My original comment got spammed, I guess.
Thanks again Amy, and thanks to this selfless doctor who is using her head and her heart to serve others!

Thank you Amy for this tribute to a humble, deserving lady!
We tend to get so caught up in the mortal realm, that we forget the importance of striving for a higher calling.
Dr. Samar, like so many others is not working for any reward other than knowing she has aided those in need!
That legacy will live on with those she has served.

205 nominations and probably every one of them was more qualified than BO. As much as we joke about, it just isn’t funny that noble people such as Dr. Samar were rejected in order to honor a dishonorable donothing. At least this farce has given her publicity for her cause so that she can receive the respect of the world if not a medal.

Rev. Amy— Thank you so much for the article and information! It is deeply appreciated. I was just thinking about her today.

p.s. hubby and I were in Greenville last week visiting his mother at that huge assisted living/ senior facility, spead out over some gorgeous acreage just east of I-85.
And we were delighted to find a Whole Foods, since we live near the original one in Texas. Congrats on a lovely state!

There were 205 nominations this year, and Dr. Samar was considered to be a front-runner. But the complete list won’t be available for 50 yrs (NPP rules). I know Sarkozy was another nominee, as were a number of Chinese dissidents (this yr was the 20th anniversary of Tiananmem Sq.). So, naturally, it would go to Obama, right??

Thanks for the bio on this wonderful lady, R3Amy. I would like to know about the other NPP nominees. I would like Americans to know about them.

OT: I just realized why all the Evangelical leaders are in D. C. lobbying for amnest for illegal hispanics. They figure it’s a done deal and they want the illegals to think the churches got amnesty for them. Then, the illegals will be just as likely to vote Republican as Democrat when they automatically get the vote and become an instant majority in the U. S.

Its great that shes the Deputy Minister of “woman stuff”. I love that she goes around only lightly veiled (the “over the shoulder but at the ready” look). That alone can be a big deal.

Her accomplishment speak for themselves.

I will be THRILLED when women can occupy positions unrelated to women, children, health and education. Women have much more to offer yet this is often their only role. Its frustrating.

Put the sign on the fountain. “No women allowed.”

No whites allowed.
No gays allowed.
No fat people.
No people who say No to your bad ideas.
No to Dr. Samar because she gave no money to and paid for no trips for the Nobel committee members.

Please treat Norway as if they are part of the six party talks, the G8/6, and the Oscar nominations. As long as they go along with the idea that Tom Cruise is an accomplished Shakespearean actor, Jimmy Carter gave us a great economy in the 70′s and Nixon loved the press (and burned his list of Oslo press black listeders) for Henry K. getting the award – then all is well.

Oh. I have no idea what I am talking about. Hi A, the Rev..

Who was at that dinner that Axelrod had in Oslo

I wonder WHAT was at that dinner in Oslo? Were they serving Minke whale meat? Are the Norwegians aware of what the rest of the world thinks about whaling?

Here’s the sad thing. The NPP Committee Spokesperson is defending their decision claiming Obama deserves it for what he’s done – you know, all the parties he threw in the first 11 days, I guess: The head of the Nobel Peace Prize committee has defended its controversial decision to give the award to US President Barack Obama, saying his work so far justifies the honour.

“He could have also had it too late,” Thorbjoern Jagland told reporters.

“Can someone tell me who did more than him this year? It is difficult to name a winner of the peace prize who is more in line with Alfred Nobel’s will.”

Mr Jagland, a former Norwegian prime minister, said “we are capturing the spirit of the times, the needs of the era”. (http://www.3aw.com.au/blogs/blog-with-derryn-hinch/nobel-committee-head-defends-obama-peace-prize/20091012-gtn7.html)

I cannot help but wonder if there isn’t some sexism inherent in this decision. Dr. Samar has done this work for YEARS, literally saving the lives of women, children, and refugees. Obama has speechified. Just a thought…
