Thorbjorn Jagland, the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee said:
“We would hope this will enhance what he is trying to do.â€
Jagland, studied briefly at the University of Oslo, whence he graduated with a one-year degree in Economics in 1975. He started his political career in the Workers' Youth League, and served as national leader from 1977 to 1981. Jagland also sat in Buskerud county council from 1975 to 1983. Jagland's cabinet, albeit short-lived, was marked by controversies from the beginning to the end, with two ministers being forced withdraw following personal scandals. Jagland, who was also ridiculed for his quotes and statements, resigned following the 1997 election, even though his party won the most votes.
Jagland has as much political weight and insight into the real establishment of peace as BHO did before his epic rise to the US Senate and Presidency.
It's no surprise that five Norwegians will give a monumental award to an apologist left winger who will do and say whatever wins the adulation of the world. It's an absolute travesty to see BHO equated to Theodore Roosevelt. Accepting this award certifies the hollow front-runner aspect of the improbable rise to the seat of power this guy has been gifted.
BHO has already said he will donate his prize "to charity". Right.
