DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse linked Steele's response to
the cheer from some conservatives last week after Chicago was not
awarded the 2016 Olympics, despite presidential lobbying.
?Republicans cheered when America failed to land the Olympics and now
they are criticizing the president of the United States for receiving
the Nobel Peace Prize ? an award he did not seek but that is
nonetheless an honor in which every American can take great pride ?
unless of course you are the Republican Party,µ Woodhouse said in a
statement Friday.

Democrats pounced Friday on a statement from Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele, who said President Barack
Obama did not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
In an e-mail to reporters, DNC press secretary Hari Sevugan suggested
that Steele's statement, which said Obama?s ?star powerµ had
overshadowed more deserving recipients, was similar to reactions from
Hamas and the Taliban.
The e-mail, sent to reporters shortly after Steele's statement,
included the RNC response to the Nobel Peace Price, as well as the
reactions from the two terrorist groups.
Steele's early statement in reaction to the surprising decision to
award Obama the prize was critical, which has largely mirrored the
reaction among conservative activists and bloggers, who have blasted
the Nobel committee's decision.
But many other elected Republicans, including Minnesota Gov. Tim
Pawlenty and Sen. John McCain (Ariz.), have either kept their powder
dry or offered words of praise for the president's award.
