Does the US Constitution allow Obama to accept the award?

The Peace Committee, Oslo, is requested not to allow the horror-struck American Journalists to run a risk amidst their Constitution.

“The award of the peace prize to a sitting president is not unprecedented. But Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson received the honor for their past actions: Roosevelt’s efforts to end the Russo-Japanese War and Wilson’s work in establishing the League of Nations.”—So is reported on the 16 th day of October, 2009 in a valued article: “An unconstitutional Nobel” in “The Washington Post”.

Dear friends, you should have mentioned that during those times US Constitution approved the said Presidents and there were no problem in the acceptance of their award? Maybe since both of them were white. Senate had nothing to disapprove. Although Obama is colored; being color there are so many constitutional and unconstitutional barriers. He will have to cross many hurdles to fetch Olympic Gold Meddles in so many stipulated events. Then only such a prestigious prize in his favor would get approval in the classic mind. What a tough competition!

Don’t worry; your ‘important legal questions’ are being discussed all over the world everyday after the 9 th instant. It is after all not an issue exclusively of the Americans. You all are so strong in your respective zones that often you don’t care to tolerate the strongest one, who stands diagonally opposite, rather poles apart.

“The five-member Nobel commission is elected by the Sorting, the parliament of Norway.”—They were unanimous in their opinion. What a strange absurdity! But before that there were ‘the record 205 nominees for the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize’. The first choice of the majority was obviously, in favor of our (sorry, your) Mr. Barack, living out in the open. Am I correct?

“Thus the Nobel Prize is an emolument, and a foreign one to boot.” O my God! When these gentlemen will be in a position to respect others? How ‘deserted Obama’ will be their eye-opener? We, the members of developing countries, move back and forth as regards political sagacity; let the US awareness in the fore decide the crux of the matter. It’s not so easy to get to.

**A federal statute provides that if the president accepts a “tangible or intangible present” for more than a minimal value from any foreign government, the gift “shall become the property of the United States.**–You raise the question of paying tax. Well, when the billionaires are paying scheduled Taxes, there will be no problem for ‘poor Obama’ to pay the amount. On that very day he gave up the fabulous amount to noble cause. Naturally, it’s not at all a problem as you think it to be. Definitely your Constitution have that provision.

“Taking President Obama at his word that the Nobel award is “an affirmation of American leadership,” Congress should allow him to accept the award. The prize money, which legally belongs to the United States, ought to be applied by Congress to some worthy cause, …”—Finally, in the way of advising your Honorable President you seem to be little reasonable and reserved.

I see, you don’t have the prophecy to measure the actual depth of Obama. On Friday, October 9, 2009, three Post Staff Writers reported—**Describing himself as “both surprised and deeply humbled,” Obama said he did not view the award as a “recognition of my own accomplishment” but as a way to give impetus to broadly shared aspirations.** Again, he said, he would accept the prize” as a call to action” to confront the challenges of the 21 st century, including nuclear nonproliferation, climate change and racial and religious discord.** from the then you dog him; he is silent.

“…that would honor Alfred Nobel’s desire to promote “fraternity between nations” and fulfill the intent of the Framers that congressional approval would guard against attempts by foreign governments to meddle in American politics by dangling presents, titles or any other emoluments in front of our public officials.”–The question of white-American prestige is at stake. There are so many academics; the particular “emolument” will soon be invented to make you feel emboldened.

No, no, please don’t allow the gentleman who secured the highest score in the Presidential Election in America to feel little shaky. Not to speak of so many idiotic among the rest of the world, he must depend on your wise judgment. What a setback! Sometime media lacks in intellectual fitness and as a result, the administration suffers from acute case of dehydration.

Gentlemen, let him face the challenge. Obama should go to Oslo all alone. We, the members of the rest of the world are always with him. He must achieve what he aspires and this is evidently for which stands matchless the humanitarian Nobel Peace Committee. They are wise enough to smell something from afar. Now it is all up to you to decide the fate of the future generations.

Finally, if your constitution approves President Barack Obama will be yours; if it doesn’t, he will be ours. Are the Americans ready to accept our challenge?

With regards, I remain yours in the Divine.

I don't know if he deserves to win, as Americans we're too clouded by the home front and are unable to see the world view of Obama...but the Nobel committee thinks he deserves to win. This isn't a prize for how Americans feel about him, but how the world feels about him. If what the committee says is true, if he's really transformed how people think of America to the point that we can start making the world better, then maybe he does deserve it and I don't think anyone in the US is qualified to make that call because right now we can't see the forest for the trees.

Ok, I'm not exactly a Obama detractor, I think he's doing an OK job as American president considering the ***** job he stepped into. But what exactly did he did he do to deserve this award? I really don't get it.

Thank you, my dear friends, thank you so much for your expressions.

Yes, being citizens of Developed countries, it is no doubt, very difficult for you to delve deep into what we say right now.

We the people of Developing countries have accepted President Obama from a state of mind that’s perhaps, at present, beyond your reach and comprehension.

Let us communicate and feel relieved in future.

With regards,

So it goes that 5 people chose him for the award - 5 people, like five fingers making a human hand. This goes to show that the award is a one-handed decision.
