Quote from Lucrum:
"As an American I am not so shocked that Obama was given
the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his
name, because America gave him the White House based
on the same credentials."
~Newt Gingrich
I'm no fan of Newt, but he hit that nail on the head.
But let us not forget who Obama's competition was: John McCain -- George W. Bush with incipient senility. Really, the Republicans just handed the Democrats the presidency on a platter.
