He shouldn't have received it when he did, but he could definitely be a serious contender in, say, 2014.

No. He only received it because of the hype of there being a black president and Bush's unpopularity.

While certainly not their first mistake (for example, Kissinger), he was probably the first Nobel Prize winner to bomb 7 countries at once.

There's probably not a bigger "HP" red flag than making a point of using Obama's middle name.

Yes, his restrained response to the Bowling Green massacre should be commended by all peacemakers.

-If the prize was non-ironic, I think he'd have been less deserving of it in 2014 than in 2009.

No, but to be honest, a lot of people do not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.

I love that eharding uses "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" like a freerepublic poster who's been in a coma since 2009.

Eharding is, at the very least, not pretending to NOT be a racist.

-Using O's middle name isn't racism in this case, and I didn't add emphasis to it. I think he's pretty smart, comparable to DJT, me and Putin. I just find it hilarious how Glenn Beck was right about Obama creating a Muslim Caliphate. I still believe realpolitik explains more of his actions than sympathy to militant Islam.

No, it was the wrong decision. Is foreign policy was very mixed. But certainly not to reward with the Nobel Peace Prize.

I would have said "no," but since the only options were "yes" and "of course not," I had to click "yes."

No, but he still deserved it more than either his predecessor or his successor.

No.

Also, emphasizing Hussein to dog whistle is just as bad as when Dems use Beauregard to dog whistle.

-I wasn't emphasizing Hussein, and who was I dog-whistling to? There's nothing wrong when Dems use Sessions's full name.

They only do it because apparently south is supposed to equal bad. It encourages negative stereotypes.
