Yeah, I guess you can't really blame Obama personally.
But.... (You knew it was coming.)
A look back at some of the people they have given it to.
US Presidents
Theodore Roosevelt - The original "pass the law and worry about it being Constitutional later" Progressive.
Woodrow Wilson - The man who imprisoned over 750,000 American Citizens, just because they spoke out about the Government. Funny how you don't read that in history books. Also, the wanna be dictator who gave us the income tax and the IRS.
Jimmy Carter - The most embarrassing excuse for a President we ever had. His awkward statements of him trying to not sound racist, but actually proves it are the best.
Barack Obama - The jury is still out I suppose. But so far, not so good. On the record as having the same mindset as Woodrow Wilson.
Then there is Yassir Arafat. Yeah, enslave your people so you can live the fat life. All the while killing as many Jews as possible.
Al Gore? :rofl1:
Koffi Annan - The, perhaps, most corrupt Secretary General of the UN, ever. And thats saying alot...
They even gave it to Gorbachev. "For helping end the Cold War." The Cold War would still be going on had not Ronald Regan won it. Ronald Regan walking away from the SALT II table in 1987 was the final straw that won the Cold War. But they give it to Gorbachev?
So yeah, there might be just a teeeeeeennnssssyyyyy bit of bias on the Nobel Panel. But only a little bit.
Being awarded a Nobel Prize, especially the "Peace" Prize... Is, nowadays especially, a pretty damning declaration of a persons world view.
