I'm still angry at the Nobel Prize committee for inviting Russia to this year's ceremony and giving an ego boost to Russian imperialism.

I agree, and at the same time think it was ridiculous to give Obama the Peace Prize as well

Oh, absolutely. Here's the peace prize for droppibg bombs, killing civilians, and making the world more violent. WTF was that. and Obama accepted it, because he has zero integrity.

He received it 9 months into his term. Some argue that it was not for his achievements up until that point, but for the hope that it would be different than Bush’s

In that case, why didn't they rescind it when he turned out to be as bad?

They saw what he was capable of when he bombed his fellow Nobel Peace Prize Winners, Doctors Without Borders.
