He went to private school on a scholarship. There's plenty to criticize about Obama's policies but trying to paint him as some kind of aristocrat just makes you look stupid.

No, not yet but it is looking increasingly likely that he is going to immerse the US even further into the quagmire of Afganistan. I can see a Vietnam situation developing here.
I wasn't doing any such thing, just pointing out that he didn't exactly grow up dirt poor.

He's already doing so, and I can see Pakistan being invaded. Er, "US troops supporting the democratically elected government of Pakistan". (They're already acting in the area, but mostly drones and special forces afaik.)

I think he got it for being black.
No fucking shit. If he had any self-respect he'd send it back.

Maybe it was also a consolation prize for not getting the Olympics for Chicago. Just to make him feel better, like.

Gotta say, it would be funny as fuck if he sent it back. "Sorry, I refuse to accept this award, it's patronizing to give it to me just because of my skin colour, wait until I've actually fucking done something you idiots..."
I'd vote for him if he did that.

I think he got it for not being Bush (and for being black.)
It has more to do with rewarding the change in direction that the voters wanted than it does with what he's done in office (see above.)

If the Nobel prize was to go to someone else...who would then be the alternative option as a US President?
He has epitomised the concept of mediation.
He's said torture is unacceptable, he's addressed Palestine. Not a lot has changed but he's been in office for only a year and he's said the right things in a lot of places.

the world is in shambles and not getting any better and mr. obama gets a nobel prize for doing fucking nothing.

I can't make any sense of that sentence.
He's got 3-7 more years to actually deliver summat. If he deserves it, he's got plenty of time to prove it. There's a prize awarded every year, ya know?

it really doesn't surprise me to be honest. And anyway any old bastard can win a Nobel Peace Prize, didn't they give Kissinger one?

Well, I can - but if I do, it makes no sense. I'm parsing it as "If they gave the prize to someone else this year, who would become President of the USA?" which is a bizarre non-sequitur. What am I missing?
This is such a joke. The American people will not be influenced by a group of European elites telling us who we should pick for our presidents.
Carter, Gore and now Obama Why such a love for the US democratic party?
You all are so fascinated by America.
All America all the time.

Which European is telling the US how to vote here?
erm. Obama was elected before a "European elite" honoured him. You picked him, not us

So many particulars. So many questions.
