I'm certain it saved us a ton of $$$ that would have went in the currupt hands of Obamas buddies. They would have needed federal money to pull it off and Obama would have printed some more.
I'm thrilled we didn't get it.

I would say it is a case of the NPP being politicized.
Do I think the administration lobbied covertly for it?
No, but I don't think they had to. The Nobel people don't want to not fawn over the president.
He's left with either accepting or saying, "Thanks, but I don't feel I've done anything yet for the cause of world peace."
A highly principled person could reject it, but he's a politician and as such, he's not highly principled - so they make a political decision. He can't reject it and join a NVA General as the only two people with the distinction of turning it down.
