What is there to discuss? If you say anything even remotely critical of "the one" then the topic disappears.
From what I've read, he's being given the award for promoting peace between Muslims and the rest of the world. It must have been a slow year for the peace movement.
The nomination for the Peace Prize had to be in by Feb 1, 2 weeks after he got into office. So he was nominated before he did anything at all. I guess it was just expected that he would do something worthy of the nomination after the fact.
I wonder who else was on the nomination list. Some poor person has probably worked their whole life towards something like this, and lost to Obama
Myth: Candidates can be nominated until the last minute.
The nomination deadline is eight months before the announcement, with a strictly enforced deadline of Feb. 1.
Supposedly people on the committee were asked, and answered that sometimes they award the prize in the hopes that it will elevate the person to achieve what they have promised. Award it before they do what they say they are going to do, to give them more credibility and a better chance at achieving it.
Whatever that means.
