What people? We're all computers.

Uh oh, Jay!

glad to see Mr Obama lumped in there with Mother Theresa :-)

Well, they have contributed to a country's economic growth and supported USPS :-)

Another vote from me +1

No. He didn't deserve the Nobel prize. But half the people who get it dont deserve it nowindays.

Damn right....

And I've been reminded of others he shares company with.

Yasser Arafat, a master terrorist, was awarded the prize in 1994.

THAT is truly when the prize took a dive for me.

And now I wonder why I care....

It's....it's....it's just that it's SUPPOSED TO BE such an honor...

And I have way too much time on my hands to be discussing this stupid thing. :-)

:-)

dont you have a newborn? shouldnt you be doing something more interesting, like change a diaper perhaps?

This just in: Obama awarded Nobel Prize in Chemistry for mixing himself a whiskey with Red Bull onboard Air Force One.

LOL!

Back on point. I do find it odd that he was President for less than 2 weeks when he was nominated. And just find it so insulting to the people he beat out (if you look @ the link above)

Maybe it does pan out and he does improve relations, but hold off on the Nobel Prize until then.....don't give it now just because he is thinking about fixing relations, or has sorta started to try and fix relations

Maybe the Nobel committee is really just a bunch of psychics, or a bunch of ...

yeah, but stuck here at work....really wanting to get outta here!

Jay, psychics or psychos...

Whew... Potentially dangerous thread, but glad to see that it's still civil. Before it gets bad, I wanted to make a comment.

My only contribution to this thread are two simple facts.

1. Nobel prizes are ONLY awarded to a person who is living - source http://nobelprize.org/contact/faq/index.html

2.Mahatma Gandhi NEVER won a Nobel Peace Prize.

Well, I think the NY Rangers should be given this years Stanley Cup now cuz I know they are gonna try real hard. :-)

Funny that's the same thing Jamarcus Russel (Raiders QB) says when he throws the ball ... "I tried real hard to throw it to the receiver ..."

obama wining the NPP :-)
how am i going to protest this :-)

Al,
Can we throw in a Championship for my Yankees given they won 103 games?
How about based on the fact they intended to win 162?
Please?

This won't end well.

Sure Carlos I don't see why not. :-)

I give it 8 and a half hours. The equivalent of PBO's Senatorial experience.

While he is receiving awards he shouldn't, let's help him win the Heisman trophy too.

Go HERE and put him in as a write in vote.

It must have been the beer summit..

I think this is the europeans applying political pressure and trying to force the US out of Afghanistan.

Bear in mind, the nominations for this prize were due by February 1st, 12 days after he took office.
