President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize. What do real Americans think?

"Something has happened here that we all agree with the Taliban and Iran about and that is he doesn't deserve the award." -- Rush Limbaugh

"Mikhail Gorbachev won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1990. A year later, he was out of power and the Soviet Union had dissolved. I don't mean to compare Barack Obama to Gorbachev, who was, whatever his faults, a truly historic and courageous figure."
-- William Kristol

"I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news." -- Erick Erickson

"After a number of years, the NFL renamed its Super Bowl trophy after its most fitting recipient — it's now called the Vince Lombardi Trophy. I'd like to see the Nobel Foundation follow suit. If today's headlines said, 'Barack Obama Wins Yasser Arafat Prize,' that would be perfect."
-- Andy McCarthy


"I guarantee that Marisa Tomei did more to win the Academy Award in My Cousin Vinny than Barack Obama has done to win the Nobel Prize." -- Joe Scarborough

"In awarding the Nobel Prize for Peace to Barack Obama, the Nobel commitee has made itself look ridiculous." -- Patrick Buchanan

"Obama's bankrupted the US economy and destroyed the morale of our military. No wonder he was awarded the Nobel." -- Gateway Pundit


"The Nobel Peace Prize should be turned down by Barack Obama and given -- you ready for this? Oh, this one's gonna make headlines -- should be given to the Tea Party goers and the 9-12 Project." -- Glenn Beck


"It’s the final nail in the Nobel Peace Prize Committee’s coffin." -- Michelle Malkin

"I am both surprised and deeply humbled. I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership...I will accept this award as a call to action." -- President Barack Obama
