Obama's shock Nobel win divides world press    AFP
1. YES WE CANget lifetime achievement award after only 11 days
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.09)
2. b.o. has done nothing to be awarded this prize
This is the leftist committee members spitting on the U.S. b.o. should be awarded a white flag for the way he is surrendering on the war on islamic terrorism.
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.10.09)
3. One could say the old racist adage
Obama is the token Black! And he fell for it!
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (10.10.09)
4. President Obama and the press
They are all wrong. President Obama promissed to fix what was severly damaged during the past eight years by the Bush Administration. It is impossible for any President to do the job in eight months but he did plant seeds for his projects and takes a while to have the fruits. He made peace with Russia and the Islamic world i.e. almost two billion people. What does the press wants more from Obama to prove that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Harold ,   Syracuse, USA   (10.10.09)
5. It's about enemies
Allowing your enemies to walk all over you, well it might be OK for the committee in Norway, but it is THE MOST DANGEROUS way of making peace. #4 - your perception of making peace is very different to some other people. Mr. Netanyahu has greater hopes of peace because he is seen as a strong leader. Obama is seen as a weak man.
Juan ,   Spain   (10.10.09)
6. The Prize
It has had no value since Arafat received it. What a "dignified" company.
Rosie ,   Israel   (10.10.09)
7. What has Obama actually done?
He has said he will do a lot of things. He is trying to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, bring the troops home from Iraq, and sort out the mess in Afghanistan, all while dealing with America's economic issues. If he does end these conflicts, then Barack Obama would be deserving of the Nobel Peace Prize. However, as yet, he has only set goals, and is yet to accomplish them. Therefore it seems very strange that they gave him the prize.

8. #5
When Obama promiss to do something, he will do it and never underestimate him. If Netanyahu is a strong leader then why he is getting orders from Obama.
Harold ,   Syracuse, USA   (10.10.09)
9. #6
Arafat shared the Nobel Peace Price with late PM Rabin and your present president Shimon Peres, who has done nothing for peace yet, because the three had one common goal and i.e. peace in the Middle East. If you condemn one you have to condemn all.
Harold ,   Syracuse, USA   (10.10.09)
10. To: No. 5
Oh really? Obama is a one-term wonder, whose ego travels far ahead of his abilities. He has accomplished nothing except to alienate a great many Americans, which explains the sharp drop in his popularity rating as well his approval rating. Contemplate the possibility that quite a few Americans are concerned about his determination to appease Iran, to work closely with terrorist-sponsoring states (which is against United States law) and ignore North Korea. His Middle East policy -- such as it were -- seems bent on appeasing enemies of the United States and bullying a loyal ally into taking steps that any sane person would see as an act of national suicide. Reaching out to iran is foolhardy. Or have you forgotten what they did in the U.S. Embassy, and how Iranian mullahs defiled the corpses of dead American servicemen who lost their lives in that pathetic hostage rescue attempt? I assure you that most Americans have better memories than you appear to have. Oh well. Not your fault, I suppose. Try gincoba.

11. One Big deal, B. Hussein won the Nobel Prize Caward
you can win the same if you try hard to do nothing YES, you can!
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.10.09)
12. Obama is like Allah, second only to Muhamed
Perhaps equal.
Joy ,   Chicago   (10.10.09)
13. Now B. Hussein can rest on laurels and really do nothing
from now on
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (10.10.09)
14. I always thought you had to
accomplish something to get a Nobel Prize. What has he done except play Chamberlain to the Arabs?
(10.10.09)
15. Hes running for Pope JohnXXIII PeasPrize like Mother Theresa
(10.10.09)
16. Kim Jong-il invited him 4 Dog meat Dinner to Celebrate Peace
Alan ,   SA   (10.10.09)
17. Nobel 'Peace' Prize
After Arafat was awarded the Nobel 'Peace' Prize the prize lost all of its credibility.
Judith Nusbaum ,   Rishon, Israel   (10.10.09)
18. HUSSEIN o refuses dinner with Sarkozy
That guy Hussein o was best nominated by the word "liar". That was the truth about b HUSSEIN o. What has he done, he delivered America to the islam, told that Turkey must soon be part of United Europe and after French President Sarkozy did answer that Turkey will never be part of United Europe than Hussein o did refuse to dinner with Mr Sarkozy during his visit to remember Normandy when he was in France. This politicak correct guy Hussein o is full of revench and hate, but as muslim he loves islam.
Jaan K ,   Goes Netherlands   (10.10.09)
19. Shows what the world is made of.
Just goes to show what Jews have been saying along. The only accomplishment of this wannabe Pharaoh, is his unique and consistent pressure on Israel to give up on their Jewish identity and accept a peace on the post-Hitler generation's terms. The world is and has always been about the suppression, or elimination of the only unblemished concept of G-d and his people.
Paul ,   Land of Israel   (10.10.09)
20. barak obama- nobel peace price
one day please g-d he may deserve it, but what has he done so far??? lots of talking no change
daniel ,   raanana   (10.10.09)
21. If he was honest
Obama would give the prize to someone who deserved it, like Denis Mukwege from Congo. Mukwege is a hero who needs the fame, the money and the protection. But Obama is not honest, he is just a selfish politician. bama is only interested in getting bling, whether from the Norwegians or the Saudis.
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.10.09)
22. Obama's Nobel Peace Prize
The validity of this particular prize being possibly a bit questionable, and our economic situation right now notwithstanding, based on Nobel prizes so far, the US is not quite on a downhill slide to Third World status. US institutions and citizens have garnered 9 of 11 Nobel prizes so far and those are not for bar hopping, tent revivals, and bronc busting. What keeps us going along with a few other fun things are the inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness, and freedom of and from religion. I was going to add "and to be all that you can be," but I'm not going to advertise for the US Army, when I'm the widow of a US Marine :-) Proud (most of the time) US citizen of who knows what ethnic and cultural origins :-) http://nobelprize.org/

23. Oy-vey-ma's Nobel Prize
And they say the Norwegians have no sense of humour ...
MHD ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.10.09)
24. Obama has done plenty to deserve Norway's prize
1. He bowed to the Saudi kings; 2. He made pro-Islam and anti-Israel speech in Cairo; 3, He nationalized the auto industry and is working on taking over financial markets; 4. He is about to nationalize the health industry; 5. He has given the US control over the internet to the 'international community'; 5. he is working on and has made first steps in giving up America's economic independence, again to the 'international community', 6. He has thrown Israel under the bus, siding with the Arabs. 7. He is allowing Iran to develop atomic bomb (just like Bush.) Now, the fact that SNL says that he hasn't done squat does not mean that it is true; he simply didn't deliver yet on ALL promises to the Left. Oslo recognized that.
AK   (10.10.09)
25. #4 Obama made peace with Russia...
and the Islamic world???? WHAT??? What planet do you live on???????? Obama has done nothing, ever., that's a fact. The US isno where near peace with Russia or Islam the whole world has been teetering on the verge of a third world war for quite some time, and Obama is making things far worse, rather than better.
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.10.09)
26. He ended torture in the United States.
That alone is worth the prize.
Mike G. ,   San Antonio, USA   (10.10.09)
27. YES WE CAN MAKE THE NOBEL PRIZE WORTHLESS
He got the prize 9 months into his presidency after doing nothing at all. His nomination was put forward in Febuary 1 month into his presidency when he had done even less. The only reason he got this prize was the world was sick of Bush & Obama sounded different so he is a little incentive to encourage him to get away from Bush polices. If the Nobel Committee actually believed he deserved this thing why didn't they wait dill he did more than make speeces? If they care about peace why did Jimmy the penut have to wait till 2002. Why hasn't Bill Clinton beev given a prize he really did go all out right up to his last weeks in office to try make peace. He did broker a peace with Jordan, even though it was a failure he brokered oslo so where is his prize? When was the last time a serving US president ever got the Nobel Prize? Giving the Nobel Prize to Arafat degraded the thing already but at least they could argue he was trying. Now its been awarded to Obama for doing nothing at all it shows just how worthless it realy is. Make a few speeches saying how much you believe in peace and your a worthy candidate.

28. #9 well actually they signed a "peace agreement"
which turned out to be worthless but Obama hasn't even managed peace in our time. When he was nominated he managed to achieve being elected against a highly unpopular incumbent party, during an economic meltdown, with every single media outlet supporting him and attacking his opponent and when he had significantly more campaign finance than the other guy and even then he only barely beat the other guy. If the democrats had put up an actual donkey it would have the same chance of winning.

Harold, how old are you?Are you lost in the woods??? Please, please, keep your cell phone on ( I hope you have a GPS service) and I'll send my bodyguards and my jet (they are real) to rescue you! Be strong,my boy!

30. Once for ever noble prize have lost her credibility
Please wake up Alfred and take back your wishes, the one that really deserved it did not get it (Mahatma Gundy) and those that they did not deserved it at all they have got that.
