Obama belongs to a race that's commonly identified as slaves; he mobilized a huge majority of American voters and was elected to our country's highest office. That's why he won the award, not because Rush Limbaugh called him a socialist and Europeans listened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907502252257695678.post-89107835026840328602009-10-09T11:28:26.788-04:002009-10-09T11:28:26.788-04:00clarification to previous comment previous "sitting" US Presidents.

I find it interesting that the two previous US Presidents awarded the prize were Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. I guess the Nobel Committee likes Progressives. Could this be because the Progressive ideology is more capatable with european socialism?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4907502252257695678.post-16202245951131640222009-10-09T11:18:52.543-04:002009-10-09T11:18:52.543-04:00The most interesting comment is that nominiations were due on Feb 1.
