Although I don't necessarily think Obama deserves the peace prize, I'm certainly not criticizing him for it; the decision had nothing to do with him. I do find it amusing that the far Left and the Right are equally outraged about it, along with such enlightened folk as those zany, peace-loving Taliban:)

Fortunately, they haven't yet named the recipient of the Nobel Prize for Arrogance and Imbecility. Rush is the favorite, but Glenn Back, Hannity and O'Reilly are said to have a good chance.

Normally I'm a very calm person, but I just had a quiet moment of glee at the thought of arming myself with a minigun and then hunting Rush, BillO and The Glen Beck through a swamp...

These asshats are the same idiots who counselled Americans to support their President no matter what or "you're a traitor" when Shrub was president. Guess it only applies to Democrats.

This is a little off topic but it plays into Emma's earlier response.

Here are some choice quotes from the GOP when Bill Clinton sent troops to Bosnia:

"You can support the troops but not the president."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Well, I just think it's a bad idea. What's going to happen is they're
going to be over there for 10, 15, maybe 20 years."
--Joe Scarborough (R-FL)

"Explain to the mothers and fathers of American servicemen that may come home in body bags why their son or daughter have to give up their life?"
--Sean Hannity, Fox News, 4/6/99

" President . . . is once again releasing American military might on a foreign country with an ill-defined objective and no exit strategy. He has yet to tell the Congress how much this operation will cost. And he has not informed our nation's armed forces about how long they will be away from home. These strikes do not make for a sound foreign policy."
--Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)

"American foreign policy is now one huge big mystery. Simply put, the administration is trying to lead the world with a feel-good foreign policy."
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"If we are going to commit American troops, we must be certain they have a clear mission, an achievable goal and an exit strategy."
--Karen Hughes, speaking on behalf of George W Bush

"I had doubts about the bombing campaign from the beginning . . I didn't think we had done enough in the diplomatic area."
--Senator Trent Lott (R-MS)

"I cannot support a failed foreign policy. History teaches us that it is often easier to make war than peace. This administration is just learning that lesson right now. The President began this mission with very vague objectives and lots of unanswered questions. A month later, these questions are still unanswered. There are no clarified rules of engagement. There is no timetable. There is no legitimate definition of victory. There is no contingency plan for mission creep. There is no clear funding program.

There is no agenda to bolster our over-extended military. There is no explanation defining what vital national interests are at stake. There was no strategic plan for war when the President started this thing, and there still is no plan today"
--Rep Tom Delay (R-TX)

"Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is."
--Governor George W. Bush (R-TX)

This group gets farther out there by the day and become more irrational by the second. I say let the old boys have a little fun. I think the majority of Americans are finally wise to their tricks and lies. They become more unbelievable every time one of them utters something. Some day they will implode.

liberals: more afraid of Rush Limbaugh than they are of al Qaeda.

Since I had no vote in whether or not he received the prize, my opinion hardly matters. The people who make that decision had some basis for it, that no one else need understand. Many don't believe Obama should be President, but he won that vote too. They may as well suck it up.
