"How is it possible to give the Nobel Peace Prize to someone who has launched an invasion, a bombing? It's a violation, an assault, an aggression," said Morales, one of Latin America's most left-leaning leaders and a vocal critic of the United States.
"Obama is the leader of a group of thugs who led an assault and an invasion -- and that has nothing to do with defending human rights," he declared.
Obama received the prize in December 2009, less than a year after taking office.
In his acceptance speech in Oslo, Obama referred to himself as "the commander-in-chief of a nation in the midst of two wars" and said armed conflict was at times necessary.
Obama gave his $1.4 million Nobel Peace Prize award money to 10 charities, including groups working on Haiti relief and supporting military families.
