    The Nobel committee jumped the shark years ago awarding it to Arafat. Obama is in good company.

    Without browsing every page I saw 2, that's lots of people? Most wondered for what? Why do you think these "lots" of people" would expect us to say that, because we have a point? Because they know Arafat and peace prize should be two mutually exclusive things?

    Lots of people... being the commenters on Diggs... yup .

    But this doesn't address the question raised at the presser after the announcment about the President considering increasing troops in Afghanistan and threatening tough sanctions and leaving the military option open in Iran.

    The bottom line. The nominations had to be in the 1st week Feb. That meant the President was nominated roughly 2 weeks after being sworn in.

    Giving the Goracle the Peace Prize for making a movie about the environment had more credibility.

    Exactly, or has giving someone an award for actual accomplishments become passé?

    No because you follow party lines and will oppose anything for the sake of opposing it. It's also called "politics of spite": http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/05/op...05krugman.html It's part of the fractiring of the republican party that's going on.

    I think it's funny Obama's two biggest Enemies are upset about this. The Taliban and the Republicans. You guys are in good company.
