One day a fourth-grade teacher asked the children what their fathers did for a living. All the typical answers came up -- fireman, mechanic, businessman, salesman, doctor, lawyer, and so forth.
However, little Kevin K. was being uncharacteristically quiet, so when the teacher prodded him about his father, he finally replied, 'Okay...my father's an exotic dancer in a gay cabaret and takes off all his clothes in front of other men and they put money in his underwear. Sometimes, if the offer is really good, he will go home with some guy and stay with him all night for money.'
The teacher, obviously shaken by this statement, hurriedly set the other children to work on some exercises and then took little Kevin K. aside to ask him, 'Is that really true about your father?'
'No', the boy said, 'He actually works for the Democratic National Committee and helped get Barack Obama elected President last year, but I was too embarrassed to say that in front of the class.'

Sima Samar, women's rights activist in Afghanistan: "With dogged persistence and at great personal risk, she kept her schools and clinics open in Afghanistan even during the most repressive days of the Taliban regime, whose laws prohibited the education of girls past the age of eight. When the Taliban fell, Samar returned to Kabul and accepted the post of Minister for Women's Affairs."
Ingrid Betancourt: French-Colombian ex-hostage held for six years.
"Dr. Denis Mukwege: Doctor, founder and head of Panzi Hospital in Bukavu, Democratic Republic of Congo. He has dedicated his life to helping Congolese women and girls who are victims of gang rape and brutal sexual violence."
Handicap International and Cluster Munition Coalition: "These organizations are recognized for their consistently serious efforts to clean up cluster bombs, also known as land mines. Innocent civilians are regularly killed worldwide because the unseen bombs explode when stepped upon."
"Hu Jia, a human rights activist and an outspoken critic of the Chinese government, who was sentenced last year to a three-and-a-half-year prison term for 'inciting subversion of state power.'"
"Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging reforms of China's communist system. He now lives in the United States."
He won it 12 days after he was elected. What exactly did he accomplish?
Once again...DEAD ON CORRECT!
12 days...
He hasn't done anything in 9 months of note, let alone his first 12 days! Typical to the nutcase leftists, it's all about feelings and intentions. Actual RESULTS mean nothing.
So next election I INTEND and FEEL I should vote for mr obama, I will however vote for the next Republican, as it will be the smart thing to do. This should satisfy the dumocrats!

Mind you, wasn't that the nomination DEADLINE? Could it be that he was nominated before he even took office? I'm honestly not sure.
This doesn't shed any light on the length of time but it does lend some insight that the selection process is more than a couple months. I suspect that Obama's name was submitted even before the elections:
I personally believe that he is a good speaker and talks with that damn Martin Luther King style voice. People get all wrapped up in how he speaks and not what he speaks. I really have no clue what this man did to deserve thus award. I'm stumped.
Alfred Nobel = warmonger who invented dynamite and ran a swedish armament manufacturing company called Bofors.
The nobel peace prize is often given some of the most bloodthirsty humans on the planet, like Henry Kissinger, Gorbachev, Arafat, Carter, etc. etc. Hitler was in the running for it, but him winning would be way over the top obvious so obviously he didn't, otherwise I'm sure they would have loved to give it to him.

He won the 'thanks for not being Bush' award from the rest of the world. Yes we know, Bush and the neo-conservative imperalists in his government made the world feel less safe, less stable.
It's insulting to the other candidates imo. Obama hasn't done enough to deserve this, we still have the patriot act, 2 wars (Afghanistan escalating), warrantless wiretaps, the patriot act.
US citizens still have less freedom compared to 10 years ago. 911 really made our government more authoritarian, more ruthless. He has stated some good intentions, but hasn't delivered. I do find it funny though how the left is now saying Obama hasn't done anywhere near enough for the left wing to be happy and the right is saying he has done far too much.
