Norwegian ambassador remembers his “most painful day” at U.N. Former Ambassador to the United Nations Morten Wetland says it was the day Norway awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Barack Obama. The decision was met with “considerable derision and criticism.”

“I think everyone wanted to know what motivated the (awarding) committee. But when I was going down to the U.N. in New York, nobody talked about it. It was weird because the U.N. is a talking shop. And people just looked at their shoes.”

Confucius say: Having people embarrassed for you, more painful than having people angry with you.

  • The Nobel Peace prize is worthless now, & the committee has only itself to blame. Obama was awarded the prize because he was not George W Bush. But where I think they effed up is when they awarded the 2007 Nobel Peace prize because of his "work" on "global warming". The tip off is that they DID NOT award him the proper prize if what he says wasn't total bullshit. He should have received the Nobel Prize for Science, but since it has become a purely political accolade, it is now meaningless except for 1 thing. It should instruct you what the global left thinks the agenda should be moving forward.

  • The equivalent was President Lady Pants giving known baby killer and abortion funder Warren Buffet a medal of freedom... Which reminds me of two things I saw, Warren is now screwing homeowners with his new real estate company and I saw an ad in Nat Geo that said Geico was backed by the prestige of Berkshire-Hathaway....I know I hated that little frickin lizard for a reason...besides the fact that Geico is leg humping President Lady Pants...

    • Don't forget the other reason to hate GEICO. The letters stand for Government Employees Insurance Company.

  • Half the UN can't even see their shoes. They all should be embarrassed by their stupidity of feeding King Barky's ego!

  • The final nail in the coffin that a Nobel Prize is a farce. Their credibility is gone forever.

    • That should have been the case when Krugtron got his prize. Unfortunately, the MSM indoctrinated haven't gotten the message yet for obvious reasons.

  • Remember when president Mom Jeans threw out the opening pitch just like a girl? Good grief he didn't even have the correct foot forward to throw a ball.

    Yeah, I wondered why King Barky the Incompetent didn't get the Cy Young Award.

  • Confucius was a smart cookie but when it comes to Obama we are both embarrassed AND angry.
