Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize

Why? What has the man accomplished? Ever? Astonishingly, the nominations closed after Obama had only been in office about two weeks. TWO WEEKS!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a bit.

Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize Great. Right up there with Arafat and Gore. Another classy move Nobel committee.

Since I've been born these are the Nobel Peace Prize recipients (my opinion in paraenthesis):
2009 - Barack Obama (ugh)
2008 - Martti Ahtisaari (No Opinion)
2007 - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Al Gore (Chronic Liar)
2006 - Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank (Good Guy)
2005 - International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei (ugh)
2004 - Wangari Maathai (ugh - greenie)
2003 - Shirin Ebadi (mixed)
2002 - Jimmy Carter (Double yuck)
2001 - United Nations, Kofi Annan (ugh)

1999 - Médecins Sans Frontières (decent org)
1998 - John Hume, David Trimble (no opinion)
1997 - International Campaign to Ban Landmines, Jody Williams
1996 - Carlos Filipe Ximenes Belo, José Ramos-Horta
1995 - Joseph Rotblat, Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs
1994 - Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin (Really Arafat?)

1986 - Elie Wiesel (good guy)
1985 - International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War
1984 - Desmond Tutu (ok guy)
1983 - Lech Walesa (was a good guy, now ok)
1982 - Alva Myrdal, Alfonso García Robles

1976 - Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan
1975 - Andrei Sakharov
1974 - Seán MacBride, Eisaku Sato
1973 - Henry Kissinger, Le Duc Tho (ugh)
1972 - The prize money for 1972 was allocated to the Main Fund
