Nobel Prize - Who Cares?

Ever since Yasser Arafat won, the rest of the world has realized that literally anyone could win this prize. Heck, even Hitler was nominated in 1939.

What's interesting is that Nobel's deadline for nominations is February 1st - or 11 days after Obama's inauguration. You tell me - did he do enough in 11 days to warrant this prize? Keep in mind that at the time he was nominated, Obama had an approval rating of +40. Today it hovers around -10.

Other than being pals with Bill Ayers and Jeremiah Wright, a couple of hatemongers, I'm not sure what other qualifications Obama has.
