Read my first post on this thread. It was easy to predict how it would go down.
Like I said, the honorable thing is to say "Congrats" and be happy our American president received this recognition, but that is not the state of the country today. Every turn is worthy of criticism and disdain, right? He fought to get the Olympics...he's an a-hole. He didn't get the Olympics...he's an a-hole. He got the Nobel Peace Prize...he's an a-hole...I am done.

Well, you are right about 1 thing... he's an A-hole 3 times over.
Even Obama himself realizes that he doesn't deserve the award, and that it is only being given for empty promises and rhetoric, and the promise of "hope and change".
