You're tieing yourself up in knots, amigo.
I said no such thing, sir. I clearly stated the int'l community was duped into awarding Obama the NPP based on American presidential campaign promises and for buying Treasuries and mortgage securities prior to his emergence in office. I also stated the latter wasn't a direct assault on Obama (how could it be if it was prior to his inauguration?). I was simply using the latter as a basis for measuring the committee's ability (or rather inability) to spot bs talk, whether it be for a piece of paper or a person. Then again, I'm confident the committee had plenty of campaign promises of prior candidates stretching back for decades and they still chose to believe this politician's promises on the campaign trail. Makes you go hmmmm....

Wouldn't that be the "Nodel Dope Prize"?

I know exactly what you said.
Sir.

Default Mike Huckabee to GOP about Obama NPP: SHUT UP

Even Mike Huckabee is telling the GOP dudes to shut up about the Obama NPP award so they come across as whiners. No kidding.

Something to think about if you're a Gen-Xer like me

"When people are judged by merit, not connections, then the best and
brightest can lead the country, people will work hard, and the entire
economy will grow - everyone will benefit and more resources will be
available for all, not just select group...s." Barack Obama
