Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi have run for nobel peace prize award 5 times but never once won the award. He made peace in India. How come Obama won the prize when he have not YET made peace?|||The criteria - well obviously to be the first black US president.
It must be that because Obama has done absolutely nothing so far (and certainly nothing in the 12 days he was in office when nominations were made) to deserve a peace prize.|||I imagine half the sane world is asking the same question with regard to the latest recipient. Makes a mockery don't it!!!
And I'd like to suggest that if Obama was so amazed ..... why didn't he refuse to accept it! Hah. Pigs and fly come to mind.
On the other hand, it does occur to me that having received this award, he might have to think twice before he does a Bush, and marches into another foreign country on the dubious grounds of WsMD. So maybe, just maybe, it wasn't such a daft idea after all.|||Alfred Nobel wrote in his will that the peace prize was to be given "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing".
armies, and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."|||The title question you posted is probably on the mind of 90% of the world's population right now. Too bad the judges forgot to review it before thinking of a politician who had been in office just 2 weeks before the nominations ended last February.|||I have no idea. It is baffling.
I am not American and don't live there, though he seems a pleasant enough fellow, but surely these awards should be for lifetime achievement and he has only been in office since January. He could be as astonished as the rest of us.|||Not just that, bu Obama has sent MORE troops into Afghanistan. The people on the panel need help...|||Gandhi came from South Africa (if it is the one mentioned..) Maybe if he had come from India - anyway, It discredits those who have the award - too futuristic in "hoping". (depends on the 'criteria'.)|||A great PR campaign. He won it for his campaign speeches and his electoral propaganda machine.
Also for being black and so gosh darn cute.|||they must have changed it , I thought it was for extra outstanding contribution to mankind. yes there were several who were well qualified. who never received it. since it Begin|||Obama is right up there with Mother Teresa, peace wise. Gandhi just didn't get enough 'face time' like Obama the rock star does, I guess.|||The Nobel Prize committee are full of morons.
I lost respect for them when Al Gore got one for his over-glorified powerpoint. That just proved that ANYONE can get one.|||Too bad Gandhi can never win the Nobel Prize because they don't award posthumous honors.|||It is obvious no concern is immune from hype. This comes down to idolatry.|||Because he is a black american
