He litterally had done nothing when he was nominated. This was something burried at the bottom of the artile
The deadline for nominations must be postmarked by February 1 each year. Obama was inaugurated on January 20.
He was nominated based on 11 days of work? What in the fuck did he do in those 11 days? I'm pretty sure he hasn't done shit in 10 months, let a lone 11 days.

The sad irony is that his legacy will include the reTalibanification of Afghanistan and a nuclear Iran, and possibly a pan-Arabian war started by Israel bombing Iran.
But at least he'll have a shiny trophy on his mantle...

I don't blame Obama for getting an award that he didn't deserve

Not the speeches, but the politics. The NPP has become a political award. That should have been apparent when Al Gore won it.

I thought this thread was a joke, and then I saw the news. The only explanation I have is this:
When Obama went to Denmark to pitch the Olympics, he accidentally went to Sweden instead, so they gave him a medal.

No surprise. The Nobel prize jumped the shark when they gave it to Arafat.

Absolutely ridiculous. Our Empty-Suit-in-Chief hasn't overseen the dismantling of a single nuclear device; has brokered no disarmament treaty; is hell-bent on selling Israel down the river; and refuses to stand up to Ahmanuttajob and his scruffy, hygienically-challenged cohorts in Iran who are on a breakneck pace to get the bomb. Barry's slick platitudes popped the Europeans' cherry this year. What a freakin' joke.

What a joke!
Today I am embarrassed for the stupidity of the Western World and the counterproductivity that will be caused by this "prize."
