Yeah, it should have gone to Glenn Beck.
Fixed
This award was obviously given to Obama as a pre-emptive strike. He just HAD to win it and they wanted to give it to him before he started ing things up even worse.
Yeah, it should have gone to Glenn Beck.
Where's Kanye West when you need him? I'm sure someone will parody that on Youtube.
Yes I'm sure that's exactly how it went down.
"Obama needs this award for his legacy."
"But he hasn't even been in office very long."
"Precisely. If we wait and give it to him later, it would be after he has completely destroyed the world economy and let terrorism run rampant. Which is what we all want, I grant you, but some people in the world may disagree."
"What if we wait until 30 years after his presidency, like we did for Carter?"
"You fool! We will have set up our secret Socialist Moon Colony by then! There will BE no more Peace Prize!"
"Oh yes, thank you for reminding me."
"Gentlemen, to evil!"
(Toast)
the euros probably said. bush is gone thats good enough of a reason to give it to him
Apparently, it was CBS (Not Fox News or Bill OReilly) that said the exact same thing I did:
Classic Fox News spin: "This is actually a good thing."
Good job da suns fan. Maybe they will hire you to take Bill O'Reilly's spot when he craps the bed.

Obama's Nobel Win: A "Mission Accomplished" Moment?
Today's Nobel Peace Prize announcement raises the question: Is a negative caricature of President Obama now fully developed?
One thing that eluded Mr. Obama during his presidential campaign was that he was never successfully lampooned by the Republican Party.
Unlike past failed Democratic presidential candidates, the president avoided being stereotyped as "all talk, but no substance" last year, no matter how hard the GOP tried. And the Republican Party has a long history of successfully mocking their opponents in simple, negative and ultimately effective terms.
Remember in 2000 when Al Gore was painted as a serial exaggerator with a boring, stiff, and overall uncomfortable persona? Or John Kerry in 2004 as a "flip-flopper" who didn't really "earn" his Purple Hearts and ultimately dishonored his fellow troops when he returned from Vietnam?
Republicans failed to make anything stick to Mr. Obama in 2008. All their efforts to paint him as radical or not American or inexperienced didn't work.
Like the Democrats did after President Bush prematurely declared the Iraq war "accomplished" on that aircraft carrier in 2003, the right is already using the Nobel prize as an opportunity to hammer Mr. Obama for not having accomplished what he's being honored for.
"The real question Americans are asking is, 'What has President Obama actually accomplished?'" Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said in a statement.
"It is unfortunate that the president's star power has outshined tireless advocates who have made real achievements working towards peace and human rights," he added.
"I don't believe this," Rush Limbaugh exclaimed on his radio show this afternoon. "He's not only the first post-racial president, he's the first post-accomplishment president. He's now judged on wishful thinking."
The president hasn't "done diddly-squat" to deserve it, Limbaugh added.
But it's not just the harsh rhetoric from the right - rhetoric that will only grow louder over the weekend on the Sunday talk shows - that threatens the president.
It's the comedy gold that the blogosphere as well as the late night talk show hosts and "Saturday Night Live" will exploit to no end.
In fact, there's already a joke formula that's exploded: fill in the blank with your favorite award (Oscar, American Idol, etc.) and say that President Obama has already won it without accomplishing anything to deserve it.
And give credit to the folks at "SNL" who were a week early when they mocked Mr. Obama as all talk and no action last Saturday.
"When you look at my record," said SNL actor Fred Armisen as President Obama. "It's very clear what I've done so far -- and that is nothing."
Today's announcement only serves as more fodder for Mr. Obama's critics, dumping more fuel on the "all-flash-with-few-results" persona that they tried so hard to trump up last year and now, to their glee, may be fully developed.
Well, Republicans hate America and peace now.
I'm mildly surprised they didn't start drowning puppies when Obama got one.
How in the world do you come to the conclusion that Republicans hate "peace"?
Please refer to the Sarcasm FAQ.
Part of it comes from how much you guys love war.
wars when reublicans are in office.. key distinction.
i see this award partly as an affirmation of his goals, but also largely as a repudiation of Bush's lone-cowboy style of international diplomacy.
Yet another example you have no clue what you are talking about.
I thought Obama won the award partially because he brought a new sense of civility to the political arena. No more playground insults like "you aren't a patriot, I am" or "you have no shame"."The Republican Party has thrown in its lot with the terrorists -- the Taliban and Hamas this morning -- in criticizing the President for receiving the Nobel Peace prize," wrote DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse. "Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now they are criticizing the President of the United States for receiving the Nobel Peace prize -- an award he did not seek but that is nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride -- unless of course you are the Republican Party. The 2009 version of the Republican Party has no boundaries, has no shame and has proved that they will put politics above patriotism at every turn. It's no wonder only 20 percent of Americans admit to being Republicans anymore - it's an embarrassing label to claim.
Some of you guys are taking this way too serious. No need to be that bitter. This is more a comic moment than anything else. Of course people are going to make fun of this, it's hilarious in itself. Only someone with a total lack of a sense of humour wouldn't be able to enjoy the jokes that such an event offers. Chill out, politics aren't worth all that.
Then don't be.
I'm sorry? Who's being bitter?
I'll chime in and say WHAT THE with the rest of you. And honestly, if we elected Angelina Jolie president with Brad Pitt as wise president, the rest of the world would start loving us as well.
"Man on the street" reaction
LMFAO at the guy 0:46 into this video
I challenge MLK to whisper away Nukes from reality.
You're totally right. Words don't mean anything.
Seeing as how obama is 1/1000th the man MLK was....
LOL @ Neocon robots acting like they would've liked MLK, and weren't the ones calling him communist spy back in the 60s.
“We seek the total elimination one day of nuclear weapons from the face of the Earth.”
Can you guess who said that?
He kind of whispered when he talked.
The dog whisperer?
Yeah because it is so easier to avoid the war or pass it on to another president. Just Appease, close your eyes and give money to voters for their votes.
