O Bel!

President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize

Seriously?!?!

Yesterday we noted (No O Bel?) that it was thought he had been nominated but it's unclear on what grounds.

He won for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

Really?

Seriously?

The AP notes it as "stunning choice" and "that it shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline".

So he won not for what he did before the nomination deadline, but afterward?

It has to be what Lewis Black told Wolf Blitzer...

Wolf, his nipples are bursting with hope. He's the first man and the first president in my life who is lactating hope. He continues to lactate hope.

Not only is the committee drinking the Flavor Aid, it sucks too and the scientific community is united in that fact.

Once again, the Nobel Peace Prize has no relevance and meaning!
