Ronald Reagan should have won one for challenging Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall and building SDI which pushed communism over the edge.

Except for that whole selling weapons to Iran to fund their illegal war in South America.

if anything, Reagan should have been thrown in jail for that, and having set in motion the collapse of the US (and world) economy.

1. He believed AIDS was a gay disease, and thought it was a clever solution to the "gay problem"
2. He took the power from the people and turned this country over to the banks--he hated poor people as much as, if not more, than the Soviets hated the wealthy.

Reagan was one of the worst presidents this country endured, and the post-presidency image restoration that the neo cons have achieved is nothing short of a miracle.

Cut your tongue out blasphemer! He was the greatest president ever you dolt.

AIDS isnt a gay disease? lets see, aids has been around in a big way in this country for like 40 years now, and have you ever heard of a non drug using heterosexual person getting it? rock hudson, randy shilts, magic johnson, freddie mercury, etc... neither have i

worldwide aids afflicts overwhelmingly heterosexuals. but most people in the world aren't american so I guess they don't count for anything.

What the fuck? The president overseeing two unjustified wars gets a fucking peace prize? Sounds like that committee has a hard-on for America lately. The prize has lost all meaning and value.

yes, non drug using heterosexual people can get and do get HIV. I know two women in our practice who got it from their adulterer husbands.

edit: are you saying Magic Johnson was a drug user/homosexual???

Yeah! So, I go to my Doctor and ask her for an HIV test. She asks me three questions.

1. Are you a homosexual ?
2. Do you use intravenous drugs ?
3. Are you overly promiscuous, do you sleep with prostitutes ?

These were her Criteria for whether I needed to be tested, as she knew I have never had a blood transfusion.

What a fucking joke. Congrats Obama, now you're in the same ship as some other morons like Jimmy Carter (aka the worst president ever) and Al Gore (what happened to global warming?). I find it amusing that the deadline for nominations was 12 days after he was sworn in. This is like nominating someone for the Cy Young award for throwing out the first pitch.

Carter was deserving for the peace accords as well as his post-presidency humanitarian work. it had nothing to do with his presidency, really, which is what this appears to be.

The hatred for Gore, well...that's rather short-sighted to say the least. He's been working on climate change initiatives for more than 20 years now. Love him or hate him, he's made the issue an international one, a necessary one, and is certainly deserving imo.

I wish it went to those brave sheep herders in NZ.

Obama so far talks the talk, but has he done anything yet to walk the walk? To paraphrase John Stewart from The Daily Show: You may have a lot on your plate, but guess what? It's chow time!

You know that once you go black you can't go back.

And I totally agree with you.

LOL so true. Al gore is a hypocrite.

And Obama hardly deserves the nobel peace prize.. I mean what the heck did he even do that remotely makes him eligible for it???

"There's a little child saying he hasn't got anything on." Till everyone was saying, "But he hasn't got anything on." The Emperor himself had the uncomfortable feeling that what they were whispering was only too true. "But I will have to go through with the procession," he said to himself.

So he drew himself up and walked boldly on holding his head higher than before, and the courtiers held on to the train that wasn't there at all.

Obama pulled a NAKED MAN!

My girl, who is a master of the obvious god bless her liberal soul, said it perfectly tonight - "How the fuck can you win a nobel peace prize when engaged in full fledged wars in Iraq and Afganistan!!!??? What the fuck!"

She also thought it was some bad dream or alternate reality. Mark my words, his role in the world is more important to him than his role as President of The United States of America.

How true.

Granted, I would disqualify most world leaders from this prize, not just Obama.
It's easy to forget that most politicians are in it for personal power, and taking care of the people is secondary to that. Sad, but true.

He kept Sarah Palin out of office.

It's Bush's fault actually... he fucked up US International Relationship so much, Obama looks great.
Not saying Obama is not doing a good job, I am just not sure it's Peace Prize calibre, yet.

The propaganda (and delusion) is strong with this one.

lol nice how you threw a non gay persons name in the middle of your list. And as another poster said Obama succeeded in keeping Sarah Palin from being Vice President. For that alone he should win every award there is. Hell, give him the Cy Young & NBA MVP. I don't care he does or doesn't do in office. Sara not being in office alone makes him one of the greatest presidents ever in my eyes.

The committee decided that the pursuit of peace was a quality, at this juncture, more important than the realization of peace.

Also, unlike your girl, the committee distinguishes between Obama the man (earnestly pursuing peace) and Obama the president (commander in chief of two wars and constrained by realpolitik). The award goes to the man, not the president.

Controversial? Yes. Justifiable? In my humble opinion I believe so.

I completely disagree with everything you posted. You can't separate a man into parts. That's like saying Hitler (uh oh, Godwin's law invoked), the man, was peace loving, but Hitler, the dictator, was the one who committed atrocities and war against most of Europe.

A leader is the man, the man is the leader. We're not talking about actors roles here, we are talking about the Presidency of the United States.
