Actually, he deserves the Nobel Prize for having led the nation in its ugly struggle against the most pernicious threat to our country's well-being, and possibly the world's well-being: the Republican Party.



So true, however Obama is not no JFK or FDR. Generally he has still kept Bsuhes policies intact.

Lord Obama is all glitz and no substance.

As if there's been a president that's been of substance in the past 20 or so years.

I heard the committee was four women and one man; maybe they just thought he was 'hot'...;)

Compared to many of our presidents since FDR and JFK, he certainly is a breath of fresh air. Even if he doesn't accomplish anything, at least he won't continue to lead us down the path of Republican doom and gloom.

How about the last 60 years? The last solid person I can recall is Harry S. Truman.


I take that back. Eisenhower was mostly solid. We lost our Big Chance when Goldwater was savaged by the Left Wing goons and liberals.

He's managed to rile up the conservative base without actually accomplishing any of the progressive goals his supporters gave him a mandate for. This heightens the chance that a whack-job right-winger will come to power in 2012 and take us back to the 1980s.
