818528 2009-10-10 01:07:00 Wow, such a lot of negativity on here about Obama! Can anyone suggest anyone else for the 2009 Nobel Peace Award? Maybe the Nobel committee couldn't think of anyone else either. Obama is comletely committed to gaining a peaceful solution to the Middle East situation. I don't know that anyone else is.

I think George W Bush had the same ambitions early on in his term of office. ;)

Alfred Nobel - scientist, inventor, entrepreneur, author and pacifist .

Alfred Nobel's invention of the detonator ensured a controlled explosion of nitroglycerine and made it possible to introduce this much stronger explosive on the civilian explosives market . His second important invention, dynamite, facilitated the transport and handling of nitroglycerine .

You see? Get it now?

Greg Mortenson, nominated for the prize by some members of Congress, who the bookies gave 20-to-1 odds of winning. Son of a missionary, a former army Medic and mountaineer, he has made it his mission to build schools for girls in places where opium dealers and tribal warlords kill people for trying. His Central Asia Institute has built more than 130 schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan — a mission which has, along the way, inspired millions of people to view the protection and education of girls as a key to peace and prosperity and progress.

As I said in my second post, in the third page.

You may have also missed the point the guy was nominated 12 days into his run as president.
What was the massive thing he did in 12 days?
Hell, maybe I deserve a Nobel Peace Prize too.

Didn't moan about Gore. Moaning about a guy who has done nothing, absolutely nothing except get elected as president.
The guy can't even claim to have done anything. That's why I am angry about this.

Ok Cato, I do get your point and it is a surprise to everyone that Obama was nominated. Yes, he will have to prove he "deserves" it. We just have to give him time.
