This is absurd. Are they going to give Olympic medals now to people they think might win? MLB should give the Yankees the trophy right now, since they might win this year anyway.
I have really hard time seeing how Obama deserves the Nobel Peace Prize, as he is not been very peaceful at all. More troops in Afghanistan. Still in Iraq. Bombings of Pakistan. Not to mention the nominations had to be in 12 days after his presidency started. Obama has been as peaceful as George W Bush so far. And the idea that nuclear non-proliferation is the reason why Obama won is silly. The US and Russia are cutting nukes to about 2,000 warheads from like 3,000. What does that accomplish? I guess Obama can run that line in 2012 “I have ended the dangerous Cold War era nuclear ambitions and have restored relations with the friendly Russians. The world is a safer place with 2,000 less nukes. Blah blah blah.”
But it is understandable knowing that
The Nobel committee is appointed by the leftist Norwegian parliament. As with Carter and Gore receiving the prize since 2000, it was a chance to say one more time, “We hate President Bush.” They have made a joke of the prize.
