It is important to let the world know that the members of the Nobel Committee do NOT represent Norway and the Norwegian people. Most of us do not want to have anything to do with the Committee and their ridiculous decisions, like awarding Barack Obama the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
Rest assured - most of us are shocked. At first we thought it was a joke, but sadly - we now realize that once again the Noble Committee either had a few too many bottles of whiskey or they simply pulled a name out of a bowl.
So, once again: The Nobel Committee does NOT represent us Norwegians. Most of us are intelligent and hard working people....well, with the exception of those who reelected that ridiculous socialist government one month ago....

Ridiculous that Obama won the Nobel Peace Price
The majority of the BBC News readers think it was ridiculous that Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.
Here are some of the comments on BBC's homepage:
- This is completely ridiculous. While he has made great strides international diplomacy, he was given the prize only a few weeks after his election. He was probably still busy moving his things into the White House when he got it. So, he was basically awarded the prize because of his "likability." I guess the Nobel Peace Prize doesn't hold much value anymore....
- What a joke.
- Mahatma Gandhi, the greatest symbol of peace and non-violence in the 20-th century, was carefully kept away from the Nobel Peace Prize till he died, despite decades of selfless hard work wearing nothing more than a piece of rag that was hardly large enough to cover his body.
- Obama gets it after just 8 months of jetting around the world and making some 5-star noises.
That says how worthy these 'prizes' are.
- Goodness me. In view of the length of time, the degree of suffering and the sheer bravery of the previous winners of this award, this is a terrible mistake.
- Total nonsense!!!
He has not been in office for a year and so far he has not done anything to earn any award let alone the Nobel Peace Award.
Do they take the prize back when he sends 40000 troops to Afghanistan?
- There are thousands of more worthy candidates out there, actually doing stuff, putting their life and well-being on the line. The trouble is they're not a famous president.
- About as ridiculous as giving one to Tony "Where have all the W.M.D gone" Blair
