Nobel for Peace?

Obama gets nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 11 days into office, and then wins the award for "calling for nuclear disarmament". WOW.

I hereby call for total world peace and complete disarmament and a world based on love and harmony. Come on, I TALKED ABOUT it, where's my Nobel?

Sorry, but this is pretty sad... I mean, there are dozens of other deserving candidates out there, working hard to try and make a real difference. And here we have America's new president, 11 days into office, seemingly having NO positive effect on Iran, on North Korea, on Israel-Palentine, on Agfhanistan, on Iran, bungling his way through his first year in office with nothing to show for results, winning the award, nominations for which were closed 11 days into his office!

At this rate, I think even Narendra Modi deserved it more! Or, the Indian government for having tolerated 9/11 and refusing to get drawn into a war that the world could have never faulted it for.

Interestingly, do you know, Gandhi never even got nominated? Or that Hitler was nominated?

Even poor Obama did not know it was coming his way. It complicates matters for the man ....who has achieved so much -- and has to achieve more.
Please don't compare him to Modi..you have no really have no right to go into that realm.

Maybe a move to make him keep his words? I was quite shocked too..I am just trying to see the silver lining now...
And actually, Gandhi did get nominated several times I believe, but has never won it(strangely enough!!).

Yes, correction, Gandhi did get nominated a couple of times, but didn't win it.
