Off topic. Home for jokes and other misc. stuff.
Keep it reasonable.

Maybe a little award remorse :lol:
They picked him :lol: :lol:


Love this statement from the White House:
A White House official said that it was not necessarily an award that Obama would have given himself.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.

Live and learn Sven, Olle & Lena.

Your candidate and especially the winner of your meaningless (apparently) award should have to accomplish something first, unless winning the Presidency makes you a winner. Ask the fine people of the great State of Illinois to describe what this man has actually accomplished. The dude hasn't held a job long enough to establish a track record in anything other than acheiving a better job.

Clinton was a governor. GW was a governor and a chief executive in the private sector.

Whether anything can truly prepare someone for the presidency is questionable, but at least they had some experience figuring out what is workable in the real world. Obama just has his utopian fantasies...and unfortunately governs like it.
There is no charge for awesomeness

The very best part was watching him accept the award 9 days after announcing he will be escalating the war in Afghanistan by sending in 30,000 more troops. His acceptance speech was just hilarious. It sounded more like he was accepting the Nobel War Prize.
To each their own.
