Read the part about nominations, in particular how names can be added AFTER February 1st, and how "In the process, a need sometimes arises to obtain additional information and updating from the group of advisers, especially if any of the nominees are involved in current political affairs."

Obama's work since Feb 1st (some of which Eric posted above) has obviously been taken into account.

The committee "has been known not to arrive at a decision until at its very last meeting before the announcement of the Prize at the beginning of October."

But then again the link in post 9 was from the Daily Mail, and we all know how factual that particular chip wrapping is.

I feel exactly the same way about the Guardian and Independent Guinness, because if you cut them into 6 inch squares an stuck them behind the loo door it would be counter productive, they put more on than take off:D

Err...last time I looked, newspapers were printed mainly in black ink. No doubt you would like to see them printed in white ink, to avoid any undertones of racism.

Re: Nobel peace prize

In a way, I feel sorry for the poor guy ... he was the best choice for President; he is intelligent and quite probably sincere. However, he is still part of the American political system, and to have all these expectations dumped on him is not really fair. He's stuck with two wars neither of which are his fault, an economy in crisis, and a many of his countrymen still hate niggers and would relish seeing him swinging from a tree. He didn't ask for this award .... and, quite possibly, wishes it had gone to someone else.

I suggest you perhaps take a moment to ponder before posting anymore incorrect statements.

;)

Sorry for the delay in replying. I gained the impression that you were being critical of my views and objections posted in another thread. If I am wrong I apologise.

Apology accepted, as I haven't accused you of hypocrisy, nor have I been it myself, in anything I've posted in this thread.

C'mon .... that's like paying a whore double to give you a dose. This isn't an award; it's a burden.
