Nobel Peace Prize

And if the person does not perform do we take it back? I think this is much more of a black and white issue (pardon the pun, to those who may already be getting ready to type something racial) and there is not room for a gray area. Either he has DONE something or he hasn't. I personally need to seriously evaluate his future stance on Israel before I begin to applaud this man for any peace initiative.

We don't do anything, because We didn't award the Prize. That is up to the Norwegians.

Of course we aren't talking about us. We here, at PT, are talking about if he is worthy/deserving or have I missed something.....

Oh, now I understand. I was commenting on your question - And if the person does not perform do we take it back? I didn't know to whom you were referring.

As for whether he is worthy or not, that's not for me to decide. The Norwegians are no doubt privy to information that eludes us. It would be interesting to read a transcript of their decision making.

I happen to be a huge Obama fan. And I am astounded that he was even nominated, let alone won.

The mid day news said this was a statement against the prior Administration as much as anything else. That Europeans did not like Bush, not one bit. That this is in support of what Obama stands for.

I'm with many of the above comments, this award usually (I don't know the history to say always) goes to someone who accomplished their goal, or fairly close to it. (If you wanted to open 50 schools and only got 32, that was fine.) This does seem to cheapen what it means, IMO.

You'll have to wait at least fifty years; that's how long the records are sealed for.

Great point Grace! Why should "the people on the left" (whoever they are) have to explain why it was awarded to him?

Did "the people on the left" make the award?

( I am so tired of this devisive labeling - leftie, rightie - his comment has negatively affected my opinion of Huckabee!)

Thanks for the info. I won't be around then
