Former Nobel boss, Geir Lundestad, says he deeply regrets giving Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009.
According to his recently published autobiography, Lundestad reveals how the Nobel Peace Prize committee became increasingly horrified at Obama’s failures as his Presidency unravelled:

“No Nobel Peace Prize ever elicited more attention than the 2009 prize to Barack Obama,” Mr. Lundestad writes.



“Even many of Obama’s supporters believed that the prize was a mistake,” he says. “In that sense the committee didn’t achieve what it had hoped for”.

Godfatherpolitics.com reports: Lundestad that at first Obama greeted the situation with some good sense and initially said he did not even want to come pick the thing up.

But, soon enough his natural (and proper) embarrassment at being given the award for no logical reason was overcome by his arrogance and desire for personal adulation. He went and picked it up in person anyway.

Of course, Obama’s detractors here in the U.S.A. widely made fun of the i***tic award.

As well they should. Obama did not deserve any “peace prize” before he had even fairly begun his first term.

And eight years later, even Lundestad now admits that Obama did nothing even after two terms to deserve it.

It seems that Geir Lundestad is not a v****g member of the committee that awards the prize.
So, while he is certainly welcome to his opinion, he himself did not have a say in who received the prize, then or now.

I said it at the time... Or ranted it...
It demeaned all other noble peace prizes...
Wish they would take it back...

Which is a shame, because he apparently got it right.

I was never even able to begin to fathom why he was awarded the prize before he was even inaugurated To merely think about peace deserves a Nobel?

Glad these i***ts are finally coming to their senses......awarding Obama that prize has
diminished it almost beyond repair. It will take years before it means anything.

Maybe if Obummer moved back to Kenya.
