Wow.

US President Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize.

Know hope.

Translation:

World [via 5 Norwegians] to Obama: We ♥ U! Keep up the good work!
Obama's likely response: I love you too, world. Stay classy.

*g*

As much as I like Obama... what exactly has he done to deserve a Nobel? Then again, at least it makes more sense than when George W. Bush was considered for the award...

*blinks* I'd not heard that.

I guess what Obama's done is mostly just to change the whole tone of international diplomacy. Which is nice.

IIRC, Bush was on the Nobel consideration list in 2002 (the same year that Jimmy Carter won the award, I think) for his efforts in fighting terrorism... o_0
