It was the moment when the entire world laughed at liberals and then lost all respect for the Nobel Prizes. When Barack Obama was announced as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, even the fresh-faced president pretended to be a little shocked. “To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize,” Obama said at the time. Still, he accepted the prize over several other much more worthy candidates. What did he do to deserve the prize?
Now, in a traditional Homer Simpson “doh!” moment, a former director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute has acknowledged that, in hindsight, he’s not so sure if giving the prize to Obama was a good move either. More regrets on the next page:
No Integrity !
THE NOBEL COMMITTEE SHOULD REGRET GIVING OBAMA THE PEACE PRIZE IN MY OPINION!
A bit late
Sure pulled a joke on them, didn’t he??
Nobody understood why or how he got it to start with. It gave us a good laugh but it surely made you look bad!
He didn’t seem like a corporate backed war promoter at first…
Little late for that. I’m sure there were others more worthy.
He did NOTHING to get this!!!! How pathetic! Makes the prize worthless!!!
This was definetly a mistake!!!!
Regret? Why give him anyway, because he was the first black president?
