Obama to receive Nobel Peace Prize for not being Bush

[Todd]

Or George W. Bush, for that matter.

Well, he does have the advantage of no longer being in power . . .

[Lilas Pastia]

He was nominated for the Prize in 2004, but didn't win... Putin was nominated in 2007 . Didn't win either.

So the Nobel committee paid Bush lip service? I find that funny.

I'm not quite understanding what you're saying, but the committee doesn't nominate, at least not as sole source; who nominated him, or for that sake Obama, I don't know. Strange Obama being nominated so soon after his election, whatever one thinks about the situation as of now.

Just a pun. Even my pun got the facts wrong!

(Bush) whom I would hold for a political extremist and dangerous revolutionary, if that title hadn't been claimed even more convincingly by his vice president, a true Leninist if ever there was one. 

The far right and the far left are the same thing: niiice!

[snyprrr]

Obama's gonna make Bush look like Carter.

♫ Oh, I come to pile on Obama, with a banjo on my knee . . . .

According to the Wall Street Journal, GM's Fritz Henderson should have received the nod, not Obama.

You had a point there.  Corporate America through their high-priced lobbyists rule the US.  I delete EVERY email I receive from the US Chamber of Commerce 100% unread ...

Actually it's the Nobel Police Prize:

"But one need not be a shrink to see that despite their more serious differences on domestic policy, Obama and Limbaugh essentially agree on foreign policy. They differ only in degree; not their basic philosophies."

That is because you do not live in the US.
