Nobel Committee Tinkers in American Politics

This is like waking up today and reading that Ben Roethlisberger was put in the Football Hall of Fame while still playing. Except that's a bad analogy, because Roethlisberger has actually won a superbowl. What has Obama done?

Even Peace Prize winner Lech Walesa called this preemptive.

This a totally political move by the old liberal farts on the Norway Nobel Committee -- and it pretty much desroys the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's a insult to legitimate winners like Mother Theresa.

Who are the jackasses who made the award?

From Wikipedia:

Thorbjørn Jagland (chair, born 1950), member of Parliament, President of the Storting and former cabinet minister for the Labour Party. Member and chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee since 2009.
