Vladimir Putin has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize...

Same mindset that Obama employs to run our country is the mindset that would do something like this.... Naive and grossly under educated about how things work in the real world.

Yeah, They don't have any meaning anymore. They pass them out to whoever happens to be standing there at the time.

(from the article ...)

A record 278 candidates, including 47 organizations, received nominations for the 2014 prize, said the Norwegian Nobel Institute's director, Geir Lundestad.

We are getting an increasing number of nominations from people in countries that have never submitted nominations before," Lundestad said.

Although nominations are kept secret for 50 years, thousands of people around the world are eligible to propose candidates, including any member of any national assembly, and many make their picks public.


I'd bet it was just one of Vlad's PR guys who nominated him. No big deal.
