Question: Why Didn’t Obama Win The Nobel Prize For Literature?
Answer: He wrote 2 books
Miss America was robbed. She was for world peace way before Obama was for it.
Despite bombing the moon, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize today.
Obama was also awarded the Nobel prize in chemistry. “He’s just got great chemistry,” says Nobel Committee.
Obama is becoming Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter became Jimmy Carter.
Oh and Ladbrokes betting for the Economics prize...
Gordon Brown 50/1

Brilliant :rotfl:'Just think for a moment what a prospect that is. A single market without barriers visible or invisible giving you direct and unhindered access to the purchasing power of over 300 million of the worlds wealthiest and most prosperous people' Margaret Thatcher0 -

I am delighted he won it. Obama is an extra-ordinary man who may well change the face off international politics for generations to come. His is the politics of inclusion rather than exclusion and it is a welcome and much needed sea change.

Dear me wageslave.
I am quite disappointed in you. I thought you knew better.

I agree with Wageslave, I think Obama is ace. I agree with his policies and he does actually seem like a decent human being.
I think giving him the Nobel Prize is really odd, but it couldn't really care less who gets a nobel prize. I think Mewbie won one in 2008 for his service to inter-board relations through the medium of humour.0 -
The Nobel Peace Prize was given to Desmond Tutu in 1984 to encourage an end of apartheid in South Africa. It has been given to Obama to promote his vision of peaceful co-existance with Islam.Dear me wageslave.

Obama is a black man elected to power a predominantly white country. He is a product of a mixed race marriage when they were still illegal in many states in US at the time of his birth. He is an anti- war proponent elected by a country at war. He is one of the very few American presidents who hasn't come from a background of privilege or political power.
It is easy to be cynical about Obama and the few men like him but he is our best hope for peace in the Middle East. His speech in Cairo did more to make the west safe against terrorist attack than any other measure taken since 9/11.
Best of all he isn't George Bush
