Someone help me out here. I love Barack Obama, thats a given. But I am just not sure what he has done to deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

Rush Limbaugh? Bill O'Reilly?? All the hicks in my hometown who say that America is the greatest even though they've never been out of the state, let alone the country?! To say nothing of all the idiots who say Obama is a Muslim and not an American and shouldn't be allowed to be President. I don't think any of them could lie their way through a campaign and say they're willing to get along with others. They just don't play nice in the same sandbox.
