so why did you post this again? I've already posted it in my post #91. So you really haven't been reading any of our posts at all, si?
 
So, all in all. Obama getting his NPP is conclusively a hokey thing based on a bunch of questionable reasons as to why he was nominated for prior works, if you want to call it that.

right but why post it when the content is already mentioned in my post #91? I've already provided the link to its site explaining the process as well.

Either you didn't read most of the posts or you're trying to say something. I'm just mystified by your action.

there you go! a significant progress. at least you didn't say it's based on his mere 12 days of Presidency.

1. Do I think this whole thing with Obama and Nobel Peace Prize is questionable? yes
2. Do I think he really deserve it? not really
3. Do I have a problem about this? not really. Congratulation, Obama.

:cool2:

The nomination was based on Obama's prior work which includes the first 12 days. Seems like people were trying every which way up and down, sideways and fro to justify Obama's own past work was meritable for an award. I was questioning them their reasonings such as using Obama's own campaign speechs and philosophy as a reason for the nomination. Again, all hokey. All nonsense. Like DD said, by that extension and reasoning Neville Chamberlain should've gotten the NPP as well. And we all know what happened afterwards, too.

No. You didn't *describe* the graphic itself and the words in it for a DB. You're skimping on that, too?

You'll have to take it up to Noble Committee. If you wish to nominate Neville Chamberlain, get in position to nominate him. After all..... Jane Addams was nominated 91 times.

You'll need to explain me your reasoning why you seem to think "12 days" was part of the deciding factor. I'm having hard time understanding it.

Timeline of Nobel Peace Prize process
September – Invitation letters are sent out. The Nobel Committee sends out invitation letters to individuals qualified to nominate – members of national assemblies, governments, and international courts of law; university chancellors, professors of social science, history, philosophy, law and theology; leaders of peace research institutes and institutes of foreign affairs; previous Nobel Peace Prize Laureates; board members of organizations that have received the Nobel Peace Prize; present and past members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee; and former advisers of the Norwegian Nobel Institute.

February – Deadline for submission. The Committee bases its assessment on nominations that must be postmarked no later than 1 February each year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year's discussions. In recent years, the Committee has received close to 200 different nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominating letters is much higher, as many are for the same candidates.

February-March – Short list. The Committee assesses the candidates' work and prepares a short list.

March-August – Adviser review. The short list is reviewed by permanent advisers and advisers specially recruited for their knowledge of specific candidates. The advisers do not directly evaluate nominations nor give explicit recommendations.

October – Nobel Laureates are chosen. At the beginning of October, the Nobel Committee chooses the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates through a majority vote. The decision is final and without appeal. The names of the Nobel Peace Prize Laureates are then announced.

December – Nobel Laureates receive their prize. The Nobel Peace Prize Award Ceremony takes place on 10 December in Oslo, Norway, where the Nobel Laureates receive their Nobel Prize, which consists of a Nobel Medal and Diploma, and a document confirming the prize amount.
