oh my actual god.

Obama's been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

DUDE.

DUDE.

!!!!!*\o/*!!!!!

(Also, yes, it is early. This is more of a show of good faith and belief that Obama can and will see his initial efforts (for de-nuclearization and his efforts at multi-lateral diplomacy which is not our usual pattern to say the least) through, and that the WORLD is going to hold him to that. And that? Is a huge fucking deal considering our standing in the world even a year ago. It's more of a "Yes, this, finally, you should really keep doing that" from the rest of the world.)

AND BASICALLY, GOBAMA.

Now I've got to get back to work. This news cycle should be ...interesting.

Hee! I have to say, my first reaction was WHAT. And then !!. And then *\o/*! Also, I wonder what Mr. President's initial reaction was, behind closed doors. *g*

(Of course at work everybody is like "WTF WHAT HE HASN'T EVEN DONE ANYTHING YET!" and I am already tired of saying "um, if the peace prize were only given to people who had actually achieved world peace, there would only be ONE! Or zero, as that hasn't happened yet." But whatevs, I am still happy for him.)
