President Obama Getting Nobel Peace Prize

[Ruddigore]

Seriously, nobody on here probably ever gave a crap about who won and now, all of a sudden, we got the Nobel play by play going on. If nothing else, Obama attracted attention to the prize. In all reality, certain conservatives on here would never approve of the man winning anything, nothing, regardless of what he does. They want to see failure, plain and simple.

You're absolutely right, Gary! No one would have noticed if it hadn't been given to someone so visible.

It's also true that some conservatives will never approve of Obama or what he does regardless. The temptation for many people to wish the leaders of the opposite team a failure must be very great. I know someone who said, "I hope that Obama is a great president. I just don't expect it."

I would love to see President Obama, or to have seen President Bush and any future President for that matter, winning more prizes, such as the "lowering the debt" prize, and the "stop spending money we don't have" prize, "adding stiffer penalties for fraud, waste, and abuse in government with actual enforcement" prize, "holding politicians accountable for tax evasion" prize, "adding term limits to congress" prize, etc. I'd love to see him and our other leaders in government start winning more prizes like those...

Haha. I don't see our president winning any of those prizes, though one can certainly hope.
