This time, their target was dignity, fairness, and honor..and it appears they aimed their kick a little higher.

Now an empty suit that won, a Peace Prize while attempting to disarm the U.S.A. and continue to keep the bosrders open to all comers legal and illegal. The selection committee must not have any real knowledge of what is happening in the U.S. The economy is suffering, our freedoms are being taken away and our life style is going down hill fast. We need some prize winners yes but not the left leaning, socialist type. An empty suit that ran for president and won.

My guess is it will work. I think they gave this award to Obama in the hope that it would:

Did Gore stop global warming? Did the Dalai Lama make peace with China? And let's not forget Le Duc Tho, who at least refused it, probably since he knew he wasn't after peace but only trying to get the US out of South Vietnam so the North could take over a little later. Obama didn't ask for the prize, did he? So enough already. Look, the Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel prize where you don’t actually have to accomplish anything to get it.

Yet they all voted for and supported him for president. He hadn't done anything before that either, except talk about aspirations and "changed the tone," the very thing he supposedly got the Nobel for. But even all these people, who do not recognize their own gullibility in electing this man without portfolio, do recognize the shocking absurdity of granting him the Nobel Prize. It is absolutely from the pages of The Onion. It’s amusing to see so many lefty commenters and pundits clucking about how this is inappropriate, given that he hasn’t done anything.
