The Nobel Peace prize given to Obama really made a joke of the prize in many eyes around the world. Maybe now the Arab Spring and it's Egyptians Wael Ghonim ( creator of 'We are all Khalid Said' Facebook page ) or Isra'a Abdel Fattah ( 6th April Movement ) or Tunisian Lina Ben Mehni can revive it's real meaning. Bravo Wael and Isra'a and Lina Maybe even have special prizes for Mohammed Bouazizi from Tunisia and Egyptian martyr Khalid Said both martyrs who started that Arab Spring that ousted the Pharaohs from their thrones. rest in peace Bradley Manning who is accused of leaking the Pentagons, CIA and FBI secrets to the world is also nominated. http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/09/27/uk-norway-nobel-idUKTRE78Q51T20110927
Truthfully....I think that the Obama award has lost the Nobel Peace Prize all credibility.... so how's about Tony Blair, Netanyahu or George Bush as nominations...any of them would have as much claim to a peace prize as Obama. I thought that the Peace Prize so soon in his presidency, as a result more of rhetoric than action, would encourage Obama to turn his rhetoric into action....but I, and millions of others were very wrong, In fact he has become the kind of politician who sickens the average punter...one who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. Such a disappointment to the world. As Maggie Thatcher put women at the top of politics in the UK in a bad light and did the cause of women aspiring to the top jobs no favours at all, I'm afraid that Obama is the Maggie Thatcher of black US politicians.......the one who will ensure that it will be a long time before America elects another black president, regardless of his ability.
Oddquine They say he got it because he was 'not' the Baghdad Bomber Bush but turned out to be worse than the Baghdad Bomber, not for any reason except for who he was 'not'. How can you have election with only 2 parties to vote for and both are controlled by AIPAC andf Bankers and crooks and thugs! No better than our last government dictatorship and seeing the Manhattan arrests no free speech either. What a joke! It is really sickening I agree.
It does make sense that an American traitor would be nominated. He can put the money in his prison canteen account.
Bradley Manning has disappeared forever. They probably have him on suicide watch 24/7 so that he can't end his agony.
