And then the predictable reaction: "This is a European, liberal, anti-American conspiracy! Partisanship! Biased political statement! Waaaaaa!" And the American President, who technically lost a past election to the prize recipient, would have to congratulate the recipient on becoming the fifth (I think) American ever to get the prize, on being recognized by the world's most prestigious award organization for crusading against fixing something said President doesn't believe exists in the first place.

You can't make this up!
