Quotation for Today, Saturday 10 October
October 10, 2009
“Think about it, it’s so post-modern: a leader can now win the peace prize for saying that he hopes to bring about peace at some point in the future. He doesn’t actually have to do it, he just has to have aspirations. Brilliant.”
Wall Street Journal deputy editor Iain Martin in an online post, about Obama winning Nobel Peace Prize- quoted by Washington Post

When I saw Obama had won the peace prize my immediate reaction was to check the date as I was certain that it was not 1 April.
The decision to award a Nobel peace prize to him has significantly devalued it’s worth.
