Weeeeeelllllll, here's what the nobel peace prize is awarded for: "for the person who has done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."

Since Obama was always trying to get the word out to other nations about the US being more friendly in the future, and trying to restrengthen bonds, (beat) ah screw it. I'll let the Nobel Committee chairman do the justifying. And I quote from 2011, "[President Obama] paved the way for new negotiations with the Russian Federation about nuclear arms. If you look at the will of Alfred Nobel that goes directly to what he said that the prize should go to the person that has worked for—he called it reduction of standing armies but in today's terms it means arm control and disarmament."

And Obama did admit that he was sheepish to receive the award. I suppose then the award is a question and a challenge to Obama always: "They say you are a man for peace. Is this true?" I'm not saying that the US has been entirely peaceful the last 4 years, but he has tried as commander in chief and face of the nation to pull something together without alienating those with more amicable intentions. It's far from perfect, but hey. A prize for peace never pleases anyone. (unless it's red cross, who somehow managed repeat wins due to war)

Please no flamers. Please no flamers. Please no flamers.

The igNobel is for what you HAVE accomplished, not for what you MIGHT accomplish. If good intentions were the sole criteria for giving away that award, then EVERY POLITICO IN THE WORLD would deserve the igNobel.

Ei, qual a surpresa? :roll:
Estamos falando da Academia Sueca, que em 1974 concedeu o Prêmio Nobel de Economia para Gunnar Myrdal e Friedrich Hayek; ou seja acendeu uma vela para Deus e outra para o Diabo no mesmo dia...
O Premio Nobel é MESMO assim TÃO respeitável? Pfff...

Honestly, they wanted to Kiss-Up to Obama..

You cannot tell me that out of the supposed 150-200 people on the list of nominees, Barack Obama has done the most good?
