Sad.

What did he really do to get the award ? Honestly, I see this man being raised on a pedistool due solely to people disliking Bush Jr's 'work'.

I really dont think Obama has to do much to get accolades and kudos.

As far as I see it ... the country Obama presides over is still at war for crying out loud... so he is awarded a 'Peace' prize for .. what exactly...?

Sorry, but I cant be happy for someone with circumstances like this.

It's cheap and hollow. To me, there is nothing to be happy about.

Oh btw, those Republicans will clap about almost anything.

It was a great joke about the clapping, but looking at the actual audience I'd say that most of them are probably Republican. ;P

I don't think he deserved the award, either. I hope it's at least a sign that Europe's opinion of America is improving.

Why? Because they look successful?

The argument that the Nobel Peace Prize has been cheapened all of a sudden, and that is what people are worried about, just does not wash with me, or at least tells me that people either have a short memory or a selective one. Yasser Arafat in 1994 springs to mind. It has always been a strange award with strange choices of recipient IMO. But hey, if Gwynneth Paltrow can win a Best Actress Oscar, anything can happen.

How can he get an award for what he is SUPPOSED to do in the future.

That is total B.S!

I cheapens the award. All those that EARNED it did it for nothing now.

My views are Extreme, I think NOT.

I would like to congratulate President Barack Obama on being given the Nobel Peace Price. This is a momentous occasion in the fact that the President has made such glorious promises that his intentions alone have earned him this award. I for one, in the hopes of making the world a better place, will match President Obama's intentions by increasing my own good intentions.
In my tireless effort to create world peace, I will turn any and all bad people into teddy bears and warm blankets and all mean or vicious animals into puppies and kittens. I will transform all nuclear waste into honey and milk and I will make all bullets and firearms turn into cake and ice cream.

Where is my prize????
