I like some of the negative comments (I really don't) regarding the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama. Cal Thomas-conservative columnist-says the "peace prize is meaningless". Thomas quotes the Bible-James 4:1-3-that seems to say only asking God "with the right motives" can end fighting. A candidate for the office of Virginia Attorney General-Ken Cuccinelli-says "I suspect that whoever nominated him did it as a joke" and "how about that, it really did turn out to be a joke".
New York Times colunist-Ross Douthat-says simply that President Obama should not have accepted the award. For one reason it was only given by a "committee of five obscure Norwegians". He also calls the award a "travesty".
