Sometimes the world is shameless in its pandering.
Obama is a mass murderer just like Bush before him.
But yet the Nobel prize committee curries the favor of the American Empire, fearful that we might decide they have something of value within their borders and thus bring "democracy" to their country.
Here is what Obama has been doing these past eight months:

Is any of that terribly peaceful?
The "peace" prize is now worthless.
If Obama had pulled us out of Iraq and Afghanistan, I would have been the first in line to say he deserved it, but this is frankly just more bullshit and hypocrisy.
Look again at the truth of what we have done and what Obama is perpetuating:
Factsheet of Human Development Report 2009: Afghanistan ranked 181 out of 182 countries
***Life expectancy is 43.6 years.***
Cartoon by Peter Brookes published by The Times.
What an upside down world when perpetual war and death are equated to peace.
To those head in the sand Good Germans who will inevitably comment that Obama has only been president for 8 months and he should be given more time before he is judged so harshly - you are fucking stupid.
Yes, you are.
Obama is committing us to at least 10 more years of military action in Afghanistan and has been increasing troop and contractor (mercenary) levels steadily.
What if it was your child bombed or shot due to Obama's orders and policies?
To all of those who will inevitably comment that I am immature and unsophisticated and should cozen to the way things are in the real world, you are an unmitigated asshole and moral accessory to murder.
None of the deaths Obama is causing with his policies are necessary.
Wake up.
The Emperor has no clothes.
And no little prize no matter how prestigious it used to be will keep any country safe from the American Empire.
Polish Hero Lech Walesa Mocks Obama's Peace Prize - "So soon? Too early," said former Polish president Lech Walesa, a 1983 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. "He has no contribution so far."
Update October 11, 2009:
On the same day the Nobel committee announced this undeserved accolade, Predator drones which fly under orders from Obama used five missiles to kill 22 Pakistani, mostly civilians in their homes.
This is yet another war crime.
Pakistanis outraged over continued drone attacks
To those who read the linked article and think our firing missiles into a country we are not at war with and killing innocent civilians is OK - may you live to hear the screams of the ones you love as they burn to death while there is nothing you can do to save them. Such is the karma you deserve.

Less than 12 hours and the obamaphobes just can't help themselves for their non stop whiny bitching over every little thing. If he brought someone back from the dead you would all bitch about overpopulation. You make me sick.
Suck on it freepers!
This mess is EXACTLY why countries should THINK , DISCUSS, and DECIDE before starting wars and occupations. Isnt that what every single epic has taught us? War is hell! These pictures indeed show the reality of war .
I wandered back and observed the fucking amazing gas stove, etc. installed - that place will be the bomb.
I ran into my friend Evelyn, who is a chef, and we gazed upon the brand new kitchen. "Hey, Ev, what does this guy do for a living? He has to be dripping in money."
"he sells tv shows and videos to Russia. He doesn't like to talk about it."
Isn't that perfect?
Capitalism is the root of all evil. But I'll probably drink a glass of wine at that guys pub.
Capitalism is the root cause for every war. Democracy has nothing to do with capitalism.
Dude, where's my democracy?
