How large is it?
It's so large he thinks he deserves it.
The height of conceit. Maybe he should get a few more Peace Prizes.

Only 14 days till the shit really hits the fan.

I read about his receiving the self-nominated award. I'm really hoping that Trump comes clean regarding Obama's birth certificate, and then prosecutes him, and finally negates all legislation passed by the Kenyan.

That would be fun Jackalope. Gotz your ears on? 75 meter seems to be pretty open tonight.

the award wasn't nominated by the Pres. He is technically in charge of the DoD but the award came from one of his reports in the DoD - probably a tradition or a snub against the incoming administration . splitting hairs, i'll agree, but he didn't nominate or present himself the award. One of his croneys gave him a going away present. The best i can call the Breitbart story is 'creative'.
- this whole fake news thing is giving me headaches. We truly live in an age where propaganda has more gravitas than the truth. I haven't found a news source that isn't full of BS anymore. Any ideas anyone? I have no idea where to find a news source that just reports the news anymore without the moral extemporizing, the scripted 'spontaneous' opinion. Between Fox and CNN you have two large conglomerates competing for control of the narrative. Oh well, that problem will go away in a generation - no one under 40 gets there news that way anymore. This whole echo-chamber news cycle is really splitting our country apart. you have people so polarized that constructive discourse is stifled in favor of spoon fed, predigested opinion. The assumption seems to be that if you don't agree with 'US', then you are 'Them'. our current news sources sound like competing psyops.

What???????? As best I can remember, Obama was nominated for the Peace Prize before he even took office and it was for what he was going to do. The problem is he never did what he was award for. I lost all interest in the Peace Prize after that crap took place. If I was awarded the Peace Prize, I'd tell 'em to shove it.

:thumbsUp:
I think the Nobel Peace Prize could also be called the Euro-snub award. They gave it to Obama to spite Bush.
and PKVEAZEY, you are spot on, O never followed through.
