Obama wins Nobel

Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts towards diplomacy and cooperation among people today:

"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the [Nobel] committee said.

The only problem is that's all Obama has done: "captured the world's attention." The last time I checked, the country he is in charge of is still in economic shambles, and not everyone can get jobs or basic healthcare. I was initially excited about his administration, but unfortunately, what we've gotten instead of a President is a celebrity, one who is more well known for joking about his skin color with David Letterman and making off-the record remarks about Kanye West and inspiring other celebrity's horrible art (see post below) than his accomplishments in office. I feel that this is just another shining layer to that celebrity, and an additional cover-up to the real problems this country faces.
