bribery: n. the crime of giving or taking money or some other valuable item in order to influence a public official (any governmental employee) in the performance of his/her duties.
The Nobel Committee stated that they awarded Prs. Obama the Nobel Peace Prize to encourage him to do what they hope he will do. Offering something of value to encourage an elected official is bribery.
But while offering a bribe is illegal, it isn't on the head of the one being offered the bribe unless it is accepted.
"Let me be clear, I do not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments, but rather as an affirmation of American leadership on behalf of aspirations held by people in all nations."
"I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."
In these statements, Prs. Obama acknowledges that this award is not about anything he has done, so he admits that it isn't something he earned or deserves. He also admits that accepting the money means he will do carry out the bribe by doing what he's been paid to do by the Nobel Committee.
~~~~~~
It's interesting, Obama makes fun of Americans who speak out against him, but he'll gladly accept money and praise from foreigners. It doesn't take a Nobel bribe to see that he loves praise and adoration more than the people he is sworn to serve. He also makes himself a criminal.

In the picture your post painted, the Nobel Committee looks like a foreign lobbying group. nobody, on the left or right, is really (honestly) surprised that 0bama would be swayed by such a group.

I notice none of the lefties here have the guts to respond.
