And I'm going to guess that you would also classify the shock and even outrage from liberals is also "stupid, petty, and ..... downright anti-American"?????
Or do you have to be conservative to get that sort of derisive commentary from you?
Because if you follow the news and commentary as much as I do, you would know that many staunch left wingers (including ... gulp ... NBC) are beyond baffled about this.
I have to think even Mr. Obama awoke to this news with a little bit of a "HUH???" Yup, even him ... even with that ego. It had to be a bit of a shocker. Nobody saw this one coming .... seriously.
You righties have vocabulary issues, don't you? Must come from all that spinning. "Baffled" does not mean the same thing as "outraged".
Those are good words there Sagran. That's what I got out of the many articles I read on this. Except for some ME leaders who were indeed "disturbed" the overall meme were those two words I highlighted.
Thanks. Like I always say, if you want to know what a lefty is thinking, ask a lefty.
I see your point but I would rather say that the Norwegians wanted us to realize that they did not like Bush and they are proud that we didn't elect somebody like him.
Lets look at some of the things Bush did that haven't been changed yet. Gitmo is still in operation and won't be out by the date that Oba mao promised. Our troops are still in Iraq and surely that was the unfair place we were in. Our troops are still in Afghanistan and he is getting ready to send 40,000 more there. I think the Norwegians were trying to tell him that he was not to send more troops there.
How about rendition with prisoners of war. Oba mao is still sending prisoners to Egypt where much of the really nasty questioning has always been done.
I don't think that he can back down from any of these things just because the Norwegians gave him that award. He has to do what is best for his nation and let them know that they can't call the shots. I think that lesser men would back down to them but I don't think he is one of them.
Do you really think that they want to bring Bush to any international court? I hope not, but then . . . . . . .
To the Norwegians, appearances are everything - substance, nothing - until the contrived appearance creates substance.
Is this their hope for change?
Shyt like this has been known to backfire - I'm sure they are aware of this - but what else can anyone do?
Substance, would be imprisoning the Bush/Cheney gang.
If Obama had brought that about, I would approve his award of the prize.
