Congrats, Barry.

Time for the annual process of the right wingers downplaying/trashing it.

"it's a sham"

"it's meaningless"

"the judges are just a bunch of libs"

It does strike me as strangely premature. Almost like it's more of a sigh of relief at the change in american posture than a recognition of actual accomplishment.

The "not Bush" award, eh?

Kinda, yeah.

Without question it's a "Thank God Bush is gone" award. It's ridiculous.

They'll give this thing to anybody, won't they.

Heads of former terrorist organizations have won the thing.

I'm sure that will be used as another "link to terrorism" for Obama next election.

@BarackObama: Humbled.

They'll give this thing to anybody, won't they.

I've won it three times. No big deal.

Rush Limbaugh says he is on the same side as the Taliban. http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200910090029

I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news.

They're coming out of the woodwork, aren't they?

Art Prize winner also a disappointment. I mean, it's a fine painting of waves...

NPP= Gimmiky

NPP= Gimmicky
:cogent:

Spelling = gimekey

my spellin= tenuous, at best.

Holy shit, the fuckin libs are even jumpin on BO winning this fakery. They are writting funnier or more funny things than the great Conservatives.

I haven't read such things, but I'd imagine they can go farther out on a limb since it won't be taken as just more bipartisan poop spewage.

I liked the one... ~= to "this is like awarding an Oscar to a young producer for movies that he might make" LMAO That was from some lefty too. No bullshit.

I think BO is donating the award money though. I think it will go to moveon.org, ACORN, etc.

Glenn Beck said the same thing earlier today.

Some people are acting like he nominated himself for this. If they want to give him the award, what is he supposed to do, refuse it?

If he did, I guarantee that the same talking heads that are ripping him for this would rip him for that, too.

Anything that puts America in a positive light internationally these days is a good thing to me.

The 'some peeps are acting like he nominated himself..." thing is something that I've said a couple times today. He didn't ask for it...at least I couldn't imagine that he did. This is more about the euro libs.

But clearly this is libs giving an award to a lib. BO's "we suck" tour didn't fall on deaf ears in the NPP board. They want to reward that kind of talk.

Thing is, that he is NOT doing great domestically, but he has the libs/socialists of the world just giddy. I'd be more worried about doing what I'm elected to do than pleasing the world. Those interests just aren't always compatible.

I wouldn't be surprised if he not only doesn't get a rise in approvals but it could even backfire a lil bit domestically.

canning the euro missile shield was a huge deal, i thought.

but the overrall shift away from cowboy diplomacy is probably the reason.

sorry tahoe, you cant expect the world to hate bush and turn around and not like the guy for not being bush.

I honestly don't think this means a whole helluva lot. I do think it totally degrades the award though...which has been happening for quite a while. Give it to peeps that have done something.

The way I'm taking this is that it's less about "thank you Barack Obama you're so awesome" than it is about "thank you America for trying to unfuck yourselves and the rest of the world."

I don't know if you are talking about Iraq, but if you are...its too bad the dems wouldn't have opposed the war, huh? Instead of waiting till things started getting tough and then wanted to run like pink panty wearing... oh nvm. :)

by "waiting till things started getting tough" you mean "finding out the administration lied to the world to justify the war their oil lobby bosses wanted".

Don't forget the defense contractors.

You're still spouting that lie? LMAO

The sad part is I think you believe it.

The whole world believed it. That's why we went to war.

The whole world believed the intel. Gore and Clinton believed it, Russian and Chinese believed their own intel that said he had them. He did have them at times.

The going got tough and y'all act like you never supported the war. It makes you feel better to think you were against it, I guess. Y'all politicized it beyond belief.

Believing the Intel is nothing to be ashamed of. Twisting the Intel on the other hand...

Keep fighting the good fight Tahoe. Drink those pineapple shakes and live in your own delusions.

^ And you keep denying the truth and rewriting history in your own mind.

1 of many clips of Gore on Bush not squashing the terrorists in Iraq and their WMDs.

Hello, of course the politicians believed it, that was how he got them to vote for it. Do I really need to argue your side as well as mine? We aren't arguing Dems vs Pubs here. The CIA knew the intel was bad, told ur hero it was bad, and what's his face bent to Bush's (really Cheney's and Rummy's) unrelenting focus of going to war in Iraq and pretended it wasn't all horseshit. He fucking resigned over it you half in the bag moron. The yellow cake, the tubes, Powell at the UN, that fuck they tortured so he would make up lies for them.

This matter has been settled for years, there's no need for you to keep burying your head.

^ gimmicky post.

Settled? lol Between you and MSNBC maybe.

Yeah it was only me and MSNBC that saw the director of the CIA resign because he helped lie about intelligence facts.
