Should Obama resign for accepting the Nobel Peace Prize?
After all it is a "peace prize" but he has escalated warfare in several countries that has lead to numerous killing of innocent civilians.

Did he not lie to the entire world by accepting this medal?

1. No, he has been quite straightforward on his foreign policy

5. So accepting a peace prize and signing off on the murder of innocent people is not a lie?
Where in his foreign policy did he say he would bomb other countries? I googled it and didn't see anything about it in his campaign.

6. I think he should resign (half-term), take a "family vacation" campaign trip in a bus, and ... D'OH!
Some fucking moron already did that.

10. No. All he said was 'thank you'.
He did not say "I pledge to live up to this award".

Therefore, he did not lie.

But he should give it back.

11. Wouldn't that be implied by accepting the award.
Why bother with the ceremony at all then, just decline.

14. Well apperantly lying is the reason for AW to resign.
To accept the NPP is a statement that you are for peace and yet he is an escalater of war and killing.
