smittyoneeach's Journal: We may be past our need for British irony consultants

Last Wednesday, a White House petition was created to take away the Nobel Peace Prize won by President Obama in 2009 and give it to Putin for his handling of the crisis in Syria.

I agree.

But they occur in different years.

The subject of "War." It's how you determine if you are speaking with a human being, or a dangerous, bipedal animal.

Yeah, but the additional friction of having "You didn't build that" give his own medal up to Vladimir is a nice touch.

Also, the thought process of giving a Nobel Prize to a no-talent rodeo clown on spec in the first place.

Can you take it away posthumously?

The peace prize went to the idea of Obama [artvoice.com], not Obama himself. While the latter is still alive and kicking, the former is undoubtedly deceased. Much as the Nobel prize cannot go to a dead person, I suspect it cannot be taken away from a dead person either.
