WTF - Obama wins the Peace Prize
The "hard" Nobel Prizes are awarded by Sweden and represent people who have done great work in their field. The Peace Prize is awarded by Norway and recently, has been a big finger in the eye to thinking people all over the world. Yasser Arafat? Jimmy Carter? Al Gore? Mohamed ElBaradei? Kofi Annan?
Now
Barack Hussein Obama has won. Need I say more?
Back in the 1960's and 70's the prize really used to mean something. We had winners like:
1971 - Willy Brandt
1970 - Norman Borlaug
1969 - International Labour Organization
1964 - Martin Luther King Jr.
1963 - International Committee of the Red Cross, League of Red Cross Societies
1962 - Linus Pauling
1961 - Dag Hammarskjöld
We also had years when the Prize was not awarded.
Now, they seem to pick the most egregious Marxist out there and give them the Golden Ticket to Stockholm.
What is even more amazing is that the deadline for nomination is in February. He was in office for less than one month at that time...
