And he was like upset by this coming year he was shocked and -- you know the -- European Union has come together and -- do you look I don't know what -- doing video we're looking I have to removal.
It didn't look very peaceful I'm wondering if they think the one point two million dollar prizes -- -- -- -- the debt crisis mean maybe that's what it's all about.

Have this but remember the Nobel Peace Prize also -- Yasser Arafat -- nanny for winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

Obviously this standing by they think it's still a good strategy going forward even know.
It's clearly been proven that -- United States and Europe doesn't cut them.
I think if you look at the country's the Nobel peace process Scandinavian countries they they might want to give them a Nobel Peace Prize.
They certainly are joining the -- disliking didn't do it turns out was very good decision.
And this is something that the Nobel Peace Prize has done what President Obama they give him the Nobel Peace Prize based on what they hope that he will do.
Based what they hope that the EU will do -- that that this is all the politically motivated -- right now.
The problem is the EU is disintegrating and is probably gonna become to used so much jury gets to keep this prize long term.
I mean in all seriousness they said that the European Union has had -- calming of stabilizing effect on the continent.
And I don't know how you can look at pictures.
Greek protesters dressed as Nazis to -- Angela Merkel when she comes in to save them from their debt crisis and say that you know the Europeans -- very -- -- stabilizing point when you bring up.
Bring back you know thoughts and images of Nazis I don't know if that's -- -- Nobel Peace Prize committee.

Or maybe not -- -- -- -- what is the Swedish word for -- at a local bank just.
And what -- symbolism is exactly what -- some of the rhetoric also is something you'd hear decades ago -- you've got the northern Europeans talk about the little lazy southern Europeans.
And you've got the right Greeks now very upset.
At the Germans bringing up Nazi references again.
This is terrible what is going on there you actually have Germans right now doubting Greece trying to collect taxes to -- Greece Greeks won't do it themselves.
The -- got a huge fracture been exacerbated right now you bring up these the Euro bonds -- -- this is something that is not sustainable.
