Ex-Secretary of the Nobel Committee called the award of the peace prize to Barack Obama a mistake

62
Former Secretary of the Nobel Committee Geir Lundestad, in his memoirs entitled “Secretary of the World,” stated that US President Barack Obama, in his opinion, did not justify the hopes of the Nobel Committee that awarded the peace prize “in advance” in 2009. According to Lundestad, the prize should have been a stimulus for the revitalization of the process of nuclear disarmament, but no nuclear disarmament, as practice shows, has happened.

Ex-Secretary of the Nobel Committee called the award of the peace prize to Barack Obama a mistake


In his memoirs, Lundestad writes that just before the ceremony of awarding the Nobel Peace Prize, the administration of the American President was interested in how often the laureates did not participate in the award ceremony. A message was sent from the Nobel Committee to Washington, stating that such cases are rare and concern only those laureates who are in places of detention (for example, for political reasons). Lundestad says that requests from Washington talked about Obama’s reluctance to attend the ceremony in Oslo. Reports about it with the BBC.

For all history awarding the Nobel Peace Prize 4 to the American president became its laureates. In addition to Obama, this is Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter. And Carter became the winner after the completion of the presidential term.

Recall that the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded for outstanding services in strengthening peace in the world. Indeed, what does Obama have to do with this? ..

    Disgraced Obama. Not only did he fail to fulfill his presidential duties, he screwed up military operations, fired up a fire in the East, and he was mistakenly recognized as a Nobel laureate. Black president, failed president.

        Hmm, I did not meet expectations nigger. It did not work for white people to use the labor of black slaves in big politics. Conclusion: Negroes, even with a university education, should not be entrusted with doing important things.

        But in this case I do not agree with you. The World Prize Committee simply made a knicken in the direction of the host representative. It was only possible to talk about some independence of the Scandinavians until the murder of Olof Palme, who sometimes bucked Uncle Sam.

    In the entire history of the Nobel Peace Prize, 4 American presidents became its laureates.

    Moreover, there was an El Gore prize for greenhouse emissions, against global warming, when he was vice president at Clinton.
    The prize was given a bit in advance, and immediately it turned out the other way around, there was such frying that they did not even buy gas. Scoundrels, you can't believe anything.
    If not for this laureate, gas would now cost under $ 400!

    However, it turns out that "Ger" Lundestad does not at all regret that decision:
    The committee will not be deployed and will not review the decision made earlier. It’s impossible, the prize cannot be withdrawn. And besides, I don’t think any of the committee members have regrets about Obama’s award
