Obama snubbed the Norwegians
I'm sure they weren't exactly expecting this to happen, but it did (Hat tip: Hot Air):
Obama had quite a whirlwind day Thursday – he signed the Nobel guest book, huddled with Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg, met with King Harald V and Queen Sonja, and delivered an acceptance speech after he was formally presented with the prize. He also joined the king and queen at an evening banquet.It should be pretty clear now that the man is simply self-interested, to say nothing of irresponsible. In that case, one has to wonder if they're regretting now that they gave him the Nobel Peace Prize. Perhaps they'd consider revoking it?
But he skipped out on several other activities, including lunch with the king, a news conference at Oslo’s Grand Hotel, CNN’s traditional interview with the prize winner and a “Save the Children” benefit concert, where organizers replaced him with an Obama cardboard cutout. Obama also won’t be around for Friday’s Nobel Concert.
