What was the Nobel committee thinking? The deadline for the nominations was Feb. 1, so Barry was in office for what, 10 days give or take. What did they think he had done or promise to do? He spent 147 days in the Senate and voted “present” about a dozen times (many more as an IL State Senator), he spent most of 2007 and all of 2008 until election day campaigning.
Oh wait, the prize must be for work that he did in the summer... the beer summit at the White House where he accused a white police officer of racism because he arrested a beligerent black man who was acting suspicious, who also happened to be a FOB (friend of Barry). Then he had to invite both of them to the WH because he was wrong for the accusation and it seemed like the thing to do. And, he made Europe less safe by taking down the missile defense shield in Poland. Yeah, that is it.

The Nobel Committee is busy picking out nice dresses for Date Night.
