The jokes are flying fast and furious as the nation wakes up to the news that Barack Obama has won the Nobel peace prize for doing absolutely nothing.
This news makes Martin Luther King’s peace prize win for his historic civil rights achievements seem meaningless.
MSNBC’s Morning Joe Show ripped into the Nobel Committee’s decision to award Obama a peace prize. And White House chief of staff Rham Emanuel responded by sending Joe an email saying “stop being an A-hole.”
The Nobel Committee defended its decision to award Obama a peace prize by claiming the award is given “to encourage laureates rather than reward them for their achievements.”
Oh really? And here I thought the award was given to individuals for their actual achievements?
I’m submitting my name for next year’s peace prize nominations since you don’t have to do a damn thing to win one.

Hmmm I see your point now that you compared his win to that of Martin Luther King Jr’s…

I thought you had to do something major in the world to get a peace prize but oh well let him enjoy his moment
Keep lookin Sandra for all da negative press for MY NOBEL PRIZE WINNING BLACK PRESIDENT!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS MR PRESIDENT…..HAHAHA HATERS
Submit my name too, I too want one just like I want an oscar
I’ve already submitted your name for you sandra
Moving on
Well I am hoping Obama actually does something noble of winning but I just think THE COMMITTEE WAS TO DARN GONE STAR STRUCK…
And that ain’t Hating that’s the truth…
everyone above me has good points about the subject but like i said before what is done is done
Did anyone expect anything else of MSNBC? I stopped watching that crap during the election, that’s when they started to let us know they when they are off the air they wear sheets.
everybody star struck when it comes to President Obama.
I think Raham Emmanual is sexy
Go Pres Obama
Good think you did NOT ask for this award they wld be spitting fire by now you were so humble n your speech
Before I make a decision, would someone like to post what the criteria is for winning the award? Or I could google it…
I’m an Obama supporter, but I also like to make informed decisions
MLK hadn’t done all that he was going to do at the time he won the nobel prize. If Sarah Palin had’ve gotten the award, somebody would be having a parade.

Sandra you would win the “Nobel Hater Prize”
Congrats to President Obama!!
Sidebar: I am in the movies watching Good Hair. This movie is more for HBO, not the big screen. I am bored. I thought Nia Long would have a more prominent role in the movie.
^^^
IS that the same person responsible for “Pooty Tang”
I wish Pres. Obama would be more interested in meeting with Black folks than with rich spoiled gay white people who want play house.
Pres Obama met and meets with the CBC all the time AND I think he should remove the dont ask dont tell policy cause its DUMB and I never agreed with it. Men and women play just as much as house as gays
AM I bet you have a purse full of rocks waiting to throw them
They could have always given it to OPRAH!!!!! OMG Sandra probably passin’ cement blocks. LOL
@Daisy, you know I wanted to throw stones at you every since you said you text during church service. LOL
I have to look at the criteria for this award as well but who nominated him in the first place? Does someone nominate you or do you nominate yourself?
Oh and Daisy I LOVE Rahm Emmanual too. He’s gangsta with his words and politics. Strong businessman.
Also, if Obama really the first person who’s won the Nobel Peace Prize that didn’t deserve it? I’ll look into that too. MLKs award shouldn’t be used to prove your point in this case.
AM I don’t text the entire service just from time 2 time lol I am praying about it lol
Sandra you can submit my name also my acheivement will be a outstanding mother of 2 wonderful kids….I want an emmy & oscar award for lead actress at work for acting like I care in unnecessary meetings..I want a grammy because if half the ones whom win them in my opinion don’t have A+ talent I can win one to…I mean look at Kim Zolciak we all know she can’t sing but Kandi them did a good job in making the song a dance hit so don’t be surprised to see her name in award categories next year for that song “Tardy For The Party”

You better preach!!!!! LOL
I want an NAACP award for being a good house Negro by not whippin those racists white folks’ azzes on my job. LOL
Throughout President Obama’s whole campaign, he has spoke of peace, love, and co-existence, and because of it, many people have mislabeled him as some kind of p*ssy or something..
But in reality, peace, love, and coexistence are definitely needed throughout the world, and right President Obama is the face of that. I think President Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize is well deserved…
far lesser men have been awarded this coveted prize for less effective deeds..
To immediately compare President Obama’s award to Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is unfair, because no other man in the history of the prize deserved the award more than Rev Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
