He was nominated for the Nobel 10 or 11 days after taking office, and in case anyone hasn't been keeping track, he hasn't accomplished jack shit yet.

- Health care reform: nothing concrete.
- Closing Gitmo: In progress
- Bagram Air Base: Still open for business!
- Education: No Child Left Behind is still in effect, so still fucked.
- Iraq: Still there.
- Afganistan: totally fucked unless we send more troops
- Fight against Al-Qaeda: Potentially about to cause an international incident with Pakistan
- Iran: Still hates us.
- Israel/Palestine: ...I'm not even going to touch this one.
- Corrupt Banks: A-OKAY!

If he gets even half of these accomplished, I've got no problem with it.

But if the reason he won this award is because he wasn't George W. Bush, then the award should go to every American who isn't George W. Bush, including Bush's wife and daughters.

The gracious thing would be a "We're not worthy!" and refuse the award, but he's already planning on donating the money to charity.

The Nobel Peace Prize just lost whatever credibility it had left.
