President Barack Obama has been named the 2009 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and winner of baseball's National and American League Cy Young Awards.

[The Great RJ]

Certainly Obama must be in the running for the Heisman trophy.

[LottieDah]

“Don’t forget the Heisman.”

and the Pulitzer, the Peabody, the Caldicott Medal, the Grammy, Emmy, Oscar, Best in Show at Westminster, the U.S. Open, Wimbelton, and the Pillsbury Bake Off. I hear he is a shoe in for Miss America too.

Cy Young: Perfect. If anyone can, please post the picture of our first messiah pitching in his mom jeans.

[B Knotts]

How about the Heisman Trophy?

[NMEwithin]

He deserves a Super Bowl ring too...why not right?

I liked this comment by Tim Marshall, too.

"next year let's give it to Miss World. Every year Miss World comes on and says I want world peace and the world free of nuclear weapons"

“...The Nobel prize doesn’t mean Jack s*** since they awarded it to Gore....”

You missed Arafat and Carter.

THESE awards are fast becoming a SAD JOKE.

They have successfully diminished any honor or truth to those that receive them. You might as well give my cat the Noble Peace Price and the other obscure award.

Obama is a total FAILURE. I can't rejoice over that FACT.

[Prov3456]

Woo-Hoo! Great job, Bob!

I wonder if this award will result in the complete discrediting of the Nobel Prize Committee when the s*#t hits the fan.

Just askin'....

[nmh]

#9, Isn’t that the TRUTH!

[verga]

You all have forgotten the Edgar for the horror story this is becoming.

[GOPJ]

Well, Jimmah Carter won... and Yasser Arafat - guess h e’s in “good company”...

[equalitybeforethelaw]

Is he going to Disneyworld?

Sky’s foreign affairs editor Tim Marshall said: “There will be people who will say this is a marvellous, inspired, award.

“But next year let’s give it to Miss World. Every year Miss World comes on and says I want world peace and the world free of nuclear weapons. It’s a hope, an aspiration.

“The deadline for nominations for the peace prize was February 1, so someone nominated the President of America for his achievements 11 days into his presidency.

“This is a Nobel Peace Prize for not being George Bush. And I think it has been devalued.”

[GOPJ]

He deserves a Super Bowl ring too...why not right?

I agree - he's done as much for football as he has for peace.

[Migraine]

He also shot 19 under par, THE FIRST TIME HE EVER PLAYED GOLF (Besting Kim Jung Il by one stroke).

You were going fine until right there. Kim has bested baraq by at least two strokes (and that's just the ones we know about). But we can always hope.

[Recon Dad]

I’ve got a completely new take on Zero getting the Nobel.......IT’S BUSH’S FAULT!!!

[alecqss]

The nominations deadline occurred less than two weeks after Obama was inaugurated! He merited the Nobel Prize for serving eleven days. Please tell me what he did during that time frame?

Remember what he considers a success in the employment arena? Jobs saved. All those who employed right now - your jobs were saved by Obama.

So, that's it. It could have been worse. No Apocalypse, the world has not ended - it's a stunning success of Obama.

And the Kennedy Center award which Obama awarded to himself.

Especially noting he believes there is no better recipient than himself.
