Well said. The Nobel Peace Prize obviously has nothing to do with peace or honor, just politics.

I believe this award is for recognition that bullying the world is not pursuing peace, the bush years were aweful for everyone including Americans. Illegal spying on US citizens, secret energy meetings where cheney and the other thieves planned the theft of Enron retirement money and shut down the California electric grid, I for one see this as a sigh of relief of the world that perhaps not all Americans are crazy. Why people like you want to police the world and why you think you are empowered to is beyond comprehension. Also why is it most of the loudest and toughest war hawks are people who NEVER served. Cheney had 5 deferments, did rush limbaugh serve? How about palin?

Mr. Cooley,

You seemed confused about the topic here. It is about Mr. Obama receiving what used to be an esteemed award for promoting peace. What peace did he promote in his first 10 days in office? Giving the prize to Obama for only his political philosophy says nothing about other presidents and their policies. It only indicates that the prize is no longer about people doing something about peace, only about who the Norwegians sympathize with. And that's not really been a secret.
