I guess they are just giving this away now.
They’ve been “just giving it away” for as long as it has existed. It means next to nothing.
I knew I’d find something hitting up this forum at 5:30 am
How dare they give this most hallowed of prizes to a black man. An ARAB no less.
Unfuckingbelievable. Will this help or hurt his approval ratings? Probably a positive bump due to far lefties who are disapproving of him because he isn’t doing enough.

I see where this is going…
I thought this was a joke.
Can I have one now please?
It lost it’s relevance years ago. More of a lefty propaganda tool then anything else now.
The prize has been a joke forever, just like the Oscars, but why’d he get it? For inviting Netanyahu and Abbas over at the same time?
WTF???
It didn’t go to Beck???
Mufasa
Unbelievable.
Why didn’t they wait till he actually DID something prize-worthy. Anything?

What about brining Professor Henry Gates and Cambridge Sgt. James Crowley to the White House for a beer to solve race relations? Is that not worthy?
Breaking news!!!
I just won the Pulitzer Prize for the above post
How can he win the peace price on the same day we are bombing the moon!
(heard that on the way to work this morning)

Quality. Quality post.
I’m glad he won. He can send the money to the feds to reduce the national debt. Of course, they’d go through it in a millisecond.

So did I. I actually looked up at the sky to see if the Moon was going to erupt in a cloud of dust.
I wonder what Commander Hope’n’Change will do with the million bucks that coems with the prize? Maybe he will give it to these people:
So Breaking your campaign promises to bring our troops home and end the war is somehow now considered supporting peace?

Is that where OBL has been hiding???
I don’t see anything wrong with giving it to him. It was a historic election and he’s giving the US a new international image.
Sometimes I wonder if people caught up in the political sphere realize the hypocrisy in which they talk about the President. On one hand they make fun of his appeal and charisma by calling him the “messiah” yet they also expect him to solve all the shit and problems on the planet.
Just worry about your own lives and see if you can’t do something to help society.
