Obama Gets 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

[Riot]

But the statement does pressure Obama not to use force in the theater that counts the most, namely the Iranian nuclear build-up. So, from the Leftist Norwegian point of view, it’s a twofer — bash Bush and handcuff Obama

Obama's long-stated ideas about nuclear arms buildup were a good part of what got him elected, I suspect - the contrast to Bush - and I doubt those ideas will change - based upon the Nobel? LOL - unless the world situation changes markedly.

Obviously Obama hasn't done anything to earn the Peace Nobel yet, except be just what the Nobel committee said: the representative of a United States people that clearly cast out eight years of aggressive military and national solitarianism and isolationism, the starter of two wars, the nose thumbing at Koyoto and the United Nations, in favor of returning to the world stage as a participant. It's a vote of confidence from Europe. They've suffered through the last eight years of American foreign policy, too.
