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:

obammy was right,,,,he did not deserve the prize
First time I have ever seen a Nobel Prize given to someone for doing nothing. Usually, the award goes to be best achievement in an area. Lost my respect for the Committee after that.
TAKE IT BACK ON TV IF YOU HAVE THE BALLS
Noble Peace prize is nothing but a joke anymore after giving it to a do nothing President who divided the country and drove us deeper into debt!
Never understood that one in the first place.
We all have regrets about him!
The Nobel Peace Prize used to be an honor to receive, anymore it would mean nothing. I hope someday they can have a better image, but it won’t be in my lifetime. To give it to Obama, a newly elected President was a huge mistake.
Why? Explain yourself!
