I don't give a Sh&t to be completely honest with you. I just think it's great how much it has gotten your panties in a bunch.
It hasn't gotten in my panties, I'm not the least bit surprised. I just wondered what did he accomplish to deserve it? And by the way, you're using the DNC's talking point for today. :DQuote:

So... what you seem to be saying is that we're right, but you just want to get our goats.Quote:

ET Whoever wins the NPP has absolutely no effect on my life. Say they would have given it to Richard Steele I wouldn't even post anything about how he doesn't deserve it or anything. It is petty and for the right to come out and blast it just shows how petty the right is.
Et to be fair to me and speech a few of our post are about imaginary football teams we "own"
Even the MSM seems skeptical... the Washington Post:
The NY Times (via AARP as they've already scrubbed this portion from their original article) :Quote:
Obama is the third sitting U.S. president -- and the first in 90 years -- to win the coveted peace prize. His predecessors won during their second White House terms, however, and after significant diplomatic achievements. Woodrow Wilson was awarded the prize in 1919, after helping to found the League of Nations and shaping the Treaty of Versailles; and Theodore Roosevelt was the recipient in 1906 for his work to negotiate an end to the Russo-Japanese war.
In contrast, Obama is struggling with two wars -- weighing whether to increase the number of U.S. troops fighting to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan and overseeing the withdrawal of American combat troops from Iraq. He is mired in domestic struggles over health-care reform and economic recovery efforts, and searching for ways to build momentum to restart Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and to assemble an international effort to stop Iran's nuclear program.
In choosing Obama from among 205 nominees, the committee appeared to be continuing its rebuke of the Bush administration's go-it-alone approach to world bodies and alliances, including its decision to go to war in Iraq without U.N. approval.
Even Matt Lauer said, “We’re less than a year into the first term of this president and there are no -- I'm not trying to be, you know, rude here -- no major foreign policy achievements, to date. So why did he win?”Quote:
Reporters at a news conference to announce the prize pressed the committee’s chairman, Thorbjorn Jagland, to explain the reasons Mr. Obama had prevailed over other candidates who included human rights activists in China and Afghanistan and political figures in Africa.
Specifically, reporters asked whether Mr. Obama might not become mired in a war in Afghanistan as Lyndon B. Johnson was in Vietnam.
But the committee said it wanted to enhance Mr. Obama’s diplomatic efforts so far rather than anticipate events in the future.
He won because he's not Bush was their assessment.
I'm just relaying the news. :DQuote:

What makes you so sure that I wouldn't question it?
But this is such an OBVIOUS farce that even those who support Obama are wondering how he won it. Even Obama didn't expect to win it, because HE KNOWS HE HASN'T EARNED IT.

I never said you wouldn't. But for people to come out and blast it is pointless. Who cares it doesn't change anyone life in this country. We have 6 pages of posts on such a non issue. The funny thing is you can't even stop yourself from posting. You are taking it seriously while I am sitting here laughing my @$$ off at you.
True... but NK's have not.Quote:

On one hand NK claims that he's "just reporting the story" and "doesn't really care", and yet on the other hand, he points to the number of posts that others have as "proof" that we have our "panties in a knot"... all the while having more posts on the topic than anyone else.
Elliot
LOL! This is fun!
And yet you continue to post too. You must care to SOME degree, otherwise you wouldn't still be posting.Quote:

Do you guys think Massa will recover well enough to be competitive?
I hate to be painfully obvious again but this is a "discussion" board and this is the "current event" of the day. You're surprised people are posting?
I hear he packs quite a punchQuote:
Now, will Braylon Edwards be the man
