Media Reacts to Obama's Nobel Peace Prize Win

Monday, October 12, 2009

By Bret Baier

Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:
A Nobel Choice?
Immediately after the announcement that President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize, the reaction came flowing in. And while some media outlets were quick to characterize with — a broad brush — Republican reaction as sour grapes, here were some not-so-conservative media outlets' initial takes: Air America correspondent Ana Marie Cox wrote on Twitter, "Apparently Nobel Prizes are now being awarded to anyone who is not George Bush." Jennifer Loven at the Associated Press wrote: "He Won, But For What?"
Washington Post blogger Ezra Klein joked on Twitter: "Obama also awarded Nobel Prize in chemistry. 'He's just got great chemistry,' says Nobel committee." The Daily Beast's Peter Beinart wrote: "I like Barack Obama as much as the next liberal, but this is a farce." And Michael Russnow wrote on the Huffington Post that he too is an Obama supporter but, "Whatever Happened to Awarding for Deeds Actually Done?" Russnow likens the "extremely premature" award to "giving an Oscar to a young director for films we hope that he or she will produce.

Life is so much easier when you don't have to think, just read what others write, and travel all over the world to have dinner parties.

OSLO – One judge noted with surprise that President Barack Obama "didn't look particularly happy" at being named the Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

What was he worried he wouldn't get that fat envelope full of cash

Another marveled at how critics could be so patronizing.
In a rare public defense of a process normally shrouded in secrecy, four of the Nobel jury's five judges spoke out Tuesday about a selection they said was both merited and unanimous.
To those who say a Nobel is too much too soon in Obama's young presidency, "We simply disagree ... He got the prize for what he has done," committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland told The Associated Press by telephone from Strasbourg, France, where he was attending meetings of the Council of Europe.
Jagland singled out Obama's efforts to heal the divide between the West and the Muslim world and scale down a Bush-era proposal for an anti-missile shield in Europe.
"All these things have contributed to — I wouldn't say a safer world — but a world with less tension," he said.
For nine-year Nobel committee veteran Inger-Marie Ytterhorn, Obama's demeanor spoke volumes when he first acknowledged the award during a news conference Friday on the lawn of the White House Rose Garden.

I've been at the duck shack for the last week or so. When I heard about this I couldn't wait to get back and read what written. It was milder than I thought it would be.
