Nobel Specious Prize

Stephanopoulos posits that this will strengthen Obama's hand both at home and abroad.  No.  It further lessens the value of the Nobel Peace Prize.  Just as inexplicable as the fact that he won is that it was a unanimous decision.  Go to the link and listen to the interview with Geir Lundestadt, the Norwegian Nobel Institute Director blather about Obama and how Obama's ideals are so close to the Nobel's ideals.  I guess that among the ideals the Nobel organization wants to promote, actual results do not matter.  Apparently, one simply has to have good intentions.  In that case, you could just as well award the prize to any average 5 year old little girl.

The new theme song for the Nobel Peace Prize is now the Barney song.
