Obama wins Nobel Peace Prize for first 10 days

Something that has gone unnoticed by most commentators at this moment is that Barack Obama took office on 20 January of this year while candidates could be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize until…

1 February.

This means that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee gave this prize to Obama because of his wonderful first ten days in office.

Time to rename the prize to “The International award for the advancement of Marxist-Leninism world wide”.

One can only hope that this latest devaluation of the Nobel will serve to further inflate O’s ego and thereby make his narcissism even more readily apparent to the public.
