Subj: Hey! Inger Marie! Thought I’d put a little bug in your ear . . .
It’s only been a couple of weeks since I took office, and I know that deadlines for nominations are coming up, and I’m wondering what the procedure is for nominating myself? My understanding from Jimmy Carter is that you can and should nominate yourself yearly, just to be thorough, but I’m having a hard time getting any sense from the Nobel website. My thinking is, by the time you actually give out the award in the fall, I’ll have accomplished a great deal. Iraq will be solved. Iran will be disarmed. Afghanistan will be quiet and on the road to peace. And centuries of racial tension will have vanished from the American landscape. Not bad work for the next few months, right?
So, just, you know, reaching out to you guys. Would love to circle back on this next week. Please use this e-mail address, if you don’t mind. Goes right to my BlackBerry without all of the pesky .gov prying eyes, you know?
Peace out!
(as it were)
Barack Obama
P.S.: I am also an African American. I don’t think it’s relevant, really, but it’s important for you to know that this is a great way to show just exactly how unracist you might be, if that’s important to you.
