Are you freakin' kidding me? No, apparently you're not. Obama really has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. NOT that the Nobel has any real significance anymore, but still. At least up until now people had to do something that the committee deemed worth the effort (even if it was something as stupid as making a movie spreading disinformation about global warming).
Obama's accomplishment? His very existence -- I kid you not.
The Norwegian committee said, "Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future. His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."
They might better have awarded him the prize based on his pectorals. After all, the news has written about them as well. And really, considering the picture posted on the White House website titled "hero_weeklyaddress_9-26-09.jpg," I hardly think the man needed another ego boost:
What a joke.

Major ditto.
Couple this with ABC's lovefest for Michelle Obama's great-great-great grandmother who was apparently a slave, and you really really gotta wonder what's in this particlular batch of Kool-Aid.
It's getting way out of hand...

I was going to write the SAME thing to you as I read this headline this morning, then I saw the link you sent me and thought you had probably beat me to the punch. Give me a break!!! What has he done????? TALKED!!! That is it. Given some high minded speeches. I think Saturday Night Live got it right.

Even THEY realize he has done NOTHING. I guess that is enough. YUCK!
