Obama or Berlusconi should have won the Nobel Peace Prize? You decide!

Can you believe it? President Obama has scooped up the Nobel Peace Prize! Wow, the guy has been President of the USA for only nine months and he has already grasped a prize that many others have spent a lifetime to achieve.

I mean, think about it, Al Gore, for example. The poor chap had to come up with a full 94 minutes documentary packed with convenient lies and mistakes to get the prize, although I must admit the accusations to George W. Bush helped him quite a bit in getting the prize.

Then think about Yasser Arafat, a terrorist leader, who in order to scoop up the prize had to pretend to care and cry of rage about the Israeli people blown apart (by his men) and, mind you, no onions were left on the shelf in his local supermarket, I can tell you. So then, after such incredible performances, how could Obama get the prize so quickly?

Well, it seems like that he won the prize because, first of all, he is not George W Bush, and this is a great achievement.

He is also sending more troops to Afghanistan. No, that is not a real peaceful thing to do, I admit, but because he is not George W Bush we’ll let him off the hook. You never know, instead of bullets the US soldiers will be firing flowers!

Furthermore, he has politely asked the Iranian leader, Ahmadinejad, to stop being a bully and to get rid of his nuclear toys soon. It seems like the Iranian Big Boss does not give much of a monkey about it but, hey, that is irrelevant!

Then, President Obama is also working to reduce the impact of global warming, taxing naughty businesses lots of money to go green and spending billions of US taxpayers’ dollars in order to stop the world getting hotter and hotter. Let’s really hope that global warming is a real thing, otherwise all the money and energy will be wasted and that would be a shame.

Finally, President Obama is giving hope to the world because he is a nice, cool chap and he can talk, and now that I am saying this, why all of you are suddenly thinking of Tony Blair?

Anyway, all of this is great stuff, and one day President Obama will be walking on water scooping up the Second Coming Prize, but in my personal opinion another man should have won the Nobel Peace Prize instead, and his name is….

...Silvio Berlusconi.


“Naah! Who are you kidding?” You must be thinking, but, hell, give peace a chance and I will try to explain.

Now, aren’t they all, the Peace loving people of the planet, always telling you to make Love Not War? Aren’t they? Well, Mr Berlusconi has been doing Love for quite some time and with many women, some rather hot, I must say, so respect for the man and we all know Love is the answer.
Secondly, he is not George W Bush and this is a great achievement too.

Berlusconi is also trying to make a peace deal with the magistrates in Italy, he keeps saying to them: “I don’t want anything to do with you, let’s be friends”, but they keep bullying him.

Well, if I have not done enough to convince you, and you still think Berlusconi’s nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize is ridiculous, I hope that you consider Obama’s victory ridiculous just the same.

I personally think the Nobel Peace Prize is nothing but an expensive and useless political circus, and it stinks.

One last thought, before I go betting on President Obama winning the next Miss World title… the President-Obama-Nobel-Peace-Prize-winner, is he or is he not the same President Obama that refused to meet the Dalai Lama? I mean: one Nobel Peace Prize winner that refuses to meet another Nobel Peace Prize winner!

That is not very peaceful, is it?

Gordon Brown ought to have been in with a chance as, just like the Superheroes in the DC Comics, he's the one who has saved the world... errr, I mean global Kapitalism.

But it's a sad fact of life that good memories are as short in supply in politics as they appear to be in the media and consequently, everyone seems to have forgotten that it was Gordon who saved the world last Christmas.

But personally, I like Silvio Berlusconi so I think he should have got it. Not only did he produce my favourite film, "Mediterraneo", but for a politician he's also a funny guy, he says some funny things and as he said himself last week “he was the most persecuted man in history”. So I reckon he deserves it. And as a big media guy if he could fix it to bring back “Jeux Sans Frontieres” to our TV screens across Europe, I would vote for him next time. Hey, and I'm not even Italian! And if he was on Twitter, then I would follow him for sure.
