goes to - BARACK OBAMA!!!

After all, he was SHOCKED - SHOCKED to discover he won an award he
didn't deserve.

It turns out that the White House did know about it as long as a month
ago and didn't say anything - neither did the major media outlets who
also knew about it.

SHOCKED I TELL YOU - SHOCKED!!

Yeah - right.



More right-wing spin, although I'm not sure of the purpose other than them
flailing around for something to say. Certainly, it fits the pattern of "no"
and/or something negative to say.

"The news that Obama was awarded the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize came as a
surprise even to the White House. Press aides said they had heard from news
reports weeks ago that the president had been nominated for a Nobel Peace
Prize, but they do not believe Obama himself knew of his nomination."

As someone else said, anyone can be nominated. That doesn't make it likely.
