"First Al Gore, then Obama, now this. Parody is redundant," tweeted Daniel Hannan, a euroskeptic European lawmaker - yes, such things exist - from Britain's Conservative Party. President Barack Obama won the peace prize in 2009, less than a year after he was elected, while Gore, a former U.S. vice president, was the 2007 recipient for his campaign to fight climate change.

Nigel Farage, head of the U.K. Independence Party - which wants Britain to withdraw from the union - called Friday's peace prize "an absolute disgrace."

"Haven't they had their eyes open?" he said, arguing that Europe was facing "increasing violence and division," with mass protests from Madrid to Athens over tax hikes and job cuts and growing resentment of Germany, the union's rich and powerful economic anchor.

Nigel Farage is correct. I would call it blasphemy, however, Mr. Obama won it a couple of years ago with the accelerator mashed all the way down bomb the hell outta me street. Maybe it shoud be Obomba.
