  • Point out to me where any poster went through the reasons given by the Committee and showed why they were wrong.
    I did, twice.

      No.

      Kissinger won the 1973 prize, not Nixon.

      • And he got it for negotiating with the 1973 Peace Agreement with Tho, not just for promising to bring peace.

        • Correct. It was jointly awarded.

          A bad decision by the committee for the same reason the Obama one was. Based upon hopes rather than realities.

          • At least there was an actual treaty to point to.

If Nixon can get the prize for promising to bring peace to Viet Nam, then Obama can get it for these promises. Note he promised all that and we elected him anyway.
              Correct, the prize should go to the American people.

                  Actually I'd have to agree with that since the American People actually did something about it.

                        • Obama isn't a warmongering, fearmongering, fundamentalist bigot hijacked by corporate interests. For the US citizens to vote him is more than enough already

                          • What it really shows is how worried some of the rest of the world were about us, and how much less worried they are now.

                            Whether they were right to be worried before, or right to be less worried now, is a different matter.

                              Exactly! I'm a uniter not a divider.

                              I totally deserve a peace prize.

                                Yeah he is. He and his team are just much better at PR than Bush and Co.
