The Big O is in good company—Al Gore, Jimmy Carter.
Algore won the Peace Prize???
Hmmmm.... my memory must be getting fuzzy...
I could've sworn he was nominated in the Junk Science category.
Al Gore beat Irena Sendler but all she did was saved Jews from death by genocide.
Come 10:30, Obama could rock the political world and defuse the cult of personality charges by declining the prize. “While I am honored by my selection, it is a career-crowning achievement, while my career has barely begun. We have planted the seeds of peace and both hope and believe that they will flourish, but America does not exist in a vacuum. Therefore, while humbled, I must decline this honor until such time as the tree of peace bears fruit, and would be grateful to be considered if they do.”
This could happen in an alternative universe.
