Barak Obama Hmmmm Hmmmm..
Just sorta rolls of the tongue don't it?"“Guess what women are taking about? I don’t care if they’re stay-at-home mothers or working mothers or grandmothers. They’re talking about jobs and the legacy of debt that we are leaving our children.” Ann Romney

Add this one next to aglore's promotion of an ancient earth religion as worthy for the prize...
Didn't Nobel invent a form of gunpowder?
"in Great Britain, in 1887, Alfred Nobel developed a smokeless gunpowder called Ballistite."

If Obama is for peace, why are we still fighting wars he promised we'd be out of..?

I don't know if this is for Obama's accomplishments on the international front or the Nobel Committee rebuking Bush and his policies. I mean its only been 9 months and if a sitting president is actually to be thought of its not until the second term that they are considered.

What a joke. They guy is wadging two wars, is preparing to escalate one, and runs a detention camp. Agree with him on those issues or not, he's done nothing to earn a Nobel Peace Prize.
I only tebow in foxholes.

Since Gore won one for building a power point presentation full of scientific mis-statements and distortions, this should not surprise us....."“Guess what women are taking about?
