I will cut taxes...many of these plans will cost money, which is why I've laid out how I'll pay for every dime..I will also go through the federal budget line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work"

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."
I'll bet he's rolling over in his grave.....August 28, 2008 - Obama nomination speech

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right."

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.....August 28, 2008 - Obama nomination speech
