But I'm thrilled he got it anyways and cannot wait to see how the GOP fearmongers (and those on WorldNetDaily) spin this ****.

You're not alone in shock. I think he's on the right path to getting one in the future if he follows through on his vision, but it blows my mind that he received it this early. Perhaps their intention was to keep him on track with his international promises. He has to be feeling much more pressure now.
Congrats to him!
Edit: The WH just announced that Obama will be donating the entire $1.4 million from the Nobel Prize to a charity.
