Where did all the Nobel Peace Prize defenders go?
Is it finally obvious what bullshit it was to award this president the Peace Prize? Is it obvious yet that everyone who thought it was bullshit wasn't a trolling freep?

Sorry to interrupt all the hero-worshipping--and feel free to send your kids to the front if you want--but there now can be no doubt that the best choice in the last election wasn't nearly as progressive as his voting record and rhetoric.

1. I'm still here and I'm still defending.
I just haven't seen anything approaching a coherent argument that requires a response. This doesn't really qualify either. You may now continue your monochromatic view of the world.

2. Freepers like to describe Obama supporters as hero-worshippers
so do you. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck........

4. The political spectrum is not a straight line. It curves, and
the two ends overlap.

7. See into the future? Bullshit.
All they had to do was read a policy statement.

8. Absolutely!
We all know how sacrosanct policy statements are. I sure hope today's job summit can build on the momentum and exemplary work done by George W. Bush's economic summit at Waco! There's just a whole bunch of bullshit! For everyone!

I'm starting to think you can't agree with people anymore.

11. He won the award for his efforts at nuclear disarmament
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 11:00 AM by bananas
See http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2009/10/09/nobel-committee-member-nuclear-disarmament-efforts-won-obama-the-prize
“There is a criticism about the war in Afghanistan, and I understand that,” said Valle in a telephone interview. “But this was primarily an award on his work on and commitment to nuclear disarmament”
