The Nobel Committee have put a real nail in their own coffin with this one, and Obama should have the intelligence to decline the award - now that would truly be remarkable and serve him very well. After this, there will be little prestige associated with getting such an award in the future.
The nomination for this prize was made 10 days after he took office, so it is based on his 10 days of presidency. This decision was made by a leftish Norwegian panel who want to say that 'thank God Bush has left office' and they wish to assert that Obama is their best hope in being weak and indecisive in steering Western interests.
Even until the present day, nothing has really changed in American policy, and there may be another 40,000 troops going into Afghanistan very soon.
What this really comes from is his appeasement of radical Islam and her many extremists. Bowing apologetically at the feet of the apparently oppressed and dispossessed really fires up the hearts and minds of liberals everywhere and I suspect it is from this basis that the misconstrued 'hallucination' of peace has come.
(What a mistake to make. Once Iran has its nuclear armoury in place, which could be in the next few years, I'm sure both sides will sit down over cups of coffee and 'engage' each other with 'meaningful' dialogues about the "shared aspirations" for regional and world peace. )
He really should decline it. That's even better than being awarded the prize and accepting it.
