I'm so disappointed that this isn't true. But the very idea did make me smile. It would be nice if the Nobel Peace Prize actually meant something, but it has always been flawed in execution. I vaguely recall a famous guy (I think an author) who was anti-war got nominated in the first half of the 20th century and he angrily demanded they don't consider him as he held them in contempt and refused to take part in their farce.

This wasn't a fake article, Friends. There may have been a spoof on it( and I am sure there was) but one of the Nobel peace Prize officials did say that they wanted the Clown in Chief to return it. I am not perfect but I would try not to put a spoof up as real news!------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

]In October 2011 the web site The Final Edition (TFE) riffed on this controversy by publishing an srticle about the Nobel Committee`s having asked Presedent Obama (nicely)to return his Nobel Prize Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, said today that President Obama “really ought to consider” returning his Nobel Peace Prize Medal immediately, including the “really nice” case it came in. Jagland, flanked by the other four members of the Committee, said they’d never before asked for the return of a Peace Prize, “even from a damnable war-criminal like Kissinger,” but that the 10% drawdown in US troops in Afghanistan the President announced last week capped a period of “non-Peace-Prize-winner-type behavior” in 2011. “Guantanamo’s still open. There's bombing Libya. There's blowing bin Laden away rather than putting him on trial. Now a few US troops go home, but the US will be occupying Afghanistan until 2014 and beyond. Don’t even get me started on Yemen!” ] http://www.snopes.com/politics/satire/nobelprize.asp If one went to the site quoted (TFE)and read the rest of the tongue in cheek article , it finished this way: quote: But, he revealed the committee members were all “legless drunk” the day they voted, as it was the start of Norway’s annual aquavit-tasting festival. The “totally toasted” members listened over and over to replays of Obama’s Cairo speech, tearing up and drinking shots to the glorious future: a black man leading America and the world into a new era of peace, hope and goodwill. “For a few hours we were all 18 year-old students again at the beautiful, occasionally sunny University of Bergen! Oh, how we cried for joy!” The chairman said the committee weren’t “going to be pills” about getting the Prize back because they still “basically really liked” Mr. Obama and that sending it back in a plain package by regular mail would fine if it would save him the embarrassment of a public return. But added Jagland, “things could get nasty” if the committee didn’t see it by the time they announce the new Peace Prize winner in the fall. He and the committee then excused themselves to resume their celebration of Norway’s annual aquavit-tasting festival. The White House had no comment. It later announced an aggressive new covert CIA initiative to identify and apprehend Al Qaeda operatives in Scandinavia.

Not really. Fox is not as objective as you might think. they are in bed with Monsanto, so that tells you something. Fox is the best out there, yet they cannot be totally trusted  ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

Look, Juni. It is silly to have a fight if it is real or not. My source does not joke, but if you want to fight, you will have to do it alone  ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/
