SV: Nobels fredspris.
Hela världen skrattar. Mitch Albom, krönikör på Detroit Free Press, tycker att hela amerikanska folket förtjänar priset kollektivt:
"In fact, the five Norwegian committee members must have viewed Bush as such a warmongering, divisive force, that Obama got 100 points just for moving in when Bush moved out.
And, not to pat our own backs, but who was responsible for that? We were. The American people. OK, so not everyone voted for Obama, but we're all in this together. Majority rules, everyone shares. Anyhow, who's going to admit they voted against Obama today, when it means a nice little Nobel Prize to put in the basement, next to the signed Barry Sanders jersey?
Congratulations, fellow planet-savers.
'We want to embrace the message that he stands for,' Jagland declared. Right. So did we. Of course, until this past week, we didn't know you could get a Nobel Prize for that, or we might have voted earlier."
