Analysis: He won, but for what? "The Nobel committee, it seems, had the audacity to hope that he'll eventually produce a record worthy of its prize." Comment: absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize. "The achievements of all previous winners have been diminished." President Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize (updated) "Even Obama sycophants like NBC's David Gregory are gobsmacked by this ridiculous choice. How much of a backlash will there be?"
