The Unworthy: Obama’s Ridiculous Nobel Peace Prize Win Leads To Formal Investigation



Feb 1, 2012 7 Comments ›› American Infidel

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize’s original selection criteria by choosing such winners as President Barack Obama, as the nomination deadline for the 2012 awards closed Wednesday.

The investigation comes after persistent complaints by a Norwegian peace researcher that the original purpose of the prize was to diminish the role of military power in international relations.

If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden’s capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel’s will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years – though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

Obama won in 2009, Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo won in 2010, and last year the award was split between Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian activist Leymah Gbowee and Tawakkul Karman of Yemen.

    You poor dumb bastards should have put more thought into the decision to give that bone-head halfrican any kind of prize. Next time, take time to really find out what and who your choices are and what they stand for!

    Please please please take away his prize!  This decision by the Nobel Prize Committee has been SUCH an ongoing embarrassment for both Sweden and the Nobel Prize Committee, and we Americans are so ashamed of Barack Hussein Obama.  He’s a lawless Chicago thug at home and abroad.   We will do our part in this year’s election to get him out of office and off the world stage.  Please please Sweden, do your part to not allow him to keep any of the fruit of his crimes.

    I’m at peace with myself:

    I’m not getting stupid drunk and becoming a lousy, dangerous driver behind the wheel of a car sacrificing everyone else’s safety because of my laziness.
    I’m not spending my hard earned money on illegal drugs (which funds the murdering drug cartels) so I can shove it all up my nose just for a grand delusion.
    I’ve abstained myself from eating a McNasty from McDonalds in the past 72 hours so my friends don’t faint from my ass vapors and end being late to work.

    So I ask, where’s my Nobel prize?

    When Irene Sedler was passed over for Al Gore in 2007 . I lost all regard for this award. If you are not familiar with her work , she was known as a ” female Oscar Schindler” read briefly about her here http://www.snopes.com/politics/war/sendler.asp
