Even the Pro-Obama media is in shock.

OSLO – President Barack Obama won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday in a stunning decision designed to encourage his initiatives to reduce nuclear arms, ease tensions with the Muslim world and stress diplomacy and cooperation rather than unilateralism.

It apparently doesn’t take anything of substance to win… In fact, the nomination came just 12 days after he became President. Granted, he hasn’t done anything of substance since, but a nomination after 12 days in office? Who was canvassing the Nobel Committee… ACORN?

Nobel observers were shocked by the unexpected choice so early in the Obama presidency, which began less than two weeks before the Feb. 1 nomination deadline.

So I guess they were basing the decision on all the hopenchange messages he delivered on the campaign trail. Unless they’re applauding him for continuing Bush’s military policies in Iraq and Afghanistan… both of which he has continued.

The Nobel Committee lauded the change in global mood wrought by Obama’s calls for peace and cooperation but recognized initiatives that have yet to bear fruit: reducing the world stock of nuclear arms, easing American conflicts with Muslim nations and strengthening the U.S. role in combating climate change.

I guess they have a policy prohibiting the award going to a teleprompter. Maybe they can erect a monument to Obama to celebrate this occasion… I hear there’s room in the Olympic circle in Chicago now. Of course, looking at what a joke the Nobel “Peace” Prize really is, keep in mind that Yassar Arafat won it… and Ghandi didn’t.

It’s truly an amazing feat… a lousy economy, a global laughing stock, and now the Nobel Peace Prize… Barack Obama has actually become Jimmy Carter faster than Jimmy Carter.

By the way, here’s a list of Obama “accomplishments”…
