breaking news: george w. bush wins nobel anti-peace prize!

[unblock]

not to take anything away from obama's positive accomplishments and efforts, i can't help but see this award as one giant FUCK YOU to shrub.

obama's accomplishments and efforts to bring about peace and hope would not have appeared remotely noteworthy if the hadn't immediately followed eight years of unrelenting belligerence and hostility.

1. That really what this is all about in my view

I's about applauding a shift in US direction after eight years of belligerence rather than applauding actual accomplishments. But there is very little political upside to him going to Copenhagen to accept the prize and the money,

2. Bushies non accomplishments haunts him and will continue to for eons to come.

3. I think that's EXACTLY what this is....

There is no Nobel War-Monger Prize, so they waited until Bush was gone.

That being said, the Prize is sometimes given as encouragement. As a bit of a prod to ensure movementin the right direction.

So THAT being said...

Mr. President, now you have to EARN THIS
