Our President gets the nobel peace prize and most conservatives give a thumbs down. The US looses its Olympic bid and most conservatives give it a thumbs up!

You know who I mean, the 40th US president, Ronald Reagan. Quite an accomplishment wouldn't you say? Reagan said: if you don't care who gets the credit, then you can accomplish any thing.

In lieu of celebrating in Philadelphia, true Phillies fans know his award was a sham as he refused to put in the extra effort to catch balls near the wall, dive for catches, or make those lightning throws Victorino is now known for. <br /><br />This award is a joke. Obama's done nothing more than 1) get Elected and 2) Initiate talks with our foreign neighbors as any incoming president would do. At least Jimmy Carter worked for his Nobel prize.<br /><br />Now let's hear bob and anon-iano respond with the "Well Bush tore down our relations with XXX" bullcrap.steve mcdonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06475435322052587508noreply@blogger.com
