Between the Nobel prize in Chemistry (a Prof in my department won it, when probably two of the Profs in my department should have...) and the peace prize I've never seen such a shit storm on the interwebs this week. Twitter was full!Some interesting comments about Obama on fb:
"Unlike the other Nobel Prizes, which recognize completed scientific or literary accomplishment, the Nobel Peace Prize may be awarded to persons or organizations that are in the process of resolving a conflict or creating peace. As some such processes have failed to create lasting peace, some Peace Prizes appear questionable in hindsight. For example, the awards given to Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat, Lê Ðức Thọ, and Henry Kissinger were particularly controversial and criticized prompted two dissenting Committee members to resign. http://nobelprize.org/nobe
"Today I have learned that the Nobel Peace Prize really brings out the fighting spirit in people."
"Obama, ima let you finish, but my nephew is named Thayu which means "Peace" so he really should have won the Nobel Prize."
