Obama Peace Prize win has Americans asking why?

By Michelle Nichols
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The award of the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday to U.S. President Barack Obama had many puzzled Americans scratching their heads.

"It would be wonderful if I could think why he won," said Claire Sprague, 82, a retired English professor as she walked her dog in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. "They wanted to give him an honor I guess but I can't think what for."

Itya Silverio, 33, of Brooklyn, was also surprised. "My first opinion is that he got it because he's black," she said. "What did he do that was so great? He hasn't even finished office yet."

Hmmm. The same people who gave the same award to Jimmy Carter.

Is this is the same Obama who can't bring peace to a streetcorner in Chicago? The same man who has speech writers so he can READ them? He was given this award for his POTENTIAL? Sure cheapens that award.

If he had any honor at all he would refuse the prize and all that goes with it, but his ego will not allow him to refuse it. I was totally dumbfounded when I heard this news and can only say, the Nobel prize organiztion has shown itself to be the lefties they are.

Yes, and remember, these are the same people who gave one to Al Gore for his fictitous movie, "An Inconvenient Truth." One article I read said that the nominations had to be in by February 1, less than 3 weeks after Obama took office! Obviously, the Nobel Peace Prize means NOTHING.

Think about this. They don't want him to send any more troops into Afghanistan, so what better way to sway him not to do it. After this ultra humbling award for doing absolutely nothing positive ever in his life, how could he justify sending 40K troops to possibly win this war. He said he does not deserve to be in the same company as those that have previously received this award. What? Wrong! He is in precisely the same types as he, namely, Carter, Gore and the other socialist(communist) jerks before him..........
