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:
Well, according to the author, he didn’t say he regretted it but he should have! They need to award these prizes based on something rather than nothing. It might help getting back respect for the award!
Well it certainly made it worthless and only a piece of paper !!
Bet that’s right.
Ah, he just killed american citizens abroad with no due process.
Yes you dummies really screwed up.
Nobel is no longer “NOBLE”. In an effort to suck up to Obama, unaware of his perfidious, little boy character, they squandered years of dignity, and made a farce of their esteem, an error from which they will never recover.
Ya think.
Then hold a meeting and rescind it.
That was the most idiotic thing to do
I totally agree.
