"Every year, the Norwegian Nobel Committee sends out thousands of letters inviting qualified people to submit their nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The names of the nominees and other information about the nominations cannot be revealed until 50 years later."

Nominations for potential winners of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize ended on February 1. The president took office only 12 days earlier on January 20.

Let�s take a look at the president�s first 12 days in the White House according to his public schedule to see what he did to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize:

January 20: Sworn in as president. Went to a parade. Partied.

January 21: Asked bureaucrats to re-write guidelines for information requests. Held an �open house� party at the White House.

January 22: Signed Executive Orders: Executive Branch workers to take ethics pledge; re-affirmed Army Field Manual techniques for interrogations; expressed desire to close Gitmo (how�s that working out?)

January 23: Ordered the release of federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries. Lunch with Joe Biden; met with Tim Geithner.

January 24: Budget meeting with economic team.

January 25: Skipped church.

January 26: Gave speech about jobs and energy. Met with Hillary Clinton. Attended Geithner's swearing in ceremony.

January 27: Met with Republicans. Spoke at a clock tower in Ohio.

January 28: Economic meetings in the morning, met with Defense secretary in the afternoon.

January 29: Signed Ledbetter Bill overturning Supreme Court decision on lawsuits over wages. Party in the State Room. Met with Biden.

January 30: Met economic advisers. Gave speech on Middle Class Working Families Task Force. Met with senior enlisted military officials.

January 31: Took the day off.

February 1: Skipped church. Threw a Super Bowl party.

So there you have it. The short path to the Nobel Peace Prize: Party, go to meetings, skip church, release federal funding to pay for abortions in foreign countries, party some more.

  Aside from the fact that there is no "unification" of America and that the first black President is so clearly inept and will likely set back the black cause for decades why would you ever believe that the Peace Prize lunatics give a shit about internal US politics?

The Nobel Peace Prize is pretty much a joke at this point.  Considering past winners, they might as well be done with it and give one to David Duke as well.  Lets see, Yasser Arafat Al Gore got one for killing a bunch of Jews.  Al Gore got one for demonstrating how one man can create a gigantic carbon foot print while blaming everybody else for the problem.  Now Obama has gotten one for... umm... uhhh.. oh, yes, �for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples� whatever that means.

I think the dalai lama should win again. This guy has been trucking for than a half of century to seek peace not only for his nation but for the entire world.

not to bring race into this but...... A handshake shows more respect imo

honestly though, people outside of the US probably do see it as a major unification. like you said, they don't care about internal US politics. they just see that we have elected a black man.

For those who suckle the teat of European philosophy, the prize is a call for one universal government. What did Obama do to deserve any award. Carter by far the biggest Presidential joke, is evidence enough that this "prize" is a socialist badge of courage. This "prize" is used by left-wing malcontents, to attack the integrity of the U.S..

I just saw this.  What do you guys think about this?  I'm sure opinions will be broken down by party line, so I will ask you: if you don't think he should have won, who should have instead?

Yawn. Sorry, I couldn't detect that bitterness, could you try a little harder?

Mayhaps the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to GWB, for all he's done for the prospect of world peace.
