Nobel for Prez

I think everybody knew our president, Barack Obama won the Noble Peace Prize already.
I think the reason that he won the prize is because he tried hard to keep the middle east countries out of war.

"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."
