So why am I discussing the Nobel Peace Prize? Well, as you may have heard, it was announced today that U.S. President Barack Obama is the recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize.

Barack Obama was nominated sometime during the first 14 days of his presidency. Exactly what did he accomplish during those 14 days that was worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize?

Remember, Alfred Nobel’s will states that the Peace Prize will be award to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity among nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.

Barack Obama did not abolish or reduce our standing armies, he did not hold or promote any peace congresses, and he sure as heck didn’t do the most or the best work for fraternity among nations. He had only been president for a handful of days before the nominations were closed.

Just a thought for you to dwell on this weekend… You don't have to be able to pass a LSAT prep test to see through this one.
