- by the European intellectual, liberal elite -
Can you define what that means?
Obama did not deserve this award. Bottom line. It was a complete farce.
But I'm really sick and tired of this whole elitist, holding one's nose and pretending that they're better than the Europeans garbage...and do you know why I'm tired of it?
Because we act the exact same way as they do.
There's this fallacy that exists that claims that the opposition - whether they be American or Eurpopean or liberal or conservative - is 'elite' or 'holier than thou'...when are we going to wake the hell up and look in the mirror?
And I'm talking to both sides, myself included.

It is a complete joke. Pure and simple - it is an outright slap in the face to the people that TRULY earned it.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091012/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_nobel_economicsBy JEANNINE AVERSA, KARL RITTER and MATT MOORE, Associated Press – 46 mins ago WASHINGTON – Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics, honored along with fellow American Oliver Williamson on Monday for analyzing economic governance — the rules by which people exercise authority in companies and economic systems. Ostrom was also the fifth woman to win a Nobel award this year — a record for the prestigious honors. -------------------------------------------------- Congrats to Ostrom, but this is a travesty. I heard President Obama can balance a checkbook. Based on recent history, I would think this would be enough for the Nobel Prize in economics.

Have you seen the deficit? I don't think Obama knows how to balance a checkbook.

Hehe ... I'd hate to see his credit card statements.
