I know I'm late to the party, but Obama wins a Nobel Peace Prize? I'm so liberal I'm practically a communist, and *I* don't get it. It's cool, but... huh? Coleman summed it up by saying it's like the nerdy teacher's pet getting the "You're Awesome!" award while everyone else rolls their eyes and the shop kids make plans to beat him up after school.
But I had this thought.. if Obama really wanted to have people freak out, *don't* accept it. Say something like "I'm very honored, but I'm only getting started, and there are people that deserve it much more than I do." Obama would put it much more eloquently, I'm sure.
Think about it:
Everyone that's saying he doesn't deserve it would be happy.
Everyone that's saying he does would be awed by his humility.
People on the right would have absolutely nothing to accuse him of. "He's arrogant!" "Dude turned down the Nobel Fucking Prize. Does that sound arrogant to you?"
People on the left would think he's a saint. Even more so.
It's a win-win, people. Maybe I should see if I can get a job as a strategist...
