Obama Wins the Nobel Peace Prize

As some of you might know, in 2009 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to America’s 44^th president Barack Obama. He now joins a long list of the world’s greatest contributors to the humanitarian welfare of our planet. Is this award well deserved you may ask? Let’s see…Martin Luther King Jr. led hundreds of discriminated-against African Americans in marches against abuse resorting only to peaceful singing when they got beaten down… he also cleverly crafted what could be considered the most famous speech in the world (although hardly anyone knows the words past “I have a dream…), and finally got shot in the head for his efforts. Gandhi marched for miles convincing a population of people who considered eating a sacred act only second to reaching Nirvana to starve themselves, eventually driving the British out of his country…and he wasn’t afraid to do it all while wearing a diaper. He too eventually got shot in the head.

While Gandhi didn’t receive a Nobel Peace prize for his efforts, he certainly deserved it much more than Obama. But let’s not judge the President of the Free Nation so quickly, after all he has done his fair share for mankind. For example he prevented the likes of Hilary Clinton and Sarah Palin from entering the white house, thus relieving the entire world of an exaggerating egotistical pathological liar with dictator tendencies and an extremely confused little girl who really didn’t know where she was or what she was doing. Obama also took Oprah along on his presidential campaign finally proving to the world that Oprah really did have more power than the President of the United States. Finally, Obama, in a slightly less memorable speech than King Jr’s, tells the world that he wants ….wait for it….peace in the Middle East.

I too want “peace in the Middle East”. Now where can I pick up my Nobel Peace Prize?
