Barack Obama: Nobel Laureate??

Not to be all Hannity, but isn't this just crazy? The prize stipulates that it should "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses." He hasn't done anything and he's overseeing 2 wars.

Even the committee said he hadn't accomplished anything but had rather given the award "to promote what he stands for and the positive processes that have started now." Somewhere Fred Armisen is scrambling to update his sketch tomorrow.

I think he'd better come up with an elegant way of declining, that could be a truly pimp move and the only spin to prevent the do-nothing meme from sticking.

    I'm with you, the man is not Jesus (yet).

    Polite decline would be the move, only thing pimper than getting a Nobel is declining one.

    This is absolutely ridiculous.

    Declining a nobel peace prize is awkward, especially for a sitting president. Accepting is a greater show of humility than declining in this case.
