Someone else earn it for him.

He shouts we didn't build our businesses, someone else did - I wonder who he credits for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Let's all shed a tear for the business community and the billions in profits they' ve accummulated in profit the last 3 1/2 years.

Arafat wasn't a tip off to you? :p

I actually forgot that one...see how mundane and unimportant it has gotten?
The ones that I remember the most were Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa.

If he's like me, he probably credits the "wisdom" of the prize's committee.

I knew the Nobel prize system was going downhill when Al got one, that suspicion was confirmed when Barry got his.

I think Obama has done as well as anyone could have in the given economic climate. I would count myself as a supporter of the president. But I still cannot figure out how he won a Nobel Peace Prize.

I remember at the time that they said it was for a slap in the face for Bush but I don't remember why.

Yet doesn't Obama claim sole credit for the profits of General Motors?

Anyway, some people have had fun with this topic and created a website: You didn't build that.
