OSLO, NORWAY (WSAZ) - The President of the United States has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee made the announcement around 5:00 a.m. Friday morning.

The committee says President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

BBC website readers about 10 to 1 against. Mostly UK readers against--surprise, surprise.

Barry wins for being the perfect U.S. president in the view of the Europeans: A complete idiot who kow-tows to the EU elites, while devaluing the dollar to the point where the continental business interests can snap up most of the US business for 10 cents on the dollar.

I was wavering after Carter, they lost me at Gore.

So who earned a Nobel Prize but didn't get it because of this "win"?

Clinton requested "Miss Teenage America" instead.

Obama is not a complete idiot.
Biden is.

Obama is smart. He still could be a great president.

Not for Europe, but for us.

C'mon, Hoosier; by now even you realize we have elected a short-sighted, America-hating Marxist-Socialist and Statist. It's OK for you to work with us other regular Americans to make sure the New Messiah doesn't turn us into a banana republic or a European satellite, without straying from the Democrat principles you embrace. Come over to the Light Side.
God Bless Us, Every One.

They lost all credibility with Kissinger. It makes for good press though.
