I would assume the majority of the world would still be Communist since China IS the majority..

Didn't this committee also award Jimmie Cawtah, the peanut farmer, a prize as well? Should we be impressed? Sure...............!

Which begs the question, what is the world's majority political belief? I'm betting it's not capitlism OR democracy..

I don't have a problem with Carter winning the award, he DID accomplish some things to merit the award and he stands behind his beliefs.

Can that be said about the most recent winner? Carter was a horrendous president but he did use his status he gained after he left office for good use.

The idea behind the prize is for it to be given to someone who promotes world peace. He has initiated talks with countries that have been otherwise shunned, fought against the creation of nukes in countries such as Iran, and has taken steps to reduce the overall "carbon footprint" of the US (which I know most of the truck driving rednecks think is stupid). There is no sense of even trying to debate this with people who have criticized Obama prior to his election. You're pissed because he strives for something other than what has been the norm. Sitting here in st. mary's which is hardly an area effected by the economy) it's become easy to say "oh no, everything is just fine. Why does anything need to be done different? His ideas are that of a socialist". I love coming on here and reading your absolutely ridiculous articles that you pull from sites like huffingtonpost- and you believe EVERYTHING you read if it's somehow negatively about obama.

wow!

Actually less than a month considering the nomination process goes back to February 2009!

Barry's in good company:

Adolf Hitler was nominated in 1939 by Erik Brandt, a member of the Swedish Parliament. Brandt retracted the nomination after a few days.[8] Other infamous nominees included Joseph Stalin and Benito Mussolini. However, since nomination requires only support from one qualified person (e.g., a history professor), these unusual nominations do not represent the opinions of the Nobel committee itself.

On closer inspection, the peace-laureates often have a lifetime's history of working at and promoting humanitarian issues, as in the examples of German medic Albert Schweitzer (1952 laureate), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., an African-American civil rights activist (1964 laureate) and Aung San Suu Kyi, a Buddhist nonviolent pro-democracy activist (1991 laureate). Still others are selected for tireless efforts, as in the examples of Jimmy Carter and Mohamed ElBaradei. Others, even today, are quite controversial, due to the recipient's political activity, as in the case of Henry Kissinger (1973 laureate), Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat (1978 laureates), Mikhail Gorbachev (1990 laureate) or Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat (1994 laureates).
