The Nobel Peace Prize used to be an honor to receive, It was bestowed on persons for outstanding contributions in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. But ever since Obummer won it a couple of years ago it moved to the category of 'I Can Be Bought.' I means little or nothing of what it used to mean. Something else he screwed up.

I would say the committee that took the decision to award it to him screwed up. I have plenty to blame Obama for without blaming him for the actions of others.
