There's not probably anything I can say that hasn't been said about this. But Obama getting the Nobel Peace Prize for what he promised to do is asinine. What is even more asinine is that the other reason he got it is because he's not GW Bush!!!
No, really. Go check the quotes from the committee. He was nominated after only 10 days in office. What the FUCK had he had a chance to do by then except rearrange the furniture and figure out the White House phone system? NOTHING!!! It's based purely on the election promises of a man who is admittedly a far better speaker than GW ever could hope to be.
But what is worse is that it appears to be a purely politically motivated rebuke of GW Bush. In other words, "Hey Americans, elect presidents we Europeans like and agree with!" Okay, so the Euros didn't like GW. Whatever. He wasn't your fucking president you liberal elitist snobs. To give Obama an "attaboy!" for simply being more agreeable to your own beliefs is bullshit. Again, so what if you like Obama? He's not your president, Euro!
There were 204 other candidates. I'm willing to wager that probably about 204 of those have at least DONE something to encourage peace and understanding other than speak some pretty words.
