Even the late night talk show hosts are cracking jokes about this.
I don't know where it originated from, but I received a joke today that says:
Breaking News!!
Obama to win the Heismann Trophy for watching a college football game!

A Nobel 'Peace' Prize, huh? Well it must have been for his visonary leadership, and a solid diplomatic policy... Wait a minute, he has only been in office several months, so that can't be it.
Maybe it was his tireless work as a U.S. Senator and... Nope, he was only in attendence less than a 180 days before launching his presidential campaign.
Okay, it must be for a combination of things, which include his world-spanning 'Apology Tour', his 'Stimulus' Law which piled debt onto future generations, and his threat to destroy 1/6th of the surviving U.S. economy by pandering to the Leeches with 'free' healthcare and other publicly-funded programs. (All of which will bring our nation further down into the mire; and of course, that meets with the approval of his fellow Marxists at the Norwegian Nobel Committee)
On the other hand:
Jimmy Carter
Yasser Arafat
Kofi Annan
Al Gore
Barack Obama (AKA- Barry Sotero)
...Yep, I'm seeing a pattern here

The first thing I said the morning I heard this was, "What exactly has he DONE?" I thought you had to DO something in order to get nominated, not just show promise to do something. Hmmm. . .We've had Carter, Gore and Obama all from the U.S. What do they all have in common? Oh yeah, they're all from the same party.
WW, I love that Heismann Trophy joke. I'm going to pass it along to my running partner. She'll love it! |

| Not only has he been in office less than one year, he had a pathetic record in Congress, but he was only just barely coronated, and I use the term accurately, for 11 days or so when nomination for the prize was done. Craziness is breaking out everywhere. I won't even mention health care! What a joke! |

Well, that actually would explain it. He rode into office on a wave of optimism in this country. Everyone thought he was going to do great things. In the last 9 months he really hasn't done much at all, but I DO understand now. If the nomination was last January/February he would have seemed poised to be a wonder. He probably wouldn't get nominated now, as he has been somewhat inept at getting anything done. I wonder when voting was. |

Winglo,
Voting is done in early October, so go figure how they came to actually vote for him. Check this link:http://nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/process.html |
