Rio gets the 2016 Olympics.

Funny because Chicago was first out the the MSM made such a big deal of Obama making a big deal out of it.

Yeah. I just heard that on the morning news on the way in to work.

I know Europe has a love fest, but my first reaction was "I wonder what the middle east thinks of this?"

Basically, it sounds like "America will listen to Europe again - have a prize!" more than anything.

Wait, I thought they only gave that prize to terrorists.

Best comment so far:

There also has to be some significance to the fact that Obama wins the prize on the day that the US bombs the freaking moon.

Well, Obama sure has united and brought peace to our country.

If it makes you feel better, the deadline for nominates was two weeks after he took office. So whomever nominated him had to do so before it was revealed that he's all talk and no action.

Well, I liked the Fark headline that Obama has now been linked to Yassar Arafat.

So before he even did anything, he was nominated? wtf?

Well, at least then he had a higher approval rating than he has now, before everything he touched failed. Like what he has going now.

Obama just made a speech about it. I was expecting the Presidential version of JJ Walker's "DY-NO-MITE!" (which is a Nobel Prize joke... get it?), but I guess he was sufficiently humble. He said he didn't feel he deserved it, but.... he pretty much said it was a mandate from the rest of the world about his direction for America, or something.

Anyway, his acceptance could have been worse. I think it would have been classier for him to decline it completely.

What you talking about Alice. Don't you realize he is the new JFK.

Al Gore has a Nobel prize for his scam...oh, I mean his fight against the evil man-made global warming (that most scientists think is bullshit).

So why should Obama getting a Nobel peace prize for doing nothing at all, aside from giving lip service, be a shock?

Goddamnit. I should've just put a bottle by my bed last night & started drinking first thing this morning/afternoon/whatever.

Fucking hell.

From a facebook friend:

it is officially harder to get an honorary degree from Arizona State than a Nobel Peace prize. Congratulations to the President of the United States.

I wanted to respond: "At least one of those two is still worth something"

From gizmodo:

Researcher Mohd Abubakr says that his circular periodic table is better than Mendeleev's. I'd have given him the Nobel in chemistry—if Obama hadn't got it first for mixing himself a whiskey with Red Bull onboard Air Force One.
