Obama - Page 24

It's been suggested that they gave him the peace prize so that he'll feel pressured to not send more troops to Afghanistan.

I don't know what he did within the 2 weeks. Who knows maybe they gave it to him on just what he has espouses to do rather than what he's done.

He was nominated within two weeks of taking office. The decision was not made based on what he did up to that nomination deadline (not that this adds tons to the list of solid foreign policy accomplishments, but it's more substantial than "recovered from inaugural party hangovers.")

And considering how loose the nomination process is it wouldn't surprise me to learn that he'd been nominated last year too.

I'm not sure why, Steele's letter strikes me sort of funny. The subject line is "Nobel Peace Prize for Awesomness" which would be something my 19 year old would espouse. Not only that, the flights of fancy I'm having about a Nobel Prize for Awesomeness are truly, well, awesome. I wish to nominate Mark Loretta.

I liked this part too:

Quote:

Deborah, the Democrats and their international leftist allies want America made subservient to the agenda of global redistribution and control. And truly patriotic Americans like you and our Republican Party are the only thing standing in their way.

He even spelled my name right.

Hahaha, well with only 20% of Americans identifying as Republicans, get set to be mowed down as road kill as you stand in the way of the rest of us.

Global redistribution?!?

*crosses fingers*

Please, oh please, send California to Italy!

I'm reading some reactions posted by AP

This one is classy:

Quote:

"Under any circumstance an appropriate response is to say congratulations." — Gov. Tim Pawlenty, R-Minn.

It's sad that I had to look and was surprised it was by a Republican. I don't know anything about his politics but it's a small glimmer that not all Republican politicians have lost their manners and gone off the deep end.

He likes to be called "T-Paw". No lie.

Pawlenty is not bound by blind partisanship. he has even appeared on Rachel Maddow's show once or twice.

He's a Republican, but a Minnesota one so not too far off to the right.

But you'll get a chance soon to learn about him as shortly after next year's midterm election he'll begin running for president.

That explains the classy remark.
