First Time as Tragedy, Second Time as Farce
- 10.09.2009 - 9:58 AMIf President Obama gets the Nobel Peace Prize less than one year into his presidency, what can he aspire to by the time he leaves office?
If fate allows it, the seat of St Peter will be vacant — and if not, we are sure the pope will graciously resign. Short of that, one can always count on the UN secretary-general’s post to be on offer.
History repeats itself. The first time as tragedy — Jimmy Carter? — the second time as a farce.
Congratulations, Mr. President! Never was something so prestigious bestowed on someone who did so little to deserve it.
