It's obviously ridiculous, but I'm honestly not surprised. This is just more of the Obama worship that's been going around were people are drooling over a guy who hasn't actually done anything. He was nominated for the peace prize when he was president for 12 days?? That must have been the one of the most amazing first 12 days of any US president. I somehow can't remember what he did to create world peace in his first 12 days though can you?
I think Michael Steele had a pretty good response:

This response was even better:

I've heard that they awarded the prize to Obama because of his potential. So if a guy gets a 4.5 GPA for a PhD in physics are they going to give him the nobel prize in physics because of his potential?
It's obviously a BS award anyways. I mean, come on... Yassir Arafat? LOL
