US President Barack Obama sensationally won the Nobel Peace Prize last night less than a year after he took office with the jury hailing his "extraordinary" diplomatic efforts on the international stage.
The choice made Mr Obama the third sitting US president to win the peace prize, following Theodore Roosevelt in 1906 and Woodrow Wilson in 1919.
It shocked Nobel observers because the 48-year-old president took office less than two weeks before the February 1 nomination deadline.
We gotta go to the crappy country where I'm a hero!
I just this second found out about this. Gotta run 'cause there's a roofing truss party down the road, but I'm sure to have more to say about this when I learn more later.
Is this a joke? Doesn't seem to be.
