i do not know if some of you know this, i just found out a couple of days ago. obama was only in office 12 days when the nobel prize committee voted to award this to him...this sounds too great to believe, he did not even know where the all the bathrooms were in the white house, but he won the award

I don't know if it is true, and I am highly skeptical about it. What evidence do you have to support this claim?

It is true (kind of). The nomination deadline is Feburary 1 of each year (or the envelope containing the nomination must be postmarked no later than Feburary 1 of that year). Process of Nomination and Selection from the Nobel site itself.
Obama took office on January 20, 2009, and the nomination deadline was Feburary 1, 2009.
He was not chosen only 12 days after taking office, but his nomination was entered 12 days after taking office.Last edited by mhailey; 10-13-2009 at 06:17 PM. Reason: clarifying the "true" statement

Isn't it ironic that Norway, a home of the Vikings, awards the big peace award. Maybe there is an irony here that we are missing........and all these vikings in valhalla with odin are laughing at this silly peace award they give out for a bunch of laughs, and how funny it is that all these international girlie men care about it.
