Well Al Gore won it for god knows what.
Its a shame as a kid - I thought these awards were a real honour, now they are a joke, perhaps they always were.
Well a lot of the prizes were actually nobel, but... to get a price for beeiing in office 11 days
that just has to be politics, no kidding !
You gotta love Politics where everything and anything is about perception and talk talk talk.
Who needs to invent the perpetual motion machine ?? It allready bloody exists... Civil Cervents perfected it decades ago
As for Obama donating the money, bah more perception management...
Check out how much the guy makes per year just for beeing the president of the US of A, then see how much he is going to make for beeing "a nobel price winner"

Possibly twice or three times over? seeing as he got it now, he is bound to get it again when he might actually be able to lay stake or claim to it

Doing converences and what not... Perception management my friends... Political nonsence
