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:
Is this the award for ruining lives jobs and disgracing our beautiful America
They should regret it! It diminished respect for their reality. I no longer consider them important.
Duh
Today’s society everybody gets a trophy
Jerry I love that you’re willing to tell folks what’s REALLY what!! All I can do is shake my head at these people’s inability to even consider some investigation. They believe what they are going to believe, facts be damned. If they did they’d find that President Obama did not “create” ISIS. They just say$#%&!@*that upholds their (racist??, GOP??) beliefs. Obama was president from 2009 thru 2017 –ISIS became Active

It has been speculated that the US had a role in lifting the popularity of the founder of ISiS in 2003 by Colin Powells mentioning his name numerous times in a speech. As al- Zarqwai became more prominently known, Osama Bin Laden may have then become more impressed with him. This in turn added to Zarqwai’s ability to recruit and have others “sign on”.
You are welcome fact challenged morons.
p.o.s
Someone paid you to do it. Now getting a Nobel prize is diminished. NOT impressed
Nobel prize for doing what ? This is and was laughable !
Not one of their stellar moments. Peace? Really?
I agree
