So - Obama's won a Nobel
I've just seen someone's enraged facebook update about this: he thought that the guy who paints Gazan donkeys was much more deserving of the prize, because he's done much more for the world.

What's the stupidest thing you've seen lately?

I'm as big a fan of gaffer taping animals as the next psychopath
but to say he's done more for the world than obama is retarded.

genuine question
what exactly has Obama done?

other than not being a Republican obviously. That's going a long way towards peace

He killed a fly, dude

No idea.
The citation is for his attempts at, y'know, peace, maaaaaaaan. But it seems a bit premature to me.


Maybe he's actually a superhero. Or Jebus. Or the Hidden Imam. That'd explain it.

Dude! He killed a fly.

that's what I was thinking
he's made some speeches. that doesn't seem like enough to me.

I'm not entirely familiar with how the Nobel prizes work. Is it a case of "we've got to give it someone...."

He chaired the largest nuclear disarmement meeting for decades last month,
open talks with North Korea and Iran on disarment/anti proliferation.

Well, he chaired the first session of a bout of talks.
They've not generated anything yet.

A bit premature if you ask me
Maybe in 25 years time when we see what his legacy is like Jimmy Carter, but within his first year? Nah. Sounds like an orchestrated PR stunt.

I mostly follow the news...
... and the last time i saw Obama, he was stood there with Gordon and that Froggy prime minister sending ultimatums to Iran about their nuclear shit that they are up to. It seemed obvious to me, that they were threatening war by the end of the year if they didnt let the inspectors back in.

Also, as far as I'm aware (and correct me if im wrong)
The shiz is still going down in Afghan.
Shiz is still going down in Iraq
The middle east is still bolloxed with Gaza and Israel and all that.
ETA is still blowing shit up in Spain and France.
IRA are probably still mooching around.

The world hasnt particularly changed since Obama got into power for the U.S.. did I miss something? Or did he have something to do with the Falklands and 'nam ending? Did he bring peace across Europe after WW2? I dunno. something didnt add up does it?

Ahh i get it now.. he's a brother.
