President Barack Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
WTF?!
Why has he received the Nobel? For being elected?
The Nobel committee says it was for his work on reducing/eliminating nuclear weapons and strengthening diplomatic ties between nations.
Hogwash. He's done nothing but talk about what he'll do. That's it. That's all he does.
At least Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering peace between Egypt and Israel, a major accomplishment.
Al Gore won for his environmental efforts, as misguided as they are.
At least they actually did something! But the Big O just needs to show up to get his. Now he'll be insufferable as is narcissism won't allow us to forget he won the Nobel.
UPDATE: On the way into work I was listening to NPR. Even they couldn't believe Obama was awarded the Peace Prize, questioning the choice and the wisdom of the Nobel folks.
For more WTF, Glenn Reynolds has a compilation of reactions.
