It still riles me that Jimmy Carter and Al Gore won this prize, but at least they had done something which could be argued about and discussed. His lack of class is evident in the fact that even though he knows he has not done anything to earn this prize, he's going to accept it anyway. Why should I be proud of someone who won something they didn't earn? It's obvious that this award was given to Obama for one reason and for one reason only -- simply because he isn't George W. Bush. The leftists in Oslo agree with Obama's politics, so they gave it to him to show their approval. Why listen to Rachel Maddow when you can listen to the Nobel Committee itself?

The Committee assesses the candidates’ work and prepares a short list.

Rachel Maddow does an <a href="http://videocafe.crooksandliars.com/heather/rachel-maddow-nobel-peace-prize-and-obama" rel="nofollow">excellent job</a> of explaining the prize's history and purpose. <blockquote>Obama is a man who has about ten times the arrogance of any man on Earth, and absolutely no class whatsoever.</blockquote> ??? What might be an example of Obama's arrogance? Please cite an example of him acting without the utmost in class. Maddow is right - Obama Derangement Syndrom is well and truly upon us. How anyone can not feel proud and patriotic that a sitting U.S. President won this prize is beyond me. Talk about a lack of class.

Obama is a man who has about ten times the arrogance of any man on Earth, and absolutely no class whatsoever.
