[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Nobel Peace Prize jury under investigation

So interdasting.......

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Nobel Peace Prize officials were facing a formal inquiry over accusations they have drifted away from the prize's original selection criteria by choosing such winners as President Barack Obama, as the nomination deadline for the 2012 awards closed Wednesday.

If the Stockholm County Administrative Board, which supervises foundations in Sweden's capital, finds that prize founder Alfred Nobel's will is not being honored, it has the authority to suspend award decisions going back three years — though that would be unlikely and unprecedented, said Mikael Wiman, a legal expert working for the county.

ETA: year old article, apparently didn't go anywhere.

Remind me, what WERE Obama's qualifications?

Did he stop a war?
Did he feed the hungry masses?
Did he create a new drug to heal the sick?

Frankly, anyone who can actually think should be ashamed of his Nobel prize.

Yeah. I hadn't heard they were under investigation last year though.

Sports Illustrated just named Obama one of the "50 Most Powerful People in Sports" though. I'm not sure which one is more offensive. He was ranked higher than Mark Cuban and Michael Jordan

I didn't think you were serious, so I looked up the list... they even put him at #44 (he's 44th president)...

I'm speechless...

Agreed, the Obama thing was beyond belief. I thought it was an Onion article at first when I first heard about it.

They lost all credibility when they gave the award to Yassir Arafat, if not before then.

When that idiot Al Gore won out over Irene Sendler, I knew it was rigged...

The Nobel bunch has about as much credibility as the Academy Awards.

When I was a kid I asked my dad why they gave him a peace prize and he said "because he stopped killing people" from then as a young kid I learned what bullshit they are capable of. My thought/idea of "them" was the elite of the world that think they control the masses, now I realize how right I was.

Single- handed, just charged into the room and capped his ass.

They just discoved that they are all fucked up, the Nobel prizes in general are not what they were originally intended to be.

Politics and money got in the way.

Please keep in mind that the Nobel joke prize committee is not the same group that awards the scientific prizes.

Looks like you had the same kind of Dad I did, gave simple, yet deep common sence answers to questions.

I recall asking a question about the Pope once, (raised Roman Catholic,) and Dad said "He puts his pants on the same way I do. One leg at a time."
