Excellent post regarding why Teh One got the Nobel Prize. Short answer: they're all leftists.
Politico’s excited to find that three of the five Norwegians on the committee are hard leftists (one of them a bona fide socialist), but does it really matter? European “conservatives” are about as far right as Joe Lieberman; you could have stacked the panel with Norway’s equivalent of Reagan Republicans and still gotten the same unanimous vote for The One that you got this time. The Gipper ended the Cold War and never got a Nobel nod. This is an institutional issue, not a membership one.
Obama won the NPP because he represents the America that the Europeans like: bumbling, ineffective, emasculated but articulate when it apologizes for America's greatness.
