To be fair, Obama should definitely give back the Nobel Peace Prize.
The only Nation's leader that can accept that prize with complete honesty is Nelson Mandela.

I have to disagree. If Yassir Arafat can have a Peace Prize, an American president who went 8 whole years without invading a country surely deserves one too? If Romney or McCain had won, the US would have invaded Iran and Syria by now. Its a low bar but Obama is more peaceable than the alternatives.

Flashback: Obama Dismisses Islamic State As A “Jayvee Team”…Via New Yorker (Jan. 2014): …At the core of Obama’s thinking is that American military involvement cannot be the primary instrument to achieve the new equilibrium that the region so desperately needs. And yet thoughts of a pacific equilibrium are far from anyone’s mind in the real, existing Middle East. In the 2012 campaign, Obama spoke not only of killing Osama bin Laden; he also said that Al Qaeda had been “decimated.” I pointed out that the flag of Al Qaeda is now flying in Falluja, in Iraq, and among various rebel factions in Syria; Al Qaeda has asserted a presence in parts of Africa, too. “The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama said, resorting to an uncharacteristically flip analogy. “I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian. http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/01/27/going-the-distance-2?currentPage=all------------------------------------------------------- Man! Obama is so funny! Nobel Piss Winner funny! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayvee

The number of wars that you start is not necessarily an indication of how peaceful you make the world. The US avoided getting involved in the early days of WW2 and as a result Hitler was able to invade most of europe with pretty much zero resistance. Prior to invading Germany was under a treaty not to even bring troops near the border of Germany, and when he sent troops near the boarder Germany should have been invaded.

Fixing the US Economy Winning the war in Iraq
But the fact is that he started a new one with Libya ... A lot of people would say for Obama. A wolf in sheep's clothing
In what world did he fix the US economy? You do realize that recovering from recessions is natural and requires no government action? He managed to slow down the recovery quite a bit.

Basically, it's the "Charismatic Liberal Award." That's not to say that some recipients haven't deserved it.

His policies however were far from worthy of any peace prize pretty much just the accumulation of all those slavery years being put into one award for someone not worthy of that title. It would be like giving Putin's successor a prize just because they weren't Bush (or Putin) Although it could have well been Hillary Clinton to win that prize lols.

The Nobel Prize Committee seems to favor socialist leaning candidates, which I tend to think is why Obama was given the award.

I was leaning towards it being because it was the First Black President and what not Pretty much a full circle in American history from Slavery to Freedom to the President So whichever colored individual it was would win that prize not because of their personal merit but because of the historical one. He-he 8% to 92% http://www.debate.org/opinions/did-barack-obama-deserve-to-win-the-nobel-peace-prize

I take it if your man bombs Iraq for a good cause, like W did, according to the vote of mostly all the democrats in congress, Hilary clinton included, it is OK. We both love to bomb Iraq I take it Kudos for defending obama no matter what. I could not do that when W was in power.

I take it you wanted him to re-invade Iraq in January. Really? By the way your moronic rhetorical question of bombing Iraq in January by obama was a real option as your man is a moron but also a serial liar. He called them "jayvee team", FULLY KNOWING what menace they where way back in..... in? Obama administration knew Islamic State was growing but did little to counter itLike the rest of the world, the U.S. government appeared to have been taken aback last month when Mosul, Iraq’s second largest city, fell to an offensive by jihadis of the Islamic State that triggered the collapse of five Iraqi army divisions and carried the extremists to the threshold of Baghdad. A review of the record shows, however, that the Obama administration wasn’t surprised at all.
In congressional testimony as far back as November, U.S. diplomats and intelligence officials made clear that the United States had been closely tracking the al Qaida spinoff since 2012, when it enlarged its operations from Iraq to civil war-torn Syria, seized an oil-rich province there and signed up thousands of foreign fighters who’d infiltrated Syria through NATO ally Turkey. The testimony, which received little news media attention at the time, also showed that Obama administration officials were well aware of the group’s declared intention to turn its Syrian sanctuary into a springboard from which it would send men and materiel back into Iraq and unleash waves of suicide bombings there. And they knew that the Iraqi security forces couldn’t handle it. http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2014/07/24/234353/obama-administration-knew-islamic.htmlWhat a liar... Jayvee team? Really?

I take it you wanted him to re-invade Iraq in January. Really? ‘Top advisors predict a long, very long campaign’ in Iraq“We don’t understand real evil, organized evil very well,” said America’s former ambassador to Iraq and Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, in an interview with The New York Times. “This is evil incarnate.” “People like [Islamic State commander] Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi have been in a fight for a decade,” he added. “They are messianic in their vision, and they are not going to stop.” President Barack Obama authorized military strikes on select targets in Iraq on Thursday aimed only to halt the Islamic State’s advance on the cities of Erbil, the Kurdish capital in the north, and Baghdad. At the same time, however, the president continues to assure the American public that this is not the start of a third Iraq War. For the time being, the introduction of American ground forces has been ruled out. American military commanders seem to think that the president’s strategy of using airpower alone to reduce the threat posed by the Islamic State fighters is insufficient. “We must neutralize this enemy,” Army Lt. Gen. Mick Bednarek, U.S. chief of the Office of Security and Cooperation-Iraq told a Military Times reporter. “This is not just an Iraqi issue. This is not just a regional issue.” He added that, as even those only familiar with the threat posed by the Islamic State through media accounts know, this organization “is not just a violent extremist organization.” “This is an army,” Bednarek added, “and it takes an army to defeat an army.” Regardless of the assurances the president has made to a war-weary public, a report in CBS This Morning on Friday indicates that American military officials are aware of just how comprehensive a military campaign aimed at neutralizing this fundamentalist threat will have to be. http://hotair.com/archives/2014/08/08/top-advisors-predict-a-long-very-long-campaign/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who ever said obama was not creating jobs was a liar.
