      Yeah, I guess decades of hard work and international recognition just can't beat a stump speech or two.

    Well if Obama had won the Economics and Peace prizes there might have been a fuss. lol

    Actually the story here is the first Woman to win the Nobel Economics prize. Elinor Ostrom.

    "I think we've already entered a new era and we recognize that women have the capabilities of doing great scientific work and yes, I appreciate that this is an honour to be the first woman -- but I won't be the last,"

      Come on. We all know what Obama is not is the real story. It's all Obama all the time on the right. Recognizing actual accomplishments like Ostrom's would interrupt the hate fest.

    Good point...The Nobel morons should have also given the economics prize to Obama...Wasn't Bernie Madeoff a nominee for the Nobel Economics Prize ?
