We bombed the moon yesterday. Tomorow? The sky's actually not much of a limit. Hopefully Obama will prove himself a better recipient than say, Kissinger or Arafat. This has to be seen as being a big giant wish on the part of the Nobel people. Edited by stupidstuff, Oct 10 2009, 10:49 AM.

Who knows? Hopefully he'll be able to live up true peace.

What has he actually done that deserved this award? It's ridiculous that he got it when there are so many other people that deserve this award much more.

As much as I like Obama and am grateful for the hope he symbolises, I don't think you can award the Nobel Peace Prize based on hope. As for Kissinger, BAH! He won it jointly with Le Duc Tho, apparently Kissinger was 'instrumental' in orchestrating peace between the US and North Vietnam. What a goddamned joke. The Americans lost the war fair and square, there were never any real solid peacemaking attempts. Oh wait, yes there was! The Geneva Accords in 1954. Too bad the Americans screwed that up!
