Thats what MSM and the RNC was telling me all last week?

Now he wins the Nobel Peace Prize and now the media and the RNC is telling me its because of his star power?

WTF? Which is it?

6. This is why I can't stand the US media
They obviously just want to be negative about everything.

8. The funny part about that always was....
..... Friday morning, when he was speaking to the IOC .... this was before we knew he was a failure because the IOC hadn't voted yet ..... the press was reporting how President Obama was MOBBED by the IOC members as he entered the room. Lots of handshakes and flash bulbs.

Losing the Olympics was never about HIM (but you and I both know that.)
