What is it?
From the title it would appear that you are saying Obama win Nobel Prize...
On a side note, it says I spelt Obama wrong, and it's suggested spelling is Osama...
Yeah probably.Quote:

But you saw it coming? Come now. :P
Fun fact: the nomination deadline for the Nobel Peace Prize is February 1, 2009, less than 1 month after Obama took office. What had he done then?
I'm not sure as to where you see I said I saw it coming. I think it's well deserved, for all he has said and done and as a support for future reference.Quote:

Now, on to the spell correction of Obama to Osama: Did you know, that in one of the New York ridings, the vote ballot sent out had Barack Osama written on it? Typo? Or perhaps attempting to plant ideas about the presidential candidate into the mind of the people....
Which seems to have worked incidentally, as he's called a terrorist, and people say he wants to destroy America (Where they got that from, I'll never know.).
Either way you look at it, America couldn't continue on the path it was on. I mean look at what happened at our economy when we let companies more or less do what they wanted, and the government was put in such a hole, I dont think we'll ever climb out. I mean, yes Obama is spending money, unfortunately, he has to to try to encourage our economy to recover. He inherited the country in such a pitiful state (2 wars occuring, failing economy, declining education and healthcare) I mean its amazing we're still 1 country. I mean people around the world are extremely grateful Obama is president, and America is now the second most hated country (behind England now) as opposed to the most hated. America must realize that we can't solve all of the worlds problems ourself, we need cooperation of an internation community.
And, as a quick side-note, both the Republican and Democrat parties are nuts. The Dems need to flex their muscle more (get some legislation passed)and should care less about getting apologies, the Republicans should look at what they were calling the Dems the past 8 years and notice that they are doing what the Dems were.
Just watch Daily Show, or Colbert Report for the most balanced news coverage (sad because their comedy programs, but they don't mind making fun of both Republicans and Dems.)
