Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize

President_Official_Portrait_LowRes.jpg As the birthplace of all things awesomely fantastic about our country, Phillyist would like to extend a congratulations to President Obama for winning the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

The White House had no immediate comments this morning, perhaps because they awoke the President at 6:00 a.m. to tell him the news. Phillyist never has immediate comments at that hour, before our coffee, either. His official statement from the White House Rose Garden will be at 10:30 this morning. Obama is the fourth U.S. president to win this award.

As of 9:30 AM today, 70% of Philly.com's pollers thought President Obama did NOT deserve the prize.
