Also nominations closed about 2 months after Obama took office. He wouldn't have even known his way around the west wing by then let alone have been able to have unleashed the forces of peace upon the world. Which we are still waiting for. And waiting. :bebored:And waiting.
On reflection, it seems most logical to me that the Peace Prize was negotiated/bought well ahead of Obama taking office. It was part and parcel of the bright, new, smiling, caring (rhetorically speaking only, of course) Obama Administration that was carefully foisted upon the American public and the World.
I think Chussodovsky may well have hit the nail on the head.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
