Barack Obama (Biography - On the Lighter Side)
2012-12-09
In 2009, President Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace prize for numerous accomplishments, which may have included:
A fifth-place award in the 7th-grade spelling bee
No tardies during the school year of 1970, and
Winning the Boy Scout Pine-Car Derby 3 years straight.

Obama also received a red poppy pin for contributing to the war in Afghanistan and a giant stuffed Tasmanian Devil for sinking 3 baskets at the Maryland state fair. There's no stopping this man.

#9  I said he was a Manchurian Candidate back in 2008 when he started running the first time, John.

We're definitely right about that. Guess we'll find out which "Manchuria" now. >:-(

#8  No he definitely spent his youth in Keyna. I managed to verify that...

#7  Ditto B. His entire biography and history was a made up fiction anyway so who really knows anything about Champ. I'm thinking he is more like the Manchurian Candidate.

#4  "Every pinewood derby car that ever won a race was a "team project""

And they required sharp Exacto (or other) carving knives.

The horror!

#3  Who made the car for him? Every pinewood derby car that ever won a race was a "team project" (i.e. the dad built it). And it takes math.
