What the BLEEP has he done to earn this?

Nothing. Especially since the nominating was over at the beginning of February. TWO WEEKS in office?

From MSNBC:

Quote:
The stunning choice made Obama the third sitting U.S. president to win the Nobel Peace Prize and shocked Nobel observers because Obama took office less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline. Obama's name had been mentioned in speculation before the award but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the president.

Speculation had focused on Zimbabwe's Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, a Colombian senator and a Chinese dissident, along with an Afghan woman's rights activist.
Before people call me a hater. Before Spence spins this into a "prescient recognition of our dear leader" or something, I want to see Obama do well because if he is doing well, odds are our Country is doing well. But this is ludicrous.

He Has Not EARNED this yet! Not to say some day he won't but he hasn't EARNED it.

Seems to be a common thread with being given something before EARNING it.
