So apparently you can win a Nobel Peace Prize for things you claim you will do but have not actually done yet...Ridiculous...I will end all war by 2012 via Facebook, now give me the Nobel Prize next!

Weak. Especially considering the scheduling of nominations and such.

Yeah, I heard about this the other day and almost shitmyself. 2 weeks after he got sworn in was when the nominations were due right?

I mean dude, even at THAT point, what did he do?!?!?!?


He even came out and said himself he didn't do enough to earn it.

The Obama Apology Tour has worked I guess!

he was given the prize for his vision and the hope he inspired. he freely admitted that he didn't deserve the award, and is giving every dollar won away to cancer-research charities. i support him, but i agree it should've gone to someone else. in the end, it's a peace medal, and if his cabinet's aim is peace, then so be it.
