How soon will Time and Newsweek award him the "Man of the Year/Decade/Century" honors?
Come on now, just because he hasn't finished his first year let alone his first term shouldn't matter. Maybe while he's at it, he can apply for sainthood and be proclaimed the patron saint of hope and change?

That is a shoe in. You can place money on it. Whatever you have left.  |

Its the Nobel Committee trying to steer American Politics.
In a sense , they are committing international espionage .
Lets bomb them damned Norwegian Peacenick infiltrator!!
Please wait a week though so I can stock up on Cod Fish before the price goes up when we bomb the salted cod factories over there.
Anyway , I do honestly think they are trying to steer our international policy by making this award to him. Its not right!
He should have rejected the award. He would have garnered a lot of respect for that.

It's a shame the spent all the charisma points on the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, he didn't have any in his pocket when he went in front of the Olympics Committee....
Or maybe it was him coming that changed it... he never actually spoke to the peace prize folks and they still love him, but on the other hand he did speak to the Olympics folks and the US supposedly went from tied for first to dead last... |

What should surprise anyone about this. They give Gore the prize for something they told me about in grade school in the sixties. He makes a movie about the problem and that gets him a Nobel Prize. Just shows to go ya, is one more thing that can be bought.

There was a Vietnamese general(?) who rejected it in the 70's because he didn't feel Vietnam had achieved peace. He was jointly awarded it with Henry Kissenger. I think that's the only time it's been turned down. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
