I guess I’m more than a little dense, but I don’t get the joke. What is the significance of Obozo being “the ninth caller”?

Some radio stations run contests in which they award a prize to the Nth person to call the station. Winning requires no special knowledge or skill other than the ability to use a telephone.

Ahh, now I see said the blind man.

So if that's the criterion for winning a Nobel Prize Obozo is well qualified after all, since he's no doubt quite adept at using the Oval Office phone. However, if any degree of statesmanship is involved in winning that prize he was exceptionally fortunate to have been nominated in the first place.

My relatives in Texas would probably say that Obozo is "all hat and no cattle", but I doubt that old saw would have any meaning to Norwegian socialists who apparently believe that peace can be kept best by meekly submitting to any and all despots and nations that threaten war if not given their demands.
