That stuff must have given those Nobel punks that Chrissy Matthews tingle for sure!

F them.
THE REAL PEACE MAKERS, THAT PAY WITH THIER LIVES, AND HAVE SO FOR 250 YEARS. AMERICAN SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN.
That would be my choice! Absolutely!!
But pigs will fly first.
Obama is meaningless.
Hence the “Zer0” tag.
Where’s that photo of him bowing to Arabs?
With all due respect to Manny R, it is just a case of Liberals Being Liberals.
Amen
Yeah...let’s give him a joint Pulitzer-—to him and Ayers.
Let them fight over the money.
The Nobel committee is a joke.
..probably the head Wookie, Michelle,so she could finally feel proud!....and get a few extra lobsters while on Oslo..
