After Obama won the prize for doing nothing and Gore won for lying, I concluded that the prize had become a joke.
Sorry, that's what happens when you lower the bar by giving a Nobel Peace Prize to someone like Barack Obama.
BEHOLD!
Even he agrees with you:
" Compared to some of the giants of history who've received this prize -- Schweitzer and King; Marshall and Mandela -- my accomplishments are slight." - Obama
"I cannot argue with those who find these men and women -- some known, some obscure to all but those they help -- to be far more deserving of this honor than I." - Obama
"we are at war, and I'm responsible for the deployment of thousands of young Americans to battle in a distant land." - O-BA-MA
"[Long speech about trying to be like other people who were good and were not Barack Obama]" - Barack Obama.
