Vitor, The Peace Prize is given by Norway. The others are given by Sweden.

I gave all my pocket change to the Salvation Army dozens of times over the years, which is an actual, TANGIBLE act of philanthropy — where’s MY Nobel Prize?

The Nobel prize is given by the Sweden, not the Norwegian. Before someone say “it’s basically the same”, I tell the Sweden are blondier than the Norwegian.

Dick Morris has an interesting explanation on Norway awarding Obama this prize. Here is an excerpt:

Now, the Norwegians have weighed in to support Barack Obama in his bid to reshape America so it looks more like, well, Norway, or at least like Europe.

European socialism cannot succeed without conquering the United States. If the European Union has high taxes and the US keeps its levies low, business and brains will flow to America. If the EU’s labor standards require long vacations, high benefits, and proscribe layoffs and ours’ do not, employers will migrate across the ocean to do their business in the States. If the Old World curbs ambition by taxation, regulation, and social opprobrium, the ambitious will flock to the New World as they have done for four hundred years.

"Ok, let me get this straight. TWO WEEKS after he was sworn in, Zero got nominated for the Nobel. Even though he has “…..no concrete achivements as yet….” it’s for what he will do in the FUTURE!? You can’t make this crap up! AFSarge, And ye non-believers didn't think I was serious when I addressed him as The Messiah. He better be careful though. He might get people really CROSS

You can’t make this crap up! Using this logic, can I get my full pay for the next five years for the work I will be doing? My God,I used to hold the Norwegians in high esteem.

I saw it on a blog and thought it was satire. I could hardly believe my eyes when I realized it was real.
