be small potatoes as a mass murderer as of yet many expect to see big things from him in the future.
