Nobel Committee asked to strip Obama of Peace Prize

The Nobel Peace prize is pretty much a joke. If terrorists can win it, then there's no real value to the award. I don't understand why they think it MUST be awarded every year. If there are no qualified candidates (and I think this one, if being held to principle, would have the hardest time to fill), don't award it. But they hand the thing out like candy to whomever they like at the time. It's kinda like an international popularity contest.
 
I don't see the problem. He got the award for being a black socialist who hates the U.S. and he's still a black socialist who hates the U.S. He deserves to be ranked with Arafat, Begin, Carter, and many, many others.
 
according to the Nobel committee...

He didn't deserve it when he won it. Completely destroyed its value. I think, if Obama was honest, even he'd have said, "WTF????" Prolly did, laughing in his beer.

I think if Obama was honest he would have refused it telling them he had done nothing to deserve it.

That would take integrity though.
