Let go of bitter for a day. Deal with reality

Congratulations President Obama

1. Yes I wish the slaughtered civilians in afghanistan would give it a rest.
Also and if the perpetually imprisoned without a trial at bagram could shut up for 24 hrs. it would be greatly appreciated.

It's my time to feel good.

3. Oh, stop the madness. Obama didn't start the wars and he's ending one and
trying to deal responsibly with the other.

Bitter is not better.

10. Those folks died on his watch, some just last week,
and he's fighting to make sure he retains the power to indefinite imprisonment without trial of current and future abducted detainees at Bagram (the new and improved Guantanamo). Not only that he is arguing that habeas doesn't apply.

Sound familiar?

4. I really don't care. It was a suggestion.
Anyone wants to be consumed by bitter is welcomed to do so.

Obama won, he earned the recognition. Period.

7. Oh, I did

9. Obama was nominated weeks after being elected, but...
the decision to choose him was recent, so, they must have believed he was following his pledge to get Nations together and work towards peace. I believe he has worked very hard to go along to get along, that includes such countries as Iran. What about Kyota? Bush trashed it from day one, not so with Obama. He acknowledges the ramifications of polution and is working to get all countries including our own to fix this problem.

I feel good about this honor. Do hate the bashing of this honor???

13. But, the Obama haters are getting way too much media attention
The masses are easily confused and the media takes full advantage of that. The future of our country depends on some sense of honesty. They lie on the floors of Congress and the lies are repeated as if they were facts. So, I am bitter. They even hack on Obama for a Nobel Peace award..... Sorry, I am bitter and it isn't fun.
