Default The Peace Prize Second Place Finishers...

Chinese Human Rights Activist Hu Jia - imprisoned for campaigning for
human rights in the PRC, not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.
Wei Jingsheng, who spent 17 years in Chinese prisons for urging
reforms of China's communist system. -- not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama. (Not to mention the symbolic value of awarding a
Chinese dissident on the 20th Anniversary of the Tianenmen Square
Massacre.)

Greg Mortenson, founder of the Central Asia Institute has built nearly
80 schools, especially for girls, in remote areas of northern Pakistan
and Afghanistan over the past 15 years - not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama.

Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, a philosophy professor in Jordan who risks
his life by advocating interfaith dialogue between Jews and Muslims,
also not as worthy as Barack Hussein Obama.

Afghan human rights activist Sima Samar. She currently leads the
Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission and serves as the U.N.
special envoy to Darfur and is apparently also not as worthy as Barack
Hussein Obama.

Barack Hussein Obama - he's worthy of the Peace Prize for doing
nothing.
