Wow. Just. Wow... Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize? Some of you may be thinking,
"It's about fucking time!" While others, me included, are thinking, "Huh??"
Don't get me wrong, Obama is doing a great job so far in the White House. Doing Nothing. Think about it - Health care, the War in Afghanistan, Recession and domestic policies. What has he really done?

Jeff:
Well, the reason for giving Obama the prize as I heard on the news, was that so far he's not doing a BAD job of dealing with foreign affairs (it is given to him for his handlin of foreign affairs), and to give hope to the world, some inspiration that someone, at least someone is doing something for them; so that the rest of the world can follow Obama in stepping up and facing the world. Quite frankly, I don't feel he deserves it either, but if it serves its purpose then alright.
But also, what does it tell the world? Dishing out Nobel Peace Prizes like that? I mean you look at all the other winners, like Martin Luther King Jr. for example, can Obama's actions really even compare to that in any aspect? I don't think so.

Matt: I don't actually have anything decent to say about this because I just heard about this when Jeff and Ryan were discussing it here. But from what I understand, many people think that Obama recieved the award for doing nothing. Just goes to show how manly he is.
