When did the Nobel people put you on their rules committee ?

Congrats, what did you do to earn that ?

Real simple; I told them you were an asshole.

You should read the actual words of the Norwegian Nobel Committee:

The statement is worth reproducing he

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2009

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has decided that the Nobel Peace Prize for
2009 is to be awarded to President Barack Obama for his extraordinary
efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between
peoples. The Committee has attached special importance to Obama's vision
of and work for a world without nuclear weapons.

Obama has as President created a new climate in international politics.
Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on
the role that the United Nations and other international institutions
can play. Dialogue and negotiations are preferred as instruments for
resolving even the most difficult international conflicts. The vision of
a world free from nuclear arms has powerfully stimulated disarmament and
arms control negotiations. Thanks to Obama's initiative, the USA is now
playing a more constructive role in meeting the great climatic
challenges the world is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to
be strengthened.

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. His
diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world
must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the
majority of the world's population.

For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate
precisely that international policy and those attitudes for which Obama
is now the world's leading spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's
appeal that "Now is the time for all of us to take our share of
responsibility for a global response to global challenges."
